Overturning Citizens United v. FEC is essential to restoring the integrity of American democracy. The 2010 Supreme Court decision equated corporate spending with free speech, allowing unlimited political contributions from corporations and special interest groups. This has led to an outsized influence of wealthy entities in elections, drowning out the voices of everyday citizens. Democracy should be rooted in equal participation, not determined by financial power. Overturning Citizens United would curb the influence of money in politics, ensuring a more equitable system where public officials are accountable to voters, not corporate donors.
