Democracy!

Our democracy is eroding before us. The Supreme Court has made it easier to buy an election and much more difficult for ordinary Americans to vote in one.
On October 8, 2013, the Supreme Court heard arguments for McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission. One wealthy donor – along with the Republican National Committee – asked the Supreme Court to let him put even more money directly into political campaigns.

The limit was $123,000 – more than double the median income in this country.


He wanted to be able to give more.


Today, the Supreme Court shattered one of the last remaining campaign finance laws on the books, giving individuals the green light to give up to $5.9 million to influence our elections.


Become an activist and fight for what you want not just take what the government has to give.
