Community Conversations - Citizens United
In November of 2014, 72% of the voters of Dunn County voted yes to a referendum to amend the U.S. Constitution to overturn the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision. The Citizens United decision has opened the floodgates of money into elections. Should money be equated with speech? - that gives the ultra-wealthy a megaphone in our elections.

Should our representatives have the right to pass legislation to place limits on spending in our elections?
