David Bossie, president of conservative advocacy group Citizens United, says Republicans shouldn’t change their conservative stripes just because of the GOP’s election defeats. The idea that they should is “an overreaction, a misinterpretation,” he tells Newsmax TV’s Kathleen Walter. “It is a potential death knell for the Republican Party, a permanent minority status in America.” […]
Citizens United‘s latest cinematic political commentary for this election year of 2012 is The Hope and the Change. Available on DVD and also appearing on various cable and broadcast television channels in the weeks before the November 6 presidential election (check schedule here), the film is highly relevant viewing for all voters contemplating their choice […]
On Sunday, FOX News re-broadcast Sean Hannity’s one-hour special about “The Hope and the Change.” The documentary is about independent and Reagan Democrat voters who cast their ballots for Barack Obama in 2008 and will not do so in 2012. These voters feel betrayed by Obama’s false promises of hope and lofty rhetoric. When it […]
Citizens United is joining the last-days ad-buying ahead of the election, buying a short $120,000 flight to promote the anti-President Obama movie it produced on CNN and MSNBC. Read more at Politico here.
Late night comics and the liberal press delight in either vilifying or parodying undecided voters, dismissing them as “boneheads” and “idiots,” or questioning their actual relevance in the presidential election. David Bossie — who spent a year interviewing undecided and disenchanted voters for his new documentary film “The Hope and the Change” — will have […]
Republicans have struggled in this election with two powerful and competing impulses: to hammer a president they dislike intensely with a strong indictment of his record, but to be restrained enough to win over independent voters, who generally like Mr. Obama. Those who commissioned Mr. Luntz’s research, according to people with firsthand knowledge of their […]
Jim Leach’s critique of the Citizens United court decision leaves me with the impression that he has read neither the decision nor the First Amendment (“Democracy for sale,” Op-ed, Oct. 14). Contrary to Leach’s claims, the court did not rule in Citizens United that corporations are people. It noted that corporations are associations of people. […]
Stephen K. Bannon’s Citizens United documentary, “The Hope and the Change,” follows 40 Democrats and Independents who voted for Obama in 2008 but will not vote for him again in 2012. While the interview subjects are initially “euphoric” about electing the first black president and describe Obama with words like “savior,” “charismatic” and “wondrous,” they […]
The Hope and the Change is a head nodding, “amen, brother” inducing, victory fist-pumping (at least, that was my response) documentary following the journey of 40 Democrats and Independents that voted for Obama in 2008. The movie begins with footage of election night – the teary, awe-filled crowd – practically worshipping Obama. It documents the […]
As I watched the spontaneous interviews, I was struck by how earnestly these folks believed in President Obama, for example, his campaign promise to cut the deficit in half, which of course never happened. These good people described in earnest their utter disappointment and confusion when shortly after taking office, instead of working to improve […]
David Bossie, president and CEO of Citizens United, delivered an address on the importance of free speech in politics at the Yale Political Union Tuesday evening, evoking distinctly different reactions from the parties on the left and the right. In his talk on the topic “Citizens United is Good for Democracy,” Bossie discussed his belief […]
Asked how he and fellow prominent conservatives would regard an Obama victory that came without a popular-vote majority, Citizens United President David Bossie did not mince words. “President Obama would be a lame-duck president on Day One of his second term,” he said. “He would not have any mandate to initiate policy, and power would […]
