CWA Expands Awareness Program on Threat to Democracy Caused by Corporate Dollars in Politics

The Communications Workers of America (CWA) is expanding its national program to educate 700,000 members and their families about the threat to our democracy posed by the U.S. Supreme Court?s Citizens United ruling. That ruling allows corporations to contribute unlimited money to political campaigns because the court determined that corporations also have free speech and other rights that individuals are granted by the U.S. Constitution. CWA?s continued commitment comes as the national AFL-CIO passed a statement endorsing action to overturn the Citizens United ruling at its winter meeting in Orlando, Florida.
