citizens congress

January 21 marks the fifth anniversary of the “Citizens United” ruling.  That’s five years of corporations and outside groups spending unlimited amounts on elections. Five years of super PACs and shadowy nonprofits.  Five years of diluting voters’ voices with growing sums of cash.

We’re marking the fifth anniversary by joining with our national partners, including our friends at Every Voice, to deliver 5 million signatures against the ruling to the Senate on January 21st.

Sign the petition with our partners at Every Voice and get on the record — tell the Senate you don’t support unregulated cash buying our elections!

Here’s what Every Voice’s petition says:

“We, the undersigned, urge the Senate to repeal the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling with a constitutional amendment that allows local, state, and federal governments to place commonsense limits on campaign contributions.  We support political reform that places everyday Americans, not billionaire and corporate donors, at the center of our democracy.“
