Do YOU think that corporations are people too?
- NOTE: You might raise your eyes at our name, "Good Citizens United." Yes, we’re nodding to the 2010 Supreme Court ruling that protected independent political speech—like the right to air and promote films or ads without government bans. That decision let a group run a movie challenging Hillary Clinton, affirming that "political speech must prevail" and nonprofits have First Amendment rights to speak freely. But here's the thing: We think the ruling went too far. Unlimited outside money has distorted our democracy, drowning out everyday voices in favor of large corporate donors with mercantile interests that dominate their motives. That's why we're advocating for reform—real campaign finance changes to level the playing field—while using those same free speech protections to call for fresh leadership.
- OUR THESIS: The state of our nation is in peril due to large corporate influences that place mercantile interests ahead of true representation. These 3 claims made by the Supreme Court majority decision in 2010's Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission case point to the absurdity of the decision. 1. "Independent spending CANNOT corrupt" 2. "Getting influence and access to politicians is NOT corrupting." 3. "Unlimited spending CANNOT damage people's faith in democracy." We disagree with all three and suspect that you probably do too.
