We should all support Mary Peltola. She is a great candidate. But if you are interested in the Citizens United v. FEC decision: ICYMI There is a recent interview by Paul Krugman, Nobel Prize winning economist, Distinguished Professor of Economics at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, columnist, Substack publisher, etc. of Lisa Graves, a lawyer ( J.D. degree from Cornell Law School), She previously served as the Chief Counsel for Nominations on the United States Senate Judiciary Committee under Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), as Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the United States Department of Justice during the Clinton Administration, as an adjunct law professor at the George Washington University Law School, is currently the executive director of True North Research and president of the board of the Center for Media and Democracy and has testified as an expert witness before several committees in the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives on national security. Lisa Graves is one of the nation’s foremost experts in exposing how special interests distort public policy and try to thwart the public’s interest in a thriving democracy and healthy planet. In the interview they discuss the facts surrounding these important issues and the US Supreme Court’s role. These issues will affect your

lives and the lives of your children. Enjoy the interview.

We need to do it now....this is why the Billionaire Class is running and ruining America. Citizens United give any one person or corporation the ability to buy any election or candidate by giving endless amounts of money to buy an election.....It must stop Now!!

Like perhaps,

the Green Party and its candidates??

But if you have a Green Party candidate you want to share info about, please do.

I don’t understand what you are trying to say. It’s the second time you’re making a Green Party comment on a note of mine. You might want to take the time to look into some of the endorsed candidates above. Many amazing ones among them. I’m no establishment dem, farthest thing from it. Berner here (he’s a democratic socialist fyi). Like him, the ones above run under the ticket for convenience because they never hear the end of it when they try to run under a third-party ticket and get blamed for Republicans winning elections. Ralph Nader is another favorite of mine. And Jill Stein was great too (oh yes, I’m very familiar with the Green Party).

We waived our rights to free and fair elections when the 2024 election results were obviously fraudulent, but nothing has been done

YES, End ‘Cizens’ United’! It is a major player in our ‘Ailing Democracy’

Mychal's avatar

Do you ever support candidates who belong to an entire party that makes it a platform position to not take Big Money, and by that I mean candidates of the Green Party?

Legal corruption has been the American way for at least the last 50 years thanks to the Republican Party. It’s the rich facilitating the rich to get richer off the backs of the rest of us.
