Citizens United and Oregon

I got an Email from our State Representative Carolyn Tomei, and she had traveled to Washington DC to meet with activists at Public Citizen about a resolution in the State Legislature.  I am glad she is taking this initiative, feel free to give her words of encouragement.

Here is what she had to say.

"Many of you have written to me about the Supreme Court’s Citizen’s United decision regarding the ability of corporations to unduly influence the outcomes of elections by making exorbitant campaign contributions.  While in Washington D.C., I visited with advocates at the non-profit organization Public Citizen.  Working with them and others here in Oregon, I will be introducing a measure that proclaims Oregon’s support for a constitutional amendment that could reverse the Citizen's United decision.  We need to make sure that our government is in the hands of the people, not in the pockets of large corporations."
