John,
For far too long, the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United ruling has allowed super PACs to raise and spend unlimited sums, often without full transparency about their donors. This has allowed dark money to dominate our elections, with wealthy special interests using dark money organizations to secretly influence the political landscape.
Sign the petition: Stop tax breaks for dark money donations!
The End Tax Breaks for Dark Money Act is a pivotal step towards restoring integrity in our political system by closing loopholes that have allowed billionaires to funnel vast sums into dark money organizations without paying taxes. This legislation, introduced by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Rep. Judy Chu (D-Calif.), targets the tax code's exemptions that have enabled the wealthiest individuals to exert significant influence over our democracy, all while avoiding up to $400 million in taxes on a single donation worth $1.6 billion.
Dark money's influence undermines the principles of equality and representation that our nation was founded upon. Congress must pass the End Tax Breaks for Dark Money Act so we can begin dismantling the shadowy networks of influence that threaten our democratic institutions and ensure our government truly serves the people.
Sign the petition: Demand that Congress pass the End Tax Breaks for Dark Money Act and put an end to tax breaks for dark money donations.
Thank you for fighting with us,
Democratic Values
