Why We Must Pass the
We The People Maine Citizen Initiative continued
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: |
This ruling opens the floodgates for an unlimited amount of special interest money into our democracy . . . I can’t think of anything
more devastating to the public interest.
– President Obama |
The most misguided, naïve, uninformed, egregious decision of the United States Supreme Court in the 21st century.
– Senator McCain |
