Team, Today marks fourteen years since the Supreme Court ruled on Citizens United, one of the most controversial – and impactful –court cases in recent American history. The Court ruled that independent political expenditures by corporations and unions are protected under the First Amendment and not subject to any sort of restriction by the government. In short, there is no limit on how much a for-profit or not-for-profit organization can contribute to a political campaign. Some folks argue that corporations are artificial legal constructs that are not entitled to First Amendment rights. Others believe corporations and unions to be legitimate participants in public debate whose views can help educate voters as they form their opinions on candidates and issues. But we want to know what you think. Do you support the Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United and corporate influence in politics? YES NO Thanks for your feedback! – Montana Democrats The Montana Democratic Party is the party of the people. We welcome to our cause Montanans of every color, creed, and condition.
