We’re another step closer to overturning the Supreme Court ruling that has allowed billionaires and Big Business to hijack our elections.

Last week, the House of Representatives held a hearing on the Democracy For All Amendment to reverse Citizens United.

Already, 210 members of Congress have sponsored the Democracy For All Amendment. With JUST EIGHT MORE, we’ll have a majority!

Tell Congress: Support the Democracy For All Amendment to overturn Citizens United.

Add your name now.

I was proud to represent Public Citizen’s half a million supporters in my testimony at this historic hearing — the first in the House since the court’s catastrophic blunder over a decade ago.

Public Citizen has been a driving force from Day One in the nationwide movement for a constitutional amendment that will toss Citizens United into the dustbin of history.

Here’s an astounding statistic about how utterly out of whack our campaign finance “system” has become:

Nearly half of the money propping up all those shady super PACs that oozed into existence after Citizens United has come from just 25 (not a typo) gazillionaires.

That’s not democracy.

It’s plutocracy.

Sign the petition for Congress to pass the Democracy For All Amendment before it’s too late.

Thank you.

- Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen

P.S. You can watch last week’s hearing (my testimony begins about one hour and five minutes into the video).
