By eliminating campaign finance limits, the Justices are eviscerating our right to free speech and weakening the power of our votes. On April 2nd the US Supreme Court struck down all spending limits in Federal law on the total contributions which can be given to candidates, political parties and action committees.
Enough is enough. Citizens United was outrageous this decision further mutes our voices in favor of the 1%.
When the Justices took office they swore to the following, "I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and the rich." The justices have totally discounted the rights of the 99% in their decisions on Citizens United and McCutcheon."
If you are angry about this decision, if you want to vent, stand up, speak out then please sign my petition. What if 100,000 people stood up... how about a million? Congress has the authority to impeach the Justices of the Supreme Court but, why would it? The members like the way things are. We need to make sure Washington knows we are dead serious about getting the money out of politics.

Once again I congratulate you for standing up when the majority of Americans seem to be asleep or too depressed to do anything.
However, we must get this petition moving or take it down. If each of you gets one person to sign tomorrow... we'll have over 100 by Monday. If we keep building this way we can have a very successful campaign and this petition could inspire Americans who have given up.
Thanks:-)

Our voices must become a ROAR if we are to see real change.
I appreciate every minute you devote:-)
