#SuperPACs #BigMoney #RepresentUs #OpenSecrets #PoliticalReform
In America, money doesn’t just talk—it manipulates our elections. From $2 million House races to $20 million Senate seats, big money from corporations, Super PACs, and billionaires holds the power. In a post-Citizens United world, elections are more about who has the deepest pockets than who represents the people. This broken system leaves everyday voters in the dust.
But we’re fighting back. City by city, state by state, we’re passing anti-corruption legislation, ending gerrymandering, and getting dark money out of politics–all to give voters better choices and create a system that works for all Americans.
