Support petition to reverse court ruling

Three years ago, the Supreme Court pulled off an unprecedented power grab, handing huge corporations new powers to influence our elections.

The Citizens United decision took power out of the hands of the people — and flew in the face of Montana’s tradition of preserving our democracy against the incursion of outside special interests.

We’re going to build a coalition to overturn this disastrous decision — and you should join us.

Help me reverse the Supreme Court’s power grab and put control of our elections back where it belongs — with the American people. Join the fight to reverse Citizens United — sign the petition today.

Citizens United was particularly galling for Montanans because we have a long history of resisting corporate influence, one that dates back to the Copper Kings a century ago.

We believe that elections should be determined by the will of the people, not the attacks of the special interests. That’s why I’ve been fighting back against the effects of this decision since it was first issued three years ago.

And I need you fighting alongside me.

Sen. Max Baucus.
