To: The California Supreme Court and California Supreme Court
Tell the CA Supreme Court: Give CA voters the opportunity to overturn Citizens United!
Money is not speech, and corporations are not people. It’s time to overturn Citizens United!
We demand that Proposition 49 be put back on the ballot in 2016.
California voters deserve the right to weigh in on this critical issue and take back our democracy from the corrupting influence of corporations and billionaires.
Why is this important?
The “Koch Primary” -- a meeting of billionaires and right-wing presidential hopefuls held by the Koch Brothers in Palm Springs, CA -- has made California GROUND ZERO for fighting the corrupting influence of money in politics. And we must demand that Californians have a right to weigh in on this critical issue with Prop 49.
Since the disastrous Citizens United ruling opened the floodgates of corporate money in our elections, the Koch brothers’ extreme right-wing agenda has become the platform for virtually the entire Republican Party -- including "Koch Primary" attendees, Senators Ted Cruz (TX), Rand Paul (KY), Marco Rubio (FL), and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. And if one of these candidates becomes President in 2016 -- with the Koch Brothers' help -- say goodbye to Obamacare, women's rights, and every progressive value we care about most.
The fight to stop this madness starts by demanding that Prop 49 be put back on the ballot in California in 2016 -- to allow California voters to decide whether the U.S. Congress and California Legislature should approve a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.
