Tzedek, Tzedek Tirdof: Stop the Corporate Takeover of our Government


Tell your elected officials that you are outraged over the Supreme Court decision that has the potential to allow corporations like Exxon-Mobil and Walmart to be the strongest political voices in the country.

"Better a little with righteousness than a large income with injustice." -Proverbs 16:8

We deserve a country where our elected officials are not bought and paid for by Big Business. The recent Supreme Court decision in the case Citizens United vs. FEC overturned over a century of precedent and opened the floodgates for unlimited amounts of corporate money to flow into our political system. Shockingly, the court's decision may even allow foreign corporations and large multinationals to manipulate our elections.

If we do nothing, this ruling has the potential to allow corporations like Exxon-Mobil and Walmart to be the strongest political voices in the country.

Join CBST and Credo Action in signing a petition to President Obama and the Congressional leadership telling them they must enact strong laws to save our democracy from the pernicious influence of corporate money.
