CWA President Larry Cohen addresses the rally.

Below: CWAers gather on the steps of the Supreme Court.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments for a case challengingone of the remaining campaign finance laws on the books, which ShaunMcCutcheon, a wealthy Alabama businessman and conservative activist, andthe Republican National Committee brought against the Federal ElectionCommittee. McCutcheon and the RNC are arguing that the limit on the totalmoney one individual can contribute over each election period $123,000 is unconstitutional and violates that private citizen's First Amendment rights. Ifthey're successful, wealthy donors will be able to give an unrestricted amountof cash directly to PACs, parties and candidates making it even easier for

rich people to buy elections.

On the steps of the court, campaign finance reform activists urged the courtto defend these "aggregate contribution limits," so that the strength of

Americans' political voice does not depend on the size of their wallets. CWAPresident Larry Cohen connected the dots on how the Supreme Court'srulings on free speech issues have hurt our democracy.


12/17

"This court and its predecessors confused free speech when it came toworkers' rights 70 years ago, when this became the only democracy in theworld to say that employers can run orchestrated campaigns against theirown workers under the banner of free speech. We say here today that'scalled union busting," he told the crowd. "Today we say clearly, free speech

is not equal to money."

He added, "We know what democracy looks like. And we will fight to have a21st century democracy in terms of our voting rights, in terms of stopping theobscene spending by the richest billionaires in the world and also at work, soworkers again have rights."

Check out Cohen's full speech on C-SPAN.

Demos had filed an amicus brief in the case on behalf of the four principalconveners of the Democracy Initiative (CWA, Greenpeace, NAACP, Sierra

Club) as well as organizations that represent small businesses (Main StreetAlliance), young people (OurTime.org, Rock the Vote), working families(American Federation of Teachers, Working Families Organization), and thepublic interest (People For the American Way Foundation, U.S. PIRG).

In Michigan, consumer advocacy groups and members of the MichiganElection Coalition CWA, PIRGIM, Common Cause Michigan, and theCampaign Finance Reform Network also called on the Supreme Court touphold campaign contribution limits.

"We're entering dangerous territory where money could trump citizens' best

interests," said CWA Staff Representative Mike Schulte. "We're opposing thismeasure to protect voters' best interest, and to make sure that money isn'tdictating law but instead the will of the people."
