Overturn Citizens United! Get dark money out of our elections!

Earlier this month, billionaires and Big Business celebrated the 13th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling. During the past 13 years, we’ve seen the damage that billions of dollars in secret money spending has done to our democracy. Spending on federal, state and local elections has exploded, with an estimated $16.7 billion spent on the 2022 elections, and progress on key issues Americans care about has been stalled. It’s far past time to overturn the Supreme Court’s dangerous Citizens United ruling and restore a democracy where everyday people can make their voices heard. Congress must act to protect the freedom to vote and create a democracy that works for all of us. You have the power to pass legislation — like the DISCLOSE Act — which would enforce greater transparency and accountability for dark money spending in our elections. Do so right away, please! This is a priority for me. Thanks.
