Corporations That Break the Law Should NOT be Able to Fund Election Campaigns: Sign The Petition
We all know that corporations and billionaires like the Koch Brothers are dumping millions of dollars into our electoral system to back hand-picked candidates for office. But did you know that even corporations guilty of federal crimes are allowed to spend unlimited money on elections? That’s right. No matter what crime a corporation commits, it can still spend millions influencing our elections. That’s why Rep. Keith Ellison just introduced the Protect Democracy from Criminal Corporations Act. This bill would bar any corporation that has been convicted of a felony or agreed to settle felony charges for more than $1 million from donating to any candidate or PAC for 6 years. ADD YOUR NAME: Become a Citizen Co-Sponsor of the Protect Democracy from Criminal Corporations Act >> Wall Street big banks like Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase — which recently pled guilty to conspiring to manipulate the price of U.S. currency — would no longer be allowed to spend on elections until 2021 under Rep. Ellison’s law. That’s sensible reform that we need to pressure Congress to enact.
