[ [link removed] ]Overturn Citizens United! Sign the petition>>

PFAW Member,

In 2010, the Supreme Court distorted the First Amendment with a 5-4 ruling
that it is unconstitutional to restrict PACs and corporations from using
unlimited money to influence our elections. The Supreme Court got it
WRONG.

That case, Citizens United v. FEC, opened the floodgates for unlimited
spending by Super PACs and dark money groups. And our democracy has been
under threat ever since.

[ [link removed] ]Tell the Supreme Court they got it wrong by demanding that Congress
overturn Citizens United – sign the petition today>>

Citizens United opened the floodgates for special interest groups to spend
virtually unlimited, undisclosed amounts of money in American elections.
And those groups have responded by pouring tens of millions of dollars
into campaigns to influence voters around the country.

Interest groups are increasingly calling the shots, boosting candidates
friendly to their agenda and spending enough to challenge the party’s
consensus in congressional primaries if they so choose.

Citizens United provides more power to wealthy individuals and
corporations than regular American voters. We must have common sense rules
for the raising and spending of money on elections to advance political
equality for all Americans.

Earlier this year, a constitutional amendment that aims to reverse the
damage done to American democracy by Citizens United and related cases was
introduced in House and Senate resolutions (H.J. Res. 2 and S.J. Res 51).
The Democracy For All Amendment will limit the influence of wealthy
special interests in elections and establish that corporations do not have
the same rights as human beings.

[ [link removed] ]Tell your members of Congress to PASS the Democracy For All Amendment
and put an end to secret money elections>>

Thank you,

- Zach, PFAW
