January 22, 2024 - San Francisco — Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi issued this statement marking fourteen years since the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. FEC:

“In the fourteen years since the Supreme Court's undemocratic Citizens United decision, big dark money continues to flow unchecked, poisoning our politics.

“Americans are blessed by the outside mobilization of those working tirelessly to offset the harm caused by this disastrous ruling.

“Democrats' Freedom to Vote Act would end the dominance of big, dark money in politics, and our John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act would protect access to the ballot box. But Republicans are blocking these vital bills. 

“Democrats will never stop fighting to ensure America is a government of the many, not a government of the money.”
