A massive challenge but not impossible. It's a problem worth solving because the slide into corruption is not where we wanna be. #GetMoneyOut
H.R.2352 would cap Super PAC donations and close the coordination loophole. 78% of Americans support it. Congress still won't act. Tell your rep to cosponsor it now.

It's a tough one.
Money just corrupts people and we're governed by the corrupt.
There are few grassroots funded politicians left. We could have had one of them as our president if the corrupt DNC hadn't sabotaged it. 🤷

Their scepticism will go right out the window with #AIPAC 💰 legally bribing them during their run for office...

Citizens United opened the floodgates. H.J.Res.54 closes them — declaring rights belong to people, not corporations, and money is not speech. 80% of Americans support it. Tell your rep to cosponsor it now.

🔍Transparency around lobbying isn't just about numbers; it's about ensuring our government works for voters and not just those who can afford constant access to lawmakers. 👉Read the article at bit.ly/2025-lobbying-report #GetMoneyOut #WisconsinVotes #MoneyInPolitics
H.R.2352 would cap Super PAC donations and close coordination loopholes. 78% of Americans support it. Congress won't move on it. Contact your rep directly and demand they cosponsor it. Takes two minutes.

Exactly.
Add the legal bribing of our politicians, & we're ruled by Corp owned tools w/ varying levels of social & economical support for We the People-just never enough to make us the priority over their sponsors' greedy interests.

In general, I 💯 agree with you.
At this awful moment in time, I'm thankful that we still have him.
Also, yes to fresh blood but until 💰 is taken out of politics, all we ever get are politicians beholden to lobbyists/special interests.
Grassroots is the answer.
#getmoneyout #overturncitizensunited
I like the man but Mark needs to stop taking money from #AIPAC and acknowledge that there ARE others that are grassroots funded like Bernie and AOC.
We need to #getmoneyout and
#overturncitizensunited.
Ability to egally bribe our politicians is a big part of why we can't have nice things like #m4a
One minute to demand your rep support H.J.Res.54—the constitutional amendment to get corporate money out of politics. Rights for people, not corporations. Money isn't speech. No dark money in politics!
#GetMoneyOut
#citizensunited is one of the worst things to happen to our nation.
Legally bribing our politicians is the root cause why we can't have "nice things" like universal health care. 🤬
Both parties are on the take. Disgusting.
#getmoneyout #overturncitizensunited
Yep. I'm pretty sure she would have won anyway b/c Americans are getting tired of "conservative" New Dems / Third Way DINOs.
Aside from that, #overturncitizensunited & #getmoneyout to actually have a semblance of "democracy" vs legal bribing of our politicians-in this case a FOREIGN COUNTRY no less.
Ah yes. The legal bribing of politicians continues...
And this one goes a step further, it's a PAC for a foreign country.
How the f_ck is that even "legal"?
Or better say it should not be.

Let's quit trying to put oligarchs in office.
I like Kelly but he must reject #AIPAC funding.
We need a GRASSROOTS FUNDED, well adjusted POPULIST that runs on a #greennewdeal type platform and has the cahonas to stand up to Repubs.
Guaranteed landslide win.

Ridiculous to think that there even IS such a thing as a US based PAC for a foreign country that can legally bribe our politicians. 🤬

Having said that, I like Mark
He needs to reject special interests & run grassroot funded

It’s been 16 years since the ruling in Citizens United v FEC, and U.S. elections and Wisconsin politics have transformed into a profoundly more oligarchical system. Ruled by the few ultra-wealthy and for the few ultra-wealthy, this ruling opened the floodgates for those who have the means to pay to dictate election outcomes and influence politicians. Money is not speech. Money should not dictate who has a say in elections.
16 years of Citizens United = oligarchy in practice.
Wisconsin elections now flooded with out-of-state corporate cash. Ultra-wealthy decide who wins, Wisconsinites get ignored.
Money ≠ speech. Democracy shouldn't be pay-to-play.
#CitizensUnited #GetMoneyOut
to come out for the "underdog" team seems a waste of vote, thanks to our outdated electoral college election system.
Overturn #CitizensUnited and have people funded populist candidates w/ the #greennewdeal platform.
That's what gets voters to the polls‼️

Don't mind them - they're just your typical Bernie hater spewing discord.
Bernie is a mensch who loves and fights for all Americans.

Pls pay attn.
Universal HC will NEVER pass as long as special interests can legally bribe our politicians.🤬
Bernie has had a plan for decades.
Obama ran on it & won but caved to centrist *healthcare pony* neolibs & settled for ACA.🙄
Dems = moderate Repubs‼️

We need a party that actually represents the LEFT, not just the pragmatist voter that's fine w/ the status quo/conservatism of the Dem party.
Example: the "Healthcare Pony" is easily funded as proposed for decades.
Unless you're owned by pharma/HC lobbyists.

... their destruction of our *already shitty* healthcare system...
We could have a universal healthcare system like every other western country if it wasn't for our two corporate owned parties. 😡🤬
*Healthcare Pony* neolibs bear responsibility.

Ok...we might get really into it. But still, ask us! Wanna know who is funding a candidate's campaign? Who is lobbying and pushing policy? Anyone can #FollowTheMoney at wisdc.org! #MoneyInPolitics #GetMoneyOut
#CitizensUnited overturned "An Act to prohibit corporations from making political contributions" Tillman Act 1907.
#GetMoneyOut
Prohibiting corporate contributions can be done again if #WeThePeople demand it of our candidates.

Remember when Obama ran on universal healthcare? 🤔
I do, it's why I supported him over "healthcare pony" her
It's a big reason he won
Unfortunately he backed down pursuing it after ACA passed b/c "corp owned Dems" aka as "the other conservative party" had lobbyi💲t💲 to keep happy... 🤬
