Oregon's representative Kurt Schrader has introduced a Constitutional amendment to give Congress and the states the power to regulate campaign contributions, reversing the effect of Citizens United.
Special interests should not have the ability to use millions to influence our elections. It’s a matter of fairness. They don’t want a level playing field and they will spend millions to keep it that way.
While there are some small changes Congress can make around the edges, the major problem is the Supreme Court’s 1974 flawed decision in Buckley v. Valeo that money equals free speech.
That’s why I have introduced an Amendment to the U.S. Constitution giving individual states and Congress the authority to limit the influence of special interests in our elections.
