: The GavelSupreme Court Decision Could Allow Special Interests to Drown Out Voices of Average Americans
By Speaker Pelosi
The Supreme Court?s decision represents a step backward for the American people and our nation?s political process. In lifting the limits on corporate influence in our elections, the Court opened the door to new avenues of corruption and placed special interests ahead of the public interest. With today?s ruling, the voices of average Americans could be drowned out by Wall Street banks, big oil, health insurance companies and other special interests.
