Our Democracy Can't be Sold
On Thursday, January 21, 2010, the Supreme Court ruled in Citizens United v. FEC that corporations have free reign to spend unlimited money on elections, ignoring two decades of precedent.
The stakes are high. If big business like health insurance companies, oil companies, and Wall Street investment firms are allowed to spend billions to get candidates elected, the voices of ordinary people across America will be silenced.
Congress can stop the effects of this ruling by passing the Fair Elections Now Act, public financing of elections.

Our democracy is in jeopardy because of the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. FEC. The voices of ordinary Americans will be drowned out by the billions of dollars corporations are now allowed to spend freely in elections. Congress must act to ensure elections can be fair by passing the Fair Elections Now Act, public financing of elections.
