Join Senator Russ Feingold: Let's end Citizens United together

Let's end Citizens United together

From Senator Russ Feingold


We've seen an explosion of big money in our political process, since
the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision two years ago. That
decision gave corporations and the super rich a green light to spend
unlimited amounts of money to try and buy our democracy. It's
outrageous.

We've fought back before, and we have to fight back again. While in
the Senate, I helped bridge the political divide in Washington to end
"soft money," a process that allowed corporations and big money to try
to corrupt our political process with unlimited contributions to the
parties. I partnered with Sen. John McCain, and together, with the
McCain-Feingold law, we closed the door to these corrupt practices.

Unfortunately, with the Citizens United decision, the Supreme Court
gutted 100 years of settled law underlying our reforms. But now we
have an opportunity to change that reckless decision.

Will you join me and Montana Attorney General Steve Bullock on
Tuesday, May 1 for a DFA Live where you'll get the inside scoop on
what we can do -- together -- to overturn Citizens United and stand up
for common sense campaign finance laws?

Steve and I, along with folks all across the country, understand that
big money and Super PACs have no place in politics. We simply cannot
allow unlimited corporate spending to taint our political process any
longer. It's against the very nature of democracy.

Join me Tuesday, May 1 to take our country back -- and end the
corrupting influence of big business on our political process.

Tommy, the road to overturn Citizens United may be long, but with
enough of us working together, we will send a clear message that we
the people do have a voice. Besides, that's what democracy is all
about.

Join me.

- Russ
