Today is the 10-year anniversary of the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling. That's 10 abysmal years of corporations, special interests, and trickle-down fanatics using their money to co-opt our democracy and undermine our economy.
Our proof? Wealthy donors were able to elect pawns to pass their agenda and ensure they are doing better than ever. Rich donors wanted more money so wages have stagnated for 90% of Americans. And trickle-downers have such a stranglehold on our government, they passed $1.5 trillion in taxes for themselves and corporations while cutting funds for food safety, housing, and health care.
Citizens United has enabled all of this because wealthy, deep-pocketed extremists can give anonymous dark money to buy elections, influence our court nomination process, and do whatever it takes to keep wealth for themselves.
There's a way we can fight back: Pass a constitutional amendment to stop special interests and extremist billionaires from spending anonymous, limitless cash to influence our elections.
Will you add your name now to demand Congress pass a constitutional amendment overturning Citizens United?
