Петиция
Дайте отпор влиянию больших денег: отмените Citizens United
Корпорации, группы особых интересов и некоторые из самых богатых людей страны тратят миллиарды долларов, чтобы повлиять на выборы 2024 года, фактически заглушая голоса простых американцев.
Вот почему я призываю Конгресс отменить катастрофическое решение Верховного суда по делу Citizens United, а также принять Закон о свободе голосования и Закон DISCLOSE, чтобы дать отпор проблеме больших денег в нашей стране.
Did you see that Elon Musk pledged [1] (then walked back) [2] an eye-popping $45 million per month to elect Trump and his allies in 2024?
That’s a staggering sum – and Musk is far from the only big spender this year. On the right, on the left, and everywhere in between, we have billionaires and special interests buying their way to outsize influence in our elections, simply because they’re richer than you or me.
But no matter who it is, we ALL pay the price when wealthy megadonors get to buy their way to a bigger say in our democracy – with inaction on healthcare and minimum wage, and tax giveaways to the ultra-rich.
That’s why Common Cause has fought for years to undo the Граждане Объединенные status quo and pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the DISCLOSE Act – which would return power to everyday Americans and limit Big Money’s influence in our democracy.
Join us in calling on Congress to END the Citizens United era and pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the DISCLOSE Act!
