Citizens Divided: How We Lost Our Voice to Big Money—and How We Take It Back
In 2010, the Supreme Court told us corporations are people and money is speech. That’s the gist of Citizens United v. FEC, a ruling that unshackled billionaires and corporate interests to spend unlimited sums influencing our elections—as long as they did it “independently.”
What followed was a political gold rush:
Super PACs were born.
Dark money flooded the system.
And ordinary citizens—the real kind—were shoved to the sidelines.
You didn’t vote for this.
Nobody did.
But now we all live with the consequences: a democracy auctioned off to the highest bidder.
The good news? People are fighting back.
Groups like Move to Amend, End Citizens United, American Promise, and Public Citizen are working to overturn this disaster. They want to pass a 28th Amendment that says loud and clear:
Corporations are not people. Money is not speech. And democracy is not for sale.
This isn’t a left or right issue—it’s a survival issue.
If we don’t fix the way campaigns are funded, we’ll never fix the policies that impact our lives.
Take action:
Sign a petition at MoveToAmend.org
Support candidates who refuse Super PAC money
Call for a constitutional amendment
Talk about it. Loudly. Frequently. Publicly.
Because if we stay silent, Citizens United wins.
And the rest of us? We remain divided.
