How We Get Rid of Citizens United – Robert Reich
The Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United opened the floodgates to campaign spending by giant corporations. This upended campaign spending limitations.

States can pass laws that limit election spending and hold corporations accountable under those laws. Montana has passed such a bill, and 9 states have already introduced similar bills.
