Friend, tomorrow marks the 13th anniversary of the
disastrous Supreme Court ruling in the case of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission , which ruled that dark money special interest groups and corporations can
spend unlimited funds on elections.
Ever since the 2010 decision, our elections have been influenced by wealthy
far-right donors, dark money groups, and megacorporations who spend
record-breaking amounts year after year to prop up candidates, many of whom are
staunchly anti-immigrant and ardent supporters of Trumpism.
As a result, we have some politicians in Congress who proudly tout extremist
policies that are deeply out of touch with the views and values of most people
in America — and who refuse to work across party lines to pass commonsense
legislation. Today, we are sending our representatives a reminder that they are in
Washington, D.C. to represent the people who elected them not the wealthy
interests funding their campaigns.
That means listening to the majority of Americans who support a pathway to
citizenship for immigrant youth, who believe that our country should have a
humane and functioning asylum system, and who recognize the enormous
contributions that immigrants make every single day to our country.
Folks, a majority of Americans support meaningful change
to our immigration system, including passing a pathway to citizenship and
restoring asylum. Help us send your members of Congress a reminder that their
job is to represent the will of the American people — not special interests.
