Another state has officially called for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United!
Following a three-and-a-half-year campaign spearheaded by Public Citizen — On Wednesday, New York joined California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and West Virginia.
Notably, New York is the first of these 17 states where one chamber of the legislature is under Republican control.
But it will NOT be the last.
Because eight out of ten Americans — Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike — believe Citizens United has to go.
And with Public Citizen leading the way — as we’ve done from the moment the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its disastrous decision — we will build on today’s momentum, including campaigns already underway in states like Arkansas, New Hampshire and Washington.
