United Citizens Defeating Citizens United!

Here is State Representative Kanani Souza, speaking in support of Hawai'i bill that bans corporations from spending money in the state to influence elections. This bill effectively overturns the Citizens United decision by the US Supreme Court. 14 states are preparing similar legislation.

In more videos, Velshi interviewed Representative Souza and Tom Moore, the architect of the legal principles on which the bills are founded.

"The #billionaire families gave an average total of $10 million each in 2024, an amount roughly equal to what 100,000 typical political donors gave, combined. And that does not count money that #billionaires contributed through #DarkMoney groups that do not have to disclose their donors.

#Money at that scale can be game-changing... spending money wins #elections."

"At least 64 #billionaires and 37 of their immediate family members donated directly to his [Tim Sheehy's] campaign, a New York Times analysis found. When also accounting for #money that flowed through #political committees that support Mr. Sheehy, an analysis shows that billionaires contributed about $47 million in the race that Mr. Sheehy went on to win."

More and more companies.
More and more corporations.
More and more billionaires.

Are demanding, more and more, parity, in free speech. First Amendment protections.

More and more, they diminish our rights, by paying for laws that protect theirs.

Legally.

Because the Supreme Court said they can.

Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, etc., don't have to decide between daycare, and a career.

The scales, upon which the corporate thumbs weigh, are tilted far enough.

Jump over to the other side, and right this ship.

This is step one. Baby steps.

Not deciding is also an action.

Stop not deciding.

Vote, in 2026.

Make America fucking normal, again.

Exxon, Goldman Sachs, Emily's List, Lehman Brothers, Morgan Stanley, and GE fought and died for your freedoms. Wait... No they didn't...because they're not people.

1) $15B in outside money since SCOTUS' Citizens United decision on 1/21/10

2) A record $4.5B in outside $ was spent in 2024, 800% more than the election before Citizens United

#ElonMusk has a very consistent track-record in his conversion of inherited money into stolen power. #USpol #Resist #RepealCitizensUnited

This open corruption all the way up to the SCOTUS is why voters stay home. #UnitedStatesCorruption #RepealCitizensUnited #StopProject2025 #ElonMuskPresidentByProxy

I just saw this video that talks about how the #crypto industry has bought the US election. About HALF of all corporate money financing this election is crypto money. This is transparently #corrupt, and it should be #illegal.

@RealJournalism #AIPAC is essentially an agent of the Israeli State, a foreign country. Why are they allowed to influence US elections with millions of dollars?
#CoriBush #TheSquad #RepealCitizensUnited

Canvassed for Cori again today, on a brutally hot StL summer day. I shouldn't be surprised anymore, but still am when confronted with how disengaged - no, uninformed - rotm USians are about what's going on. Couldn't even say how many I spoke with had no idea that AIPAC is spending millions to take Cori down. I'm sorta confident the people's ground game will fend them off, but it's gonna be close...

@SETSystems @MarcAbrahams

The 2010 #CitizensUnited decision was one of the most harmful rulings that #scotus has made in the modern era. #Corporations get their existence and rights from the state and imo the state has no constitutional power to allow them the same rights as natural persons.

@Npars01 @lin11c @Free_Press Umm, #BarackObama knew that the #CitizensUnited decision by the #SCOTUS cum #SCROTUS would bring disaster, and he said so during the following #SOTU address. 🤔

#RepealCitizensUnited , and #ExpandTheCourt if needed to do it!

@fsinn throwing more money at the symptoms instead of the cause. Increased security costs, increased insurance costs, astronomical medical costs when common sense gun legislation would cost taxpayers the money we’re already paying for salaries of legislators who don’t do their jobs. #repealcitizensunited Fire the #GOP

https://theintercept.com/2023/02/21/east-palestine-rail-safety-congress/ #GOPdeathParty IN A SPIRITED exchange nearly eight years ago, corrupt Sen. John Thune scoffed at his committee colleagues when they raised concerns that legislation he sponsored would add years of delay for train safety regulations. #RepealCitizensUnited #GOPcorruption #EnvironmentalJustice #OhioTrainDerailment

@scottmstedman My understanding is that he donated to both sides of the aisle.

This is yet another validation of a need to #RepealCitizensUnited as well as have #PubliclyFinancedElections.

If you already voted for Democrat candidates, THANKS - I pray that we can elect rational, caring representatives that will be supportive of millions of people that rely on progressive policies. #PublicEducation #WomensRights #LGBTQRights
