John, Since the Supreme Court’s January 2010 ruling in Citizens United, major multinational corporations like Amazon and Airbnb consistently spend record-breaking sums to influence our elections and advance political agendas in their favor, circumventing direct bans on foreign influence enshrined in federal law. But many states are now taking action to put an end to foreign-influenced corporate spending in elections. Free Speech For People has worked tirelessly to help advance our model legislation that would prevent multinational corporations from contributing to candidates, parties, or committees (including super PACs) or from engaging in their own direct election spending. We’re rallying supporters across the country to ensure that our democracy works by and for we, the people. But to keep our efforts going, we need your support. Will you donate what you can today to help us keep foreign-influenced corporate spending out of our elections? In the past few months, legislators in New York, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Washington, California, and Hawaii have considered bills that would put an end to spending by multinational corporations in state elections. The states will lead the way on this, but to truly put a stop to foreign-influenced corporate spending in our elections, we need federal legislation closing the glaring loophole created by Citizens United. Our ability to power a nationwide movement against multinational corporate political spending depends on you. By donating to Free Speech For People, you are getting us one step closer to a democracy that is truly by and for the people.
