Jack, sign the petition: We MUST overturn Citizens United!
SIGN THE PETITION
The Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United v. FEC decision 14 years ago opened the door to unlimited spending to influence elections. It has created an increase in wealth inequality, where the wealthy have an unlimited influence over our democracy, making democratic participation and the votes of everyday Americans less significant. The rise of dark money since Citizens United further erodes public trust in our political system.
It is time to put the power of elections back in the hands of the people. Congress must overturn Citizens United and ensure a democracy where everyone, no matter how wealthy, can make their voices heard.
Sign the petition to Congress: We need a democracy where all voices can be heard. Overturn Citizens United now!
SIGN THE PETITION
Thanks for all you do,

P.S. Below is an email we sent out earlier calling on Congress to overturn Citizens United:

The 2022 political cycle was the most expensive midterm election on record, and 2024 is on track for yet another record-breaker. The spending sprees are driven mainly by billionaires and wealthy special interests dropping absurd amounts of money in order to sway our elections. And thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Citizens United we can expect spending to continue escalating unless we stop it.
Fourteen years ago the Supreme Court issued its landmark Citizens United v. FEC decision. This ruling equated the free speech rights of individuals to corporations, opening the door to unlimited corporate spending in elections. Now, all of that big-donor cash is perverting our political system. Billionaires spend big to prop up their chosen candidates and push their own agendas. This leads to HUGE sways in our elections and strips the power of voting from the American people – entirely undemocratic.
Sign the petition: We MUST overturn Citizens United!
SIGN THE PETITION
Citizens United erodes our democracy, giving the power to influence elections to wealthy donors, corporations, and special interest groups.
The ultra wealthy have been given outsized power while the rest of our voices struggle to be heard. We MUST overturn the dangerous Citizens United ruling and build a democracy where everyone plays by the same set of rules, no matter how wealthy.
Sign the petition to Congress: We need a democracy where all voices can be heard. Overturn Citizens United now!
SIGN THE PETITION
Thanks for all you do,
