Why This Matters
💸 Your vote gets drowned out by $4.2 billion in secret corporate spending
Dark money groups hide donor identities while flooding elections with cash, making your individual contribution meaningless against billionaire-funded political operations that buy policy outcomes.
🎯 Gerrymandered districts let politicians ignore voter anger and serve corporate donors instead
Safe seats mean representatives fear primary challenges from extremists more than general election accountability, creating incentives to please wealthy donors rather than constituents.
⚖️ Citizens United destroyed century-old campaign finance protections in 2010
Supreme Court decision gave corporations unlimited spending power in elections, fundamentally changing American democracy from citizen participation to corporate domination of political processes.
🔧 Reform movements are winning with concrete solutions like redistricting commissions
Contact Fair Districts organizations in your state and support constitutional amendments overturning Citizens United—22 states and hundreds of cities already voted for change.
