This petition is to request that the Congress and the President of the United States use their power to repeal the "Citizens United" Supreme Court decision. "Citizens United" is a decision that will undermine the bedrock of our Democracy, and we cannot let it stand.
Why is this important?
"Citizens United" is a recent Supreme Court decision that basically equates corporations with people and money with speech. Both of these actions are civil rights issues, as corporations are NOT equivalent to persons, and there is not an equality of wealth from person to person or between person(s) and corporations. This is similar in nature to the 'separate but equal' arguments that supporters of apartheid gave back in the early 1960's.
