What is End Citizens United?

[BigFaker]

As an ignorant foreigner I'm afraid I don't know what the main goals and priorities of this group are.

Could you please explain what this group is aiming for (Also, what exactly it is ending) or direct me to some suggested reading so I can educate myself on the issues?

Good question (one that I was working on! I swear)

This was a court decision in the United States that said corporations are deemed people (because they are made up of shareholders) thus they can donate as individuals to political parties and politicians and like groups without disclosing who or how much is given.

This decision has allowed for anti-union corporations to basically buy the governor of Wisconsin who got rid of collective bargaining for union works.

Since then, billions of dollars have flooded into politics and deregulation is just one of the problems stemming from this one decision.
