IT'S POISONING OUR DEMOCRACY

Special-interest spending is poisoning our democracy, Lucas.

Citizens United has literally opened the flood gates for anonymous donors to spend billions to influence our elections – and we’ve seen the dangerous consequences: skyrocketing campaign spending, endless misleading ads and voters’ voices drowned out by mega-donors.

It’s time we shine some light on who’s buying our elections and put power back in voters’ hands.

I’m calling on Congress to end Citizens United, and I need you with me.

Campaign finance reform has always been a priority for me. In the New York City Council, I authored the bill that paved the way for today’s grassroots-centered campaign finance system in New York City. At the time, it was called one of the toughest and best campaign finance bill in the nation. In Congress, I co-chaired a task force to support the eventual passage of historic campaign finance reform across the country.

But thanks to Citizens United, corporations and special interests can now spend virtually as much as they want on election ads with little to no accountability or transparency – and voters have no way of knowing who’s spending billions to sway their vote.

Citizens United has created a world in which a few billionaires can pay to drown out everyday Americans’ voices. It’s outrageous, and we can’t let it continue. Add your name to join me in urging Congress to end Citizens United!

Take action today: Sign the petition to tell Congress to end Citizens United.

Thank you for standing with me,

Carolyn
