Come to our Netroots Nation Panel: Undoing Citizens United

Wed, 07/14/2010 - 3:20pm — Miranda

Will you be in Las Vegas next week for Netroots Nation [1]? If so, join us on Saturday for a discussion of corporate influence in elections and what we can do about it. We’ve put together a great panel of experts and activists to discuss the Citizens United [2] decision and its aftermath—including Reps. Donna Edwards [3] and Alan Grayson [4], People For’s Marge Baker [5], Public Citizen’s Robert Weissman [6], and Lisa Graves [7] of the Center for Media and Democracy.

For details, visit the Netroots Nation page on the panel: Undoing Citizens United: A Comprehensive Plan to Prevent Corporations from Buying Elections [8].

And, if you’re an overachiever looking to do some background reading, take a look at our recent poll [2] showing overwhelming opposition to the Citizens United ruling and our report on the Rise of the Corporate Court [9].
