Public Citizen Texas "Don't Get Rolled" Rally

On September 9, 2009 Public Citizen Texas held a rally to raise awareness about the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission Supreme Court Case. With this re-hearing, the court has signaled it is considering sweeping away a century old pillar of campaign finance principles: restrictions on direct corporate financing of candidate campaigns. if that were to happen, not only would the nature of elections change fundamentally, but corporations would further crowd out voters and the public interest in policymaking on health care, climate change, and other critical issues.

This rally was part of Public Citizen's national Don't Get Rolled campaign. To learn about this campaign, and for more information about the case, visit www.DontGetRolled.org
