To: Rep. Mark Takano (CA-41)
Rep. Takano, it's time to overturn Citizens United
We urge you to stand up for our democracy and co-sponsor an Amendment to the US Constitution to overturn Citizens United and halt the corporatist takeover of our democracy.
Why is this important?
Unlimited, frequently secret political spending from billionaires and multinational corporations, and shadowy, well-heeled foundations fronting for rich special interest groups has created a disaster for our democracy. If we do not act, corrupt money will overwhelm our election process drowning out the voice of the people. This system of government by financial racket is corroding and destroying our democracy, leading to government by the highest feudal bidder, rather than government of, by, and for the people.
