Today marks two years since we lost a dear friend of mine, Andrew Breitbart. His presence at the upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference will be sorely missed, but he will be with so many of us in spirit. No matter how much time passes, his memory and his passion are still in our hearts and […]
I wanted to let you know about a very important issue that the Mainstream Media isn’t covering: the “Internet Freedom Act” introduced by Representative Marsha Blackburn (TN-07) this past Friday. Citizens United is supporting passage of the legislation that would bar the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from imposing expansive “Net Neutrality” rules and regulations on […]
My organization Citizens United, with over 500,000 grassroots members, is synonymous with defending free speech. The political establishment has always tried to protect the political class by silencing criticism through the force of law, but in 2010 we defeated them in front of the Supreme Court. We have a winning track record, which frightens the […]
On Tuesday it was announced that the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) had decided to allow the group American Atheists to have a booth at this year’s event, but nearly as soon as it was announced, CPAC officials pulled the invitation. Regardless, the original invitation was enough to spur prominent conservative Brent Bozell to pull […]

There is an important fight going on in our country today that is being under-reported by the media. Parents and activists are on the front lines every day fighting to save the quality of public education in this country; they are fighting to stop Common Core. It is disgraceful that the media isn’t doing more […]
Four years ago, the Supreme Court’s Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision remade the rules for how political campaigns are waged. Could a Citizens United v. Internal Revenue Service case be next? Yes, says David Bossie, the outspoken president of Citizens United — if the IRS enacts plans to restrict how certain tax-exempt nonprofit […]
Washington, DC — Citizens United filed comprehensive comments opposing the oppressive regulations proposed by President Obama’s Internal Revenue Service. You can view the full filing here. You can also view an outline of the filing here. “The ongoing IRS scandal first reported last year does not give President Obama’s IRS the authority to change the […]
Buried deep within Obamacare’s 2,801 pages, are provisions for a massive taxpayer-funded bailout of insurance companies. Specifically, Section 1341 creates a fund to cover more than $20 billion of losses insurance providers will suffer for covering people with specific high risk health problems, as required by Obamacare. This is a fee collected from insurers and […]
Yesterday marked the five year anniversary of President Obama’s federal stimulus, and I hate to say ‘I told you so,’ but it comes as no surprise to conservatives that it was a total failure. On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed the stimulus into law and promised it marked “the beginning of the end” of […]
Since 1917, Congress has asserted its constitutional authority to dictate just how America will finance its debt by statutorily limiting how much debt the Treasury Department can issue.
