Speaking truth to power. I love it

David -
In this election, there's going to be a whole mess of shadowy Super PACs funded by the super wealthy for nearly every presidential candidate.

That is, everyone except for our campaign.

The Supreme Court's decisions in Citizens United and other cases opened the gates to a flood of billions of dollars that threatens to undermine our democracy.

I have led the fight to put an end to the corrupting influence of big money in our politics. What we need now is a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.

Our democracy is not for sale. Can you sign our petition to join me in supporting a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United? Click here to add your name.

It's not an accident that 99% of new income created in the last 5 years went to the top 1%. It’s not an accident that Republicans refuse to accept the reality of climate change. It’s not an accident that the Republican budget calls for huge tax breaks for billionaires.

The lesson here is that our political system isn't broken, it's rigged.

The laws are written by politicians to please the corporations and ultra-wealthy, who bought those politicians with hundreds of millions of dollars in political contributions.

We need a political revolution to return our government to be of the people, by the people, for the people.

It starts with taking our country's destiny out of the hands of the billionaires who want to buy this election. We must overturn Citizens United to get big money out of politics.

Thanks for your support,

Bernie Sanders
