Submitted by Monica Rober on Fri, 01/22/2010 - 15:57

Campaign strategists Mark McKinnon and Steve Hildebrand say the Citizens United ruling by the Supreme Court is a huge win for special interests.

Don’t think of a quick fix that gives you a sound-bite. Address the real problem and give elections back to the people."Click here to read the full article in The Daily Beast.
