Two years out from the Citizens United (CU) decision and it’s no more popular than it was on day one, but it’s still the law of the land. However, there are real people making progress on changing it, and you can track their progress here. Click these links for a primer on CU from Truthout.org and a video describing the backlash against CU. Check here for the city, state, and federal proposals to overturn the ruling, and here for a cool interactive map showing the places that have passed resolutions against CU. Finally, if you want to get involved, you can check out any of the organizations leading the fight- People For The American Way, Oregon Common Cause, and Move To Amend are great places to start.
