John, it’s time to get dark money out of our elections.
Since the Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, we’ve seen the influence of political spending and dark money increase drastically in our elections.
That’s why Pramila introduced the We The People Amendment to finally kneecap corporate political spending. By stipulating that the First Amendment applies only to “natural persons” rather than corporations, this amendment would effectively reverse the U.S. Supreme Court’s final ruling in 2010.
John, if we want to make sure our upcoming elections are free of dark money and accurately represent the voice of the people, we need to overturn Citizens United and support the We The People Amendment. Add your name today to build momentum and power for our fight to end the influence of dark money in our elections.
Corporations are not people, and money is not speech, John. And in every cycle since the disastrous Citizens United decision, we’ve seen more and more special interests pour dark money into campaigns across the country. This has to stop.
Through television, radio, and digital ads, interest groups have been able to spend an unruly amount of money to influence our elections. An estimated $8.9 billion dollars was spent during the 2022 midterms making it the most expensive Congressional election cycle. And Super PACs have infiltrated our politics to disregard campaign finance laws and ethics.
We can no longer ignore the immense growth of corporate power and corrupt political influence from the endless sums of dark money in our elections. And as a champion of the people, Pramila understands how vital preserving the integrity of our elections is to ensuring that our democracy accurately reflects our country.
Pramila is committed to breaking down the pillars of injustice that have upheld our government for far too long. And the We The People Amendment is the systemic and tangible solution that matches the urgency of this moment.
In solidarity,
Team Pramila
