Stand Against Citizens United

If we could pick one word to define the 2014 elections it would be: Money. And lots of it. An estimated $3.67 billion was spent on the 2014 elections, much of it by Super PACs and outside groups endorsed by the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling (and other bad legal decisions).

January 21 marks five years since the Court issued this disastrous decision and the impact has been unmistakable: More control over our politics from wealthy interests and donors. As a result, less trust in the government to act on our behalf.

Overturning or reversing Citizens United, as well as passing small donor public financing systems like the Government By the People Act, would put our elections where they belong — in the hands of all of us, not just those who can write big checks.

Only by standing together can we create change. Urge the Senate to repeal the Citizens United decision and support strong political reform that places everyday Americans, not corporate donors, at the center of our democracy.
We, the undersigned, urge the Senate to repeal the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling with a constitutional amendment that allows local, state, and federal governments to place commonsense limits on campaign contributions. We support political reform that places everyday Americans, not billionaire and corporate donors, at the center of our democracy.

Sincerely,
[Your name]
