To: Rep Nancy Pelosi, California Representative
Ask Rep. Nancy Pelosi to support legislation to get money out of politics.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi recently said we need to "reduce the role of money in politics. Our founders did all that they did for democracy - a government of the many not a government of the money. We must overturn Citizens United..."
Ask her to support legislation that would do just that.
Why is this important?
The now infamous Citizens United ruling gave corporations a Constitutional right to influence elections through unlimited spending. This spending has a major impact on who gets elected and how public policy is crafted.
There is a movement to reverse the effects of this Supreme Court ruling and regain control of our government. Several US Representatives have proposed resolutions to amend the US Constitution and establish that money is not speech and corporations do not have the Constitutional rights granted to people.
Rep Nancy Pelosi speaks often about the need to do something about this problem, however she has not signed on to any of the existing legislation, nor has she written her own resolution to remedy this issue.
