The corporate lobbyists prowling the halls of Congress are more powerful than ever.
Why? Because one year ago, the Supreme Court gave the bosses in charge of these lobbyists the right to unleash unlimited sums of money to reward lawmakers who pander to corporate interests — and punish any who get in their way.
This is no way to run a democracy.
Help restore democracy to the people. Sign the petition for a constitutional amendment to reverse the Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.
Friday, January 21, is the one-year anniversary of Citizens United v. FEC. Concerned citizens are mobilizing demonstrations in Washington, D.C., and across the nation, and we are delivering your signatures to Congress.

The consequences of Citizens United v. FEC have been devastating. In last fall’s elections, corporate spending soared, and sources of outside spending were kept secret.

Let’s show Corporate America what democracy really looks like. We’ve got a long battle ahead, but together, we can win.
