This 2010 Supreme Court Decision allowed corporations , unions and other nonvoting entities to spend unlimited amounts on campaigns.

The decision opened the floodgates for super PACs and dark money to dominate our elections.

When billionaires and corporations pour money into campaigns our voices get sidelined.

In a Representative Democracy such as ours, this has tremendous additive, under-the-surface consequences.

This imbalance tilts policy priorities towards wealthy interests and away from Mainstreet needs.

The spiraling cost of campaigns sideline the legislature’s work to the point where most congressional offices spend 75 % of their time trying to raise campaign money. Their constitutional mandate to create meaningful bills and listen to their constituents are now secondary to monetary fund raisers.

We believe that only those individuals who are registered to vote should be able to contribute to any candidate’s election campaigns.

We believe that there should be a reasonable limit to all contributions rather than the spiraling ‘Cold War’ of campaign funding increases.

We believe that the Citizens United decision can and must be reversed to re-establish the peoples true power to vote.
