On October 8, 2013 the United States Supreme Court will hear arguments on McCutcheon v The Federal Election Committee. An Alabama businessman, Shaun McCutcheon has challenged the aggregate limit on campaign contributions that an individual donor can make in a single election. Currently, a donor may only give $123,300 in total, made up of sub-limits of $48,600 to candidates and $74,600 to party committees and PACs.


In an article by The Huffington Post http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/26/elizabeth-warren-supreme-court_n_3997916.html Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) warning that a coming Supreme Court case that could ultimately eliminate certain campaign contribution limits is a "clear danger" that threatens to expand the influence of large and wealthy corporations on elections.

Our politicians are already influenced enough by big money, the Koch brothers and the numerous non-profits and PACs. Citizens United has caused irreparable damage to democracy by allowing anonymous campaign contributions. Please sign this petition to The United states Supreme Court to let them know we are against unlimited Campaign contributions by individuals.
