“Money doesn't buy elections! Voters decide!”
What You Say
Voters cast ballots - but fundraising dominance shapes who can run, who gets airtime, and which bills get hearings. FEC data shows super PACs and dark-money groups routinely outspend candidates in competitive races. Citizens United didn't eliminate corruption; it moved it to undisclosed channels. Public financing and real-time disclosure - in the Blueprint safeguards - restore voter agency.
The Stab
Try winning a Senate race without donors.
