Is It Time To Mount A Campaign To Overturn Citizens United?......

I Have To Ask This Question.....

If timing is everything - Is it time to mount a campaign to overturn Citizens United?

I know that the Repugs like the money they get from the Corps - but isn't this a chance to have both the Corps & the Repugs (i.e., Moscow Mitch, Hawley, Fox News, Laura Ingram, etc) to put their money where their mouth is?

All the Corps that signed on to that ad opposing voting restrictions. The Repugs saying Corps should stay out of politics. The Dems never on board with Citizens United.

Would we be able to garner some bipartisan support?

It is one way to keep the Corps out of politics - isn't it. With CU overturned. Huh?

That's neither quick nor easy, but it's wisely said: "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
