Defining the foundational error of Citizens United

We do not have freedom of speech when the rich can drowned out the voices of the majority with their money, buying influence and monopolizing the message, spreading lies and half-truths, and ideology as fact.

We need to affirm the voice and the freedom of speech of ordinary every-day people; that means restricting the wealthy and corporations to the same levels as those ordinary individuals.  No PACs, no big campaign donors.
