As you are aware, media reports have confirmed that the Clinton Foundation accepted donations from foreign governments and other foreign entities during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State. I write on behalf of the 500,000 members of Citizens United nationwide who are concerned that these donations open the door to conflicts of interests that […]
We all know that you can’t shout “fire” in a crowded theater. The Supreme Court has said as much. That hasn’t stopped Hillary Clinton and the liberal media from doing just that in response to the landmark Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. FEC. The case, which has been settled law for more than […]
As the April 6 editorial “Political speech or corruption?” argued, it’s easier and easier in this post-Citizens United world for big campaign donors to attempt to influence our elected officials or even effectively select each party’s nominee months before voters get to weigh in. While we should not rush to judge Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), […]
As Congress jetted off to yet another recess, many liberals caught the first plane out of town. Here in Washington, DC the preferred airport of most Members of Congress is Ronald Reagan National Airport. Located on the banks of the Potomac it’s the fastest way out of town and back to their home districts. The […]
When comparing the potential Republican and Democrat fields for president in 2016, two things in particular absolutely jump off the page. First, the staggering discrepancy in ages when you survey the two lists is startling. For the Democrats, however, age is not the only major problem facing their presidential prospects for both today and 2020. […]
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (“RFRA”) signed into law by Governor Mike Pence is hardly new legislation. It’s modeled on a federal law that was enacted in 1993. The public outcry Indiana’s new law has inspired is as misleading as it is misguided. In 1993 then-Congressman Charles Schumer sponsored legislation to apply a higher standard […]
This week marked the infamous five year anniversary of Obamacare, the most detrimental piece of legislation enacted by the Obama Administration to this day. It’s hard to believe that health care in the United States, once the envy of the world, has now been converted into an unfavorable and flawed system, affecting every household in […]
Citizens United and Congressman Jeff Duncan are excited to team up in Greenville, South Carolina, for the next exciting grassroots event: the South Carolina Freedom Summit on May 9. The South Carolina Freedom Summit, taking place at the beautiful Peace Center in Greenville, will be a day for conservative activists to gather, rally, and listen […]
They’ve been involved with questionable donors since the 1990s. As I read the recent reports about the Clinton Foundation’s acceptance of contributions from foreign governments, I couldn’t help but think about the past. More specifically, I thought of my time as chief investigator for U.S. House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight in the 1990s. […]
This year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is being held this week and once again my organization, Citizens United, the nation’s premier conservative filmmaker, will be hosting the CPAC Theater and Film Festival throughout the weekend. We will be kicking things off on Thursday with an event featuring Dr. Ben Carson, giving activists both a […]
It is my honor to partner with Breitbart News Network, and Breitbart executives Stephen K. Bannon and Larry Solov, to present the Second Annual Andrew Breitbart Defender of the First Amendment Award at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Last year, we bestowed the inaugural award to The Great One–conservative radio host Mark Levin. […]
Obama’s erratic quest to find a legacy to leave behind has reached a new low last week. His decision to begin talks with Cuba and normalize full diplomatic relations after 50 years is not only unprecedented, but extremely dangerous. Obama traded three Cuban spies for American Alan Gross who had been held captive in Cuba […]
