The US became an oligarchy with citizens united. The last two barriers are failing now to becoming an autocracy (rigging of the voting system in all ways and the Supreme Court ruling in nearly all cases that the executive branch is superior to the other branches and laws). I hate to break it to you, but it's over. Unless the people can stop the Supreme Court from giving everything away… 🤔 🤷🏽♂️
Senator Merkley is the real deal. He accepts zero PAC money.💴
He’s a leader in pushing to ban Congressional stock trading, exposing dark money, protecting our democracy, our voting rights, our human rights, and the environment.
He’s up for reelection this year, and once again, his campaign is financed by individual donations from people like me. (And you, if you want to support someone who walks the walk.)
In addition to my (modest) monthly donation, he’s got my respect and my vote.🗳️
Yeah, except there’s one catch all these term limits. These cocksuckers are gonna have a whole bunch of pension to them. They’re not eliminating their pension which means they don’t have to do like other government employees and work a minimum of 20 years to get one.
If campaign donations are in a Super PAC the money can be spent on whatever the candidate chooses. Financial lobbying is bad enough without providing a way to give huge bribes to buy our leadership.
The most important issue we face. Nothing can be accomplished until we prohibit the rich from buying our elections.
We Oregonians love you, Jeff Merkley! ❤️🌲❤️🌲❤️🌲❤️
Get rid of it. It’s the whole problem in Congress
Go Jeff!
maybe if we were a free country

Let’s keep the good ones!
Go Jeff. You are a great Senator.
Supreme Court has NO ETHICS!
Didn’t Citizen’s? united the one s that put the money into politics
It legalized bribey by designating corporations as persons, or granting corporate personhood, with donations counting as their “free speech” rights! 🤬
Do you think Gorsuch has any regrets arguing for the passage of that law, maybe he should be impeached or just resign?

We must also get rid of the conservative Judges on Supreme Court!!

Get rid of citizen United
Citizens United stands at the center of the corruption that is fueling our slide into authoritarianism.
