Over fourteen years ago now, the Supreme Court of the United States delivered its terrible ruling in Citizens United v. FEC. A majority of the court concluded that the same rights to free speech afforded to individuals must also be extended to corporations.
Since then, corporations have spent billions of dollars to influence elections nationwide to manipulate our political system and serve their own special interests. It’s got to stop. Join us and sign now to call for the overturning of Citizens United.
Pharmaceutical corporations, the fossil fuel industry, insurance companies, and other special interests now wield dangerous amounts of power over American politics — this SCOTUS decision has allowed the rich and powerful to buy our elections and undermine the voices and votes of everyday Americans.
We’re just weeks into 2024, but $318 million has already gone towards the presidential and congressional elections — six times the money that had been invested in races by this point in 2020.
Allowing special interests and dark money to lord over our political system. American citizens are losing faith in the value of their vote. We can’t continue to let the ultra-wealthy few drown out the voices of the majority. to buy access and influence. Everyone deserves to have their voices heard.
Sign the petition to Congress: Overturn Citizens United now!
