Legislate to Overturn Citizens United and Cap Campaign Donations
Pass legislation to overturn Citizens United and cap all campaign contributions at $5,000 per entity, no exceptions. Every individual, PAC, super PAC, and corporation should face the same hard limit. The current system lets billionaires and corporations drown out ordinary voters with unlimited dark money, and Congress has the power to end it. Pair that cap with a full public disclosure requirement. Every donor list, for every campaign, should be available to anyone who asks. Voters have a right to know who is funding the candidates on their ballots. Transparency is the minimum standard a functioning democracy requires. This is not a fringe position. The American public has consistently opposed unlimited campaign spending by wide margins. Congress has stalled long enough while outside money reshapes election after election. Act now.
