One year ago, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down the ruling, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, potentially altering the political landscape for years to come. Join us for a discussion with veteran journalist Renee Loth of The Boston Globe and pioneering legal advocate John Bonifaz, co-founder of Free Speech for People. What has been the impact of the Citizens United decision? How did it effect the 2010 mid-term election in terms of money, advertising and outcomes? What can we expect in the 2012 Presidential election? What are mechanisms to strengthen self-government and democracy in light of the Citizens United decision?
