Repeal the Citizens United vs. FEC Ruling

The Issue

The Supreme Court's decision on Citizens United vs. FEC in 2010 has drastically changed the landscape of American politics, allowing corporations to spend unlimited amounts in support of political candidates. This ruling, equating money to free speech, tipped the scales of our democracy, favoring the wealthy and corporate interests over the average citizen. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, billions have been poured into federal elections since the Citizens United ruling, with the 2020 election cycle witnessing over $14 billion in total spending, almost double the figure of the previous presidential election cycle. It is clear that this ruling enables a disproportionate influence over our political process by the wealthy. To restore fairness and integrity to our elections, we must repeal the Citizens United decision. Redefining 'free speech' and 'corporate personhood' to align with the democratic principles upon which our nation is founded is critical. The health of our democracy requires action. Sign this petition to show your support for the repeal of the Citizens United vs. FEC ruling.
