John —
Now more than ever, we need to protect the voice of the American voter and combat the corrupting influence of dark money over our elections.
The Supreme Court’s decision in the landmark Citizens United v. FEC case overturned decades of precedent, deregulated corporate campaign spending, and allowed billions of dollars in dark money to flow into our elections.
By allowing wealthy donors and corporations to give unlimited sums of money, Citizens United opened the door for the creation of Super PACs which spend those dark and untraceable dollars. This has spurred an endless deluge of sensationalized and misinformed political ads that have divided and disillusioned our country and its politics.
I just introduced a Constitutional Amendment to overturn the Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United and to protect our elections from unrestrained spending by wealthy donors and corporations.
Dark money has weakened the voices of our people – allowing for dark interests to sway the tides of public opinion. And it’s allowed for individuals and corporations to buy elections, at the local, state, and federal levels.
That is not how our democracy should function. One person, one vote. Drowning out or diminishing a voter's voice with the power of capital is at odds with how our system is supposed to work.
That’s why I introduced this Constitutional Amendment. I know it’s a tall task to accomplish. But it’s the right thing to do. Together, we can work to bring an end to the stranglehold of dark money on our Democracy.
| ADD YOUR NAME |
Citizens United overturned decades' worth of precedent, weakened campaign finance laws, and magnified the power of wealthy donors and corporations in our electoral process. Meanwhile, it minimized the strength of voices like yours. And I cannot stand for that.
It’s time we close this dangerous loophole and ensure that individual Americans have the most say in our elections.
Thank you for your support.
