The Supreme Court this morning ruled in favor of Shaun McCutcheon et al in McCutcheon v Federal Elections Commission, declaring that aggregate campaign contribution limits on wealthy individuals are unconstitutional.

Please tell your friends, family and co-workers about the rallyNow is the time to take our fight to the next level and mobilize across the country. Hundreds of Rapid Response Protests will be taking place today around the country. It will be a massive response that the media, Supreme Court and Congress won't be able to ignore. Join us!
 
In McCutcheon, extremely wealthy GOP donor Shaun McCutcheon and the Republican National Committee challenged limits on the cumulative total of contributions that an individual may make directly to candidates, political parties and political action committees. The Court's ruling in favor of McCutcheon today is another blow to our electoral system and could be as damaging as Citizens United.

This case means campaign spending limits are off the table for wealthy individuals. It's Citizens United for the one percent.
 
Tell the Supreme Court: 
We want elections, not auctions! We demand democracy!
