Overturn Citizens United Now: A Unified Call to Restore Democracy
The Time to Act is Now
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum—left, right, or center—there is one issue that threatens the very foundation of American democracy: unlimited money in politics. Since the Supreme Court’s Citizens United v. FEC decision in 2010, corporate money, billionaires, and dark money groups have hijacked our electoral system, drowning out the voices of everyday voters. This isn’t about Democrats or Republicans—it’s about whether we, the people, still have the power to choose our leaders and shape our future.
Why Citizens United is Destroying Our Democracy
1️⃣ It Lets Billionaires & Corporations Buy Elections
Since 2010, outside spending in elections has skyrocketed, with billionaires and corporate PACs outspending small donors by a massive margin.
In the 2022 election cycle alone, over $1 billion in dark money flooded federal elections, much of it untraceable.
2️⃣ Your Vote Means Less When Money Decides Elections
Politicians are now beholden to their biggest donors, not their constituents.
Legislation that benefits everyday Americans—like lowering prescription drug prices, fighting corruption, and fair tax policies—gets buried because it threatens the interests of big donors.
3️⃣ Both Parties Are Compromised
While politicians talk about reform, both parties continue to take massive contributions from corporations and the ultra-wealthy.
This is not a partisan issue. Whether you are a progressive, a conservative, or an independent, your ability to influence government is being eroded by the legalized bribery that Citizens United enables.
What Can We Do? Demand Action NOW
We must come together as a unified movement to demand that our elected representatives introduce and pass legislation to overturn Citizens United. Here’s how:
✅ Contact Your Representatives – Demand that they bring a constitutional amendment to the floor NOW to overturn Citizens United. Call, email, and show up at town halls.
✅ Support the “For the People Act” and Other Anti-Corruption Bills – Legislation like H.R. 1 seeks to limit dark money and increase transparency in campaign finance.
✅ Organize Locally – Join grassroots organizations pushing for campaign finance reform. Your state and city governments can take action even if Congress drags its feet.
✅ Spread Awareness – Many Americans still don’t realize how much power corporate money has over their lives. Share this message, educate your community, and demand change.
This Is the Fight of Our Lives
If we don’t act now, our democracy will continue to be an auction house where only the highest bidder has influence. It’s time for conservatives, liberals, and independents to set aside partisan differences and unite against the corruption of our political system.
🚨 Call to Action: Demand your representatives bring this to the floor IMMEDIATELY. Tell them we will not stand by while our democracy is sold to the highest bidder.
The future of our country depends on it. We must act now.
