An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Overturn Citizens United and keep us from turning further into an oligarchy.

8 so far! Help us get to 10 signers!

The consolidation of wealth and power by a select few billionaires poses a grave threat to American democracy. The Citizens United ruling has allowed unbridled spending by these oligarchs, undermining the integrity of our elections and policymaking. This imbalance has emboldened figures like Musk and Trump to brazenly claim ownership over our government. We implore you to take immediate action to curb the corrosive influence of unchecked money in politics. Citizens United must be overturned or significantly reined in through legislation. Stringent transparency requirements, strict coordination rules between campaigns and outside groups, and limits on individual political spending are imperative steps. The American people's faith in our democratic system hinges on your willingness to confront this existential threat head-on. Our founders established a government of, by, and for the people – not a handful of billionaire barons. Uphold your sworn duty to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, including the creeping oligarchy subverting the people's sovereignty. The future of our republic depends on rebalancing power away from the wealthiest few and back toward the citizenry.
