We’re only two quarters into 2019, but corporate PACs have already given almost $100 million to political candidates.
That’s a lot of money to leave on the table for us. Plenty of representatives fund basically their entire campaigns with PAC donations — but not us.
We want to be accountable to only one interest group: you. Not Raytheon, not Amazon, not Walmart, not Purdue. We’re fighting for the American people, and Ro doesn’t want to give those major corporations even an ounce of special treatment.
From Lockheed Martin to Blue Cross/Blue Shield, lobbyists and powerful corporations wield our broken campaign finance system to force their agendas on the country, and block progressive change.
It has never been more clear that we need to end Citizens United, and get money out of politics. But in the meantime, we also need leaders who will practice what they preach, and refuse to benefit from a system that allows massive corporations to undermine the democratic power of the people.
