Fight back against Big Money's influence: Overturn Citizens United
U.S. Congress
Did you see that Elon Musk and two other billionaires have spent an eye-popping $220 million in just the last three months to support their preferred presidential candidate? [1]
That's a staggering sum – and these three billionaires are far from the only big spenders this year. On the right, on the left, and everywhere in between, we have billionaires and special interests buying their way to get outsized influence in our elections, simply because they're richer than us.
But no matter who it is, we ALL pay the price when wealthy megadonors get to buy their way to a bigger say in our democracy – with inaction on healthcare and minimum wage, and tax giveaways to the ultra-rich.
That's why Common Cause has fought for years to undo the Citizens United status quo and pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the DISCLOSE Act – which would return power to everyday Americans and limit Big Money’s influence in our democracy.
Join us in calling on Congress to END the Citizens United era and pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the DISCLOSE Act!

Corporations, special interest groups, and some of the wealthiest people in the country are spending billions of dollars to influence the 2024 elections – essentially using a megaphone to try to drown out the voices of everyday Americans.
That's why I'm calling on Congress to overturn the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision – and also pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the DISCLOSE Act – to fight back against our country's Big Money problem.
