| Two Maine Senators speak out about Citizen’s United v. FEC |
| The effects of the decision will be to undermine existing law, flood the airwaves with corporate and
union advertisements, and undercut landmark reforms that I and many others fought to secure to put elections back in the hands of the American people. In short, today’s decision
was a serious disservice to our country. – Senator Olympia Snow |
| Citizens United is the worst decision of the United States Supreme Court in my lifetime,
and–I think–for probably the last 100 years. – Senator Angus King |
Who Is horrified by the Citizen United decision and wants Corporate Personhood overturned?
Everyone Left, Right, and Center
| The decision is so deplorable that President Obama and John McCain actually agree: |

– President Obama |
The most misguided, naïve, uninformed, egregious decision of the United States Supreme Court in the 21st century.
– Senator McCain |
