Public Campaign: President Obama on Fair Elections in March, 2007

“I also believe that if we’re serious about change, we need to have a real discussion about public financing for congressional elections. Because even if we can stop lobbyists from buying us lunch or taking us out on junkets, they’ll still be able to attend our fundraisers – and that’s access the average American doesn’t have.”

— Barack Obama, August 2, 2007

Tell Congress: Stop Corporate Control

The Citizens United v. FEC decision is judicial activism and arrogance at its worst. The Supreme Court has overturned decades of precedent and opened the floodgates of corporate spending in our democracy. We cannot afford even greater corporate and special interest influence in Washington, D.C.

Americans want a political system that empowers people and not big corporations. Sign our petition. Tell Congress to fight back.
