Reverse Citizens United

Reverse Citizens United

The Issue

The Citizens United ruling has brought a flood of shadowy, corporate money into our political process. It’s an attack on our democracy. In a system where one person, one vote is supposed to be the rule, huge corporations are having an outsized influence. Now, a group of Democratic senators has introduced a constitutional amendment to limit corporate influence in elections.

Sign our petition, and demand passage of the Reverse Citizens United Amendment. Voters need to have the biggest voice in our democracy, not corporate-financed special interests.
