This site is a referral site to action organizations that are fighting the disastrous Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. FEC that removed all restraints on corporate political contributions. The site also refers people to other issue action organizations and to reliable sources of information.
"With its ruling today, the Supreme Court has given a green light to a new stampede of special interest money in our politics. It is a major victory for big oil, Wall Street banks, health insurance companies and the other powerful interests that marshal their power every day in Washington to drown out the voices of everyday Americans."

"Corporations have no consciences ....they are not themselves members of 'We the People.'"
"I hope we shall ... crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations which dare already to challenge our government in a trial of strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country."
It will take grassroots action to save our democracy from becoming a Corporate State. In WWII, democracy prevailed against the external Axis Corporate States. Now the threat is from corporations within. Our democracy is at stake again!
Bill Moyers: (Ex PTV) Called today to be "the most dangerous moment in history due to corporations' increased political power and influence on our democracy. We cannot allow our democratic processes to fall prey to special interests and I know you share my determination to halt our country's slide toward becoming the United Corporations of America."
Bob Edgar: (President of Common Cause) "But unless we stand and fight --- now and with more passion that ever --- our democracy will be changed forever into a corporate plutocracy.It is encouraging that a recent Washington Post-ABC News poll revealed that 85% of Democrats, 81% of Independents and even 76% of Republicans oppose the Supreme Court's ruling on Citizens United v. FEC.
