Montana push aims to curb Citizens United, style political spending
Other states may be able to pursue this strategy. It's an important issue because the influence of corporate money on democracy affects every state, not just Montana. If it survives constitutional challenges, it could become a model for nationwide reform of corporate political spending.
David Harvey10Hawaii already passed a law eliminating Citizens United. "Hawaii enacted Act 11 (SB 2471) on May 14, 2026, to bypass the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling by redefining state corporate powers rather than regulating speech."
Leah4Maine voted on something similar a couple years ago, crafted to challenge and hopefully win in the SC. It's still working it's way through the courts. I love all these states getting creative to find *something* that will work!! 💙
Go Deep, I'll Look for You3Hawaii already passed a similar law.
Mae ☮️ ✍🏻1Why would we go state by state when we can go federal now that the dems have control? Asking nicely, so please respond nicely. thank you.
Make Puerto Rico and DC states. Expand SCOTUS. Eliminate the electoral college. End Citizens United. Roe v Wade again. DEI again. USAID again. & more like bring back every person we sent to prisons around the world. Seize Trump family wealth for corruption. Pay down Trump's debt. Seize Elon's SpaceX
Impeach Krasnov -34Seize SpaceX. And bring it under NASA. Prosecute Musk for election interference and deport him! Don't just release the Trump-Epstein files, prosecute! Shame the rapists and jail them! Stop blowing up fishing boats. Break-up the press monopoly. Put the press back in the Pentagon. Kegsbreath 2 Hague.

DianneSpiritlight1Wow, you really should’ve run for Office!!
Initiative 194 bans “artificial persons” like corporations from donating to campaigns etc. It passed.
cjdit.bsky.social1So great. Other states are also working to rein in the outrageous sums of money that impact elections, and corral Citizens United on their own because of the Supreme Court's horrible decision.
SpeakFreely55 - It's that damn simple.1Damn, well done #Montana, well done. Two States down, 48 to go!
I still believe that we deserve party leaders who lead by example. I still believe we should end Citizens United. It's not within my power to choose Dem leadership and we have soooo much to do to keep our country from falling apart so I choose to chill on this for now. youtube.com/shorts/HO7Ic...
JewelzinAZ4No way do I support those men as leaders in our government. They both are bought and paid for by corporate interests and Israel.

True Blue2Schumer folds when his bluff is called. Every time. The other side knows this. The other side wants Schumer and Jeffries. That right there is all I need to know. If you want the same results as in the past, then keep doing the same thing.
True Blue1The audacity of this guy telling people "your feelings don't matter." That makes my blood boil. Apparently, only he, Schumer, and Jeffries are smart enough to understand "politics." He's talking about the corporate and foreign owned politics that make up the old guard democrats. WTF!!
True Blue1He is arguing for the same tired do-nothing democrats we've suffered in the past.
True Blue1Jeffries wouldn't vote to stop stock trading by congressional reps. Jeffries doesn't believe in Medicare for all, owned by big insurance companies, big pharma. Jeffries held private meetings with Jared Kushner. Jeffries thinks holding Republicans and trump accountable to the rule of law is "revenge"
