About Citizens United and why this ruling by a corrupt Republican Supreme Court majority must be overturned:

“January 21, 2020 marks a decade since the Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, a controversial decision that reversed century-old campaign finance restrictions and enabled corporations and other outside groups to spend unlimited funds on elections.

The court case involved a conservative nonprofit group called Citizens United which challenged campaign finance rules after the FEC stopped it from promoting and airing a film criticizing then presidential candidate Hillary Clinton too close to the presidential primaries.

A 5-4 majority of the Supreme Court sided with Citizens United, ruling that corporations and other outside groups can spend unlimited money on elections.

With its decision, the Supreme Court overturned election spending restrictions that date back more than 100 years. Previously, the court had upheld certain spending restrictions, arguing that the government had a role in preventing corruption.

As a result, corporations can now spend unlimited funds on campaign advertising if they are not formally “coordinating” with a candidate or political party.”

Here’s an excellent article on how corporations get around campaign finance laws by donating unlimited amounts of dark money to Super PACs: https://sunlightfoundation.com/2016/04/21/arent-there-limits-on-campaign-contributions-and-other-questions-youre-too-embarrassed-to-ask/

Corporations are not people. Spending money isn’t speech. If that were true, then the more money you have the more speech you have. That’s oligarchy- not democracy.
