Liberal elites are out fundraising their Conservative counterparts 4 to 1. In 91% of elections the better funded candidate wins. That means the Liberals can buy the government in 2016 if we don’t do something. This is possible because of a controversial 2010 supreme court ruling called Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. A new organization called Represent.Us is the tip of the spear when it comes to putting an end to money polluting our politics.

That’s Called Corruption

On September 1, 2011 a $2 billion dollar solar energy company Solyndra filed for bankruptcy. Its normal every now and then for a business to go belly up, but Solyndra wasn’t a normal private business. Just before loosing its shirt Solyndra’s executives, many of them major Obama campaign donors, received a $536 million handout from the U.S. Energy Department. How did Solyndra get this hand out? They spent $1.8 million buying the ears of congress and Obama officials. Honest Americans already know: That’s Called Corruption.

Here are some scary figures:

The candidate with more money wins 91% of the time. Liberals have more billionaire supporters than Conservatives, and with deeper pockets. Because of the controversial Supreme Court case Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, Liberals are out-fundraising Conservatives almost 4 to 1.

Citizen’s United is a classic case of Activist Courts manipulating and corrupting our political process. David Souter, a Supreme Court Judge appointed by Bush in 2010, wrote the opinion against the Citizens United. Souter wrote that Citizen’s United radically overturned decades of election law and effectively legislated issues outside of the scope of the case. And now Liberal elites are using this activist ruling to rig elections in 2016.

The leading organization fighting corruption is a national organization called Represent.Us. Represent.Us is made up of conservatives, independents, and anti-corruption progressives and their board includes nationally recognized lawyers, business people, and politicians including Richard Painter (Advisor to President George W. Bush) and Tom Whitmore (DC Tea Party Patriots). Represent.Us is focusing its efforts on local, state, and national activism around a piece of model legislation called the Anti-Corruption Act. The easiest way to get involved is to

Liberals try to call out Republican and Conservative donors like the Koch Brothers, but this authoritative list of top individual donors shows them in 27th place with the top 10 solidly Liberal environmental, financial, and union donors. Topping the list is Thomas Steyer and his Liberal Political Action Committee(PAC), NextGEN Climate, which is out-fundraising conservative PACs almost 7 to 1.
