Ten years ago, the Supreme Court forever altered the composition of our democracy. In their Citizens United decision, they opened the floodgates for dark money to infect our democracy and corrupt our leaders.
In ruling that corporations were entitled to First Amendment rights, our democracy has been unable to halt the tide of corporate dark money from swaying the decision making process.
Every year, PACs dump hundreds of millions of dollars into our elections — overriding the voices of voters, and violating the principle of “one person, one vote.”
Refusing all PAC money results in us losing millions of dollars in donations every year, but our principles are simply more valuable.
The only way we can change the system is by showing everyone that you can refuse corporate PAC money, and that as legislators, we can overturn Citizens United, and return democratic power to the people.
