Since we won't be able to overturn Citizens United with the current Supreme Court, & it will take a while before we can have a Constitutional Amendment to provide public funding for federal campaigns, these kinds of state efforts are everything. Look for happenings in your state.
New Yorkers finally have the chance to fix our broken campaign finance system, but only if we all demand it. Pledge now to give everyday New Yorkers a real voice in their democracy: bit.ly/2GvXcaH

What does overturn Citizens United mean, Captain Rhetoric? You and your ilk need to sell your fellow Americans on a concept that clearly defines what & who is & isn't subject to regulation, and what authority Congress has/doesn't have. It's not the Court's fault you can't do it.
We know that currently most dems are just as averse to removing big money from our political system as reps. If you get elected and thats still the case, would you consider an executive order?

All it takes is Democrats taking all branches of government & increasing supreme courts seats (its been done) . Also, the Dems have to want to overturn Citizens United & if we are going, to be honest corruption isn't only in Republican party there are many corrupt Democrats too.
