An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Support Supreme Court Reform to Restore Campaign Finance Protections

4 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

The Supreme Court's latest campaign finance ruling is a five-alarm warning for democracy, and I need you to champion meaningful Supreme Court reform now. The 6-3 decision, split entirely along ideological lines, overturned a 2001 precedent that protected against corruption by capping coordinated spending between political parties and candidates. That precedent wasn't overruled on principle — it was dismantled by a court that has systematically gutted campaign finance law since Citizens United in 2010. This ruling hands an immediate structural advantage to whichever party has more money — right now, the Republican Party and its affiliates have $256 million in the bank, twice what Democrats hold. Coordinated party spending is especially powerful because candidates get the lowest broadcast advertising rates within 60 days of an election, a discount unavailable to outside groups. The dissent said it plainly: this decision "jettisons a rule needed to protect our democracy's integrity." History is clear that when money flows without limits into elections, accountability flows out. That is how democratic systems get captured. Court reform — whether through term limits, binding ethics rules, or structural changes to how justices are appointed — is the lever that addresses the root cause. I'm asking you to act on this before the next election cycle makes the damage irreversible.
