Overturning two prior cases and undoing a century of First Amendment doctrine, the Supreme Court recently ruled that corporations have the right to spend as much as they want supporting or opposing the election of a candidate.

Through lobbying, soft money and direct contributions, special-interest groups already sway elections. But this new ruling takes political endorsements to a new level -- giving moneyed groups the green light on influential political spending. Come the midterm elections in November, we can expect even more campaign ads from any corporation with millions to spend on behalf -- or against -- a candidate.

House Republican Leader John Boehner of Ohio called the new decision, "a big win for the First Amendment, and a step in the right direction." But in reality, the Supreme Court's ruling threatens to undermine the integrity of our elected institutions.

Don't let corporations take control of Congress. Speak out and demand that Republican Leader Boehner push back against this new ruling and support elections that are not run by special interests!

Dear House Republican Leader John Boehner,

As a concerned U.S. citizen, I am writing you to voice my concern at the recent Supreme Court ruling overturning restrictions on political spending by corporations.

Before this ruling was passed, special-interest groups already swayed elections through lobbying, soft money and direct contributions. But this new ruling takes political endorsements to a new level, and come midterm elections in November, we can expect even more campaign ads from any corporation with millions to spend on behalf of a candidate.

Congress belongs to the American people, not to fortune 500 companies. You recently called the new ruling, "a big win for the First Amendment, and a step in the right direction." But in reality, this new ruling threatens to undermine the integrity of our elected institutions -- something that both political parties cannot afford to have happen.

Now is the time to push back this ruling and let the American people take control of elections -- not moneyed corporations. Thank you for all your hard work and I eagerly await your response.

Sincerely,
[Your name here]
