The Citizens United ruling has simply crippled our democracy and only fosters more politicians who serve at the pleasure of a select few.

The Koch Brothers donates millions of dollars to campaigns to buy politicians to serve at their pleasure.
One of these politicians just so happens to be Evan Jenkins.
