16 years after Citizens United, Hawaii's S.B. 2471—a bill under which Hawaii would no longer grant corporations the power to spend in its politics—has passed both chambers with bipartisan support and is now one step away from Gov. Green’s desk. Let’s do that here! If we can get money out of politics we could have a real democracy! It’s disgusting and erodes our democracy when wealthy donors are allowed to buy or influence elections. I was raised to believe that the US is a democracy. A government that other countries should idealize and strive to be like. It is our job to restore our democracy to secure footing after the Citizens United decision placed it in jeopardy!
