Welcome to night two of our Fighting Corruption Legislative Focus week! Tonight’s topic will be about Campaign Finance Reform.

This thread will be short, but please know I take this topic very seriously and want our democratic processes to be as fair and transparent as possible.

The point I hope to get across tonight will be on getting big money, and the influence that can come with it, out of politics, period.

That includes corporations, foreign businesses, Super-PACS, etc.

One huge step our country can take is by overturning Citizens United.

Please read this article on why we need to @StopBigMoney and #EndCitizensUnited once and for all in America.

That’s one huge step America can take to enhance our campaign finance reform.

What can MO do about it? Well, I will refer you to the thread from last night, which covered @CleanMissouri and why it’s so important we Missourians #VoteNoOn3 this November 3rd.

Missouri deserves a fair and balanced democracy, and you, my fellow Missourians, deserve a government that looks past party politics, and focuses on solutions and putting YOU the people first, PERIOD.

Let’s start a new decade of Missouri politics. jamesformissouri.com
