Lisa Graves — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 12:12:40 -0500

Shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down rules limiting corporate spending in elections, the Center for Media and Democracy's Lisa Graves stood up to spin by Citizens United about the ramifications of the case. Citizens United's attorney claimed that the ruling would not increase corporate spending in the coming elections, but CMD called out that spin. Listen to the full interview about the court's decision here. Please let us know if you oppose the court's ruling, by helping us rebuke the Supreme Court.
