Citizen United is the root cause of current societal decay.

Citizen United created a loophole that allows foreign interference into US government policies and institutional processes. Through Citizens United, Super PACs were born with no ability to verify or stop foreign funds and foreign influence into US elections and policy debate.

It is the super PACs that fund paid protest that stop free speech in policy debates that are designed for the public to be informed. When those debates are terminated, those same pac paid resources replace the debate with their propaganda to the public.

Now add in NGOs. Many super PACs are also aligned with NGO funded by the government to the point the money is essentially comingled through advocacy actions. Now you have the citizens competing with its own government for a voice at the table.

In the end, the citizens have lost the ability to compete for equal access and the ability to exercise their free speech. The few people that control the super pacs have a insurmountable power over the voice of the citizens. It's not anything close to a fair expression of ideas.

Look at what we know for facts are paid pop up protests. Take the Super PAC money away and tell me if those organized protest are relevant in our politics today. Are those people participating if they are not paid? Is the news media covering those protests if they are not paid protesters showing up and only maybe a handful of people with homemade signs are standing around?

This is not how our policies or elections were ever supposed to be. It's not a coincidence that they are supposed to be FREE elections. The use of high powered sup funded PACs to sow chaos and impede the free flow of ideas from citizens is not FREE.

Prove me wrong.
