Dear Lucas,
Our democracy is designed to be a government of the many --
not a government of the money.
Yet since
Citizens United
was decided in 2010, our elections have become all about the outside cash.
Outside groups have spent a staggering $1.9 BILLION since
Citizens United went into effect. Powerful interests and corporations are trying to use
their bottomless bank accounts to buy our democracy.
Democrats are fighting to overturn the effects of this disastrous decision.
And today, we need your support. Demand
Citizens United
be overturned -- sign our petition today.
It's been five long years since
Citizens United was decided. We've seen just how badly outside money is affecting
our elections. Special interests get their issues heard, while middle
class families (who don't have millions of dollars to spend on campaign
ads) get drowned out of the discussion.
Five years is enough. The voice of the people -- not the bank accounts
of the privileged -- should determine our elections.
If you agree, sign our petition to overturn
Citizens United
now.
Thank you for fighting beside us.
Nancy Pelosi
