NY Legislature to Get Corporate Money Out of Elections

New York is poised to play an important role in the movement to overturn Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that allowed unlimited corporate spending on elections.

K1016 is a resolution that would put the New York State Legislature on record as calling for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.

If you are in the Albany area, attend the New York Assembly Election Law Committee Hearing tomorrow (Tuesday, March 27) at 9:30 a.m. in Room 715 of the Legislative Office Building.

If you believe that corporations should not have the same rights as people to contribute money to political campaigns. Please notify the New York Legislators to vote YES on #K1016.









NYC Wins When Everyone Can Vote!

Under current law, corporations cannot donate to candidates for federal office. Citizens United does not end the ban on corporations donating; it merely said they can speak independently.

Corporations using stockholders money in any political process with getting their stockholder's permission, is wrong.
