It’s no secret that powerful multinational corporations are fighting progressive reforms in Washington on health care, the environment, energy, economic recovery and other crucial issues. By mobilizing their vast resources, they are able to thwart real public interest reforms in their insatiable quest for ever-expanding Wall Street profits.
Think this problem can’t get any worse? It can.
Soon, the Supreme Court could strike down a century of modest limits on corporate influence in politics, allowing unlimited corporate money into our elections. On September 9, the Supreme Court heard the case, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, and a decision is expected before the end of the year.
A bad decision by the Supreme Court would open up the floodgates to corporate money in politics. Progressive efforts that corporations oppose could be rolled over by their immense amounts of cash. Voters would be effectively shut out of the political process.
IF a bad decision is made, we have to show that the public will not stand for increased corporate influence in politics. Corporations don’t vote, and they shouldn’t be permitted to spend limitless amounts of money to influence election outcomes. Don’t let our elections and progress get rolled by corporate power!
PLEDGE TO PROTEST!
Pledge to protest if the Supreme Court allows more corporate influence in our elections! We are planning a protest to have a big impact that most people will be able to do wherever they are when the decision is handed down. In the meantime, check out our other protest suggestions and find out about the actions that took place around the country on September 9 on our blog, CitzenVox.org.

Keep talking to Everyone I see about the continuing abuse of power from the people in power in Washington DC and on Wall Street.
I will persistantly remind everyone I meet that this abuse of power will cause harm to them personally, sooner than later, and the time to act is before we lose everything.

Public with common sense need to come out, rally and speak. Carrying big signs ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, in big cities and small towns on the same day. In Republican and Democritic areas. The lobbys should be totally removed. Congress and public office should be paid at an uppler middle class rate, but should be about service NOT POWER AND WEALTH.
