Dear Ralph,
More than 350,000 people have signed our petition against Citizens United.
That’s a fantastic start, but Citizens United might be just the tip of the iceberg.
In the coming months, the Supreme Court is expected to rule on a case called McCutcheon vs. FEC, and that decision might unleash even more money into our elections.
By now, you probably know what Citizens United has done to our elections — dark money, anonymous donors, and billionaires like the Koch brothers spending tens of millions of dollars against progressive candidates.
Special interests spent more than $40 million in my race alone in the 2012 elections.
McCutcheon could expand the damage of Citizens United by allowing even more money into our democratic process.
I can’t predict how the Supreme Court will rule in McCutcheon, but I know we need to be ready for anything. Thank you for your support.
Sherrod
