I'm back on the #soapbox. And I'm going to be on it a long time talking up #CitizensUnited until it sinks into the brain of everyone here. If we want a HOPE of restoring the #integrity of our #elections it MUST be overturned. #DarkMoney is overriding our voices in the ballot box.
#CitizensUnited was and is the nail in the coffin to any pretense of #democracy. How do you think this #IllegitimateRegime was installed? #DarkMoney is the major culprit. Then there was the #Russian interference, #Hacking, #VoterSuppression and #Gerrymandering.
A #PerfectStorm
We lost our voices this last #election that was a #coup. #WI alone suppressed 300K votes & that's just the tip of that iceberg. Throw in the #CitizensUnited #DarkMoney of #Adelson #Kochanistan #Mercerville et al #Russians #hacking #Gerrymandering & there you go. #Democracy dies.
A little history: We tried, folks. In 2014 the #Senate voted to overturn #CitizensUnited. The @GOP filibustered. See the names of those who killed it. #BoughtAndPaidFor? YOU BET. Time to try again or we are finished as what we call America #VoteThemOut2018

There are a few ways #CitizensUnited can be overturned. #SCOTUS itself could do it, but that's not happening with this court. We could force a #ConstitutionalAmendment with the consent of 75% of the states, a tough row to hoe. OR we can try the same route as we did in 2014.
The trick? We MUST take back both the #House & #Senate with a majority. It's absolutely vital that you get off the couch & to the polls & #VoteBlueNoMatterWho in #November2018, If we don't keep the hands of the #Oligarchy out of our #elections we're done as what we call #America,
