WASHINGTON DC (KOLO) – U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen has introduced a Constitutional Amendment that would overturn the Citizens United ruling.
The ruling overturned federal campaign finance restrictions, and found laws restricting political spending by corporations and unions violated the First Amendment.
Rosen says her Democracy for All Amendment would also overturn judicial decisions around campaign finance law.
“Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision, billionaires like Elon Musk have been pouring unlimited amounts of dark money in an effort to influence elections – increasing Washington gridlock,” said Senator Rosen. “Nevadans are sick and tired of mega-corporations and dark money special interest groups spending huge sums to influence our elections. Our Constitutional amendment will help root out dark money and limit excessive corporate campaign spending. I’ll keep pushing to pass this commonsense legislation that strengthens our democracy.”
