END CITIZENS UNITED

I support an amendment that would overturn Citizens United. There is far too much money in politics and the top 1% and corporations have way too much influence in elections through faceless SuperPACs and dark money. This also opens the door to foreign interference in our elected government. I believe, we should move to public funding of elections which would give all citizens the chance to participate in the political process without having to compromise their ethics in order to fund their campaigns. We have a proliferation of millionaires in federal elected positions, an overwhelming majority of congressional members are millionaires - the median net worth of a member of congress is $1.03 million in 2013 compared to average American households of the same year being $56,335. A majority of the members of congress spend many hours a week soliciting funds from wealthy donors rather than trying to create a better life for Americans. I will not accept contributions from SuperPACs, PACs, or corporations, I am only answerable to my constituents and will only accept contributions from individuals.
