The Disgrace of Citizens United


From Senator Bernie Sanders - Don't you wish we had 99 more Senators like him who represent only the best interests of his constituents and this nation?


History will record that the Citizens United decision is one of the worst in the history of our country. At a time when corporations have more than $2 trillion in cash in their bank accounts and are making record-breaking profits, the American people should be concerned when the Supreme Court says that these corporations have a constitutionally-protected right to spend shareholders' money to dominate an election as if they were real, live persons. If we do not reverse this decision, there will be no end to the impact that corporate interests can have on our campaigns and our democracy. - Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)
