Weekly Address: President Obama Castigates GOP Leadership for Blocking Fixes for the Citizens United Decision
WASHINGTON – In this week’s address, President Obama called out the Republican leadership in Congress for defending the entrenched special interests and the status quo.  After the Supreme Court overturned decades of law and precedent in the Citizens United decision, the administration tried to fix the new loopholes in the campaign finance system with a common sense law.  This law would require public disclosure
of who funds political ads and it would restrict foreign controlled corporations from spending to influence elections.  But, the GOP leadership has blocked a vote on the law in the Senate in hopes that the special interests will reward them by funding attack ads against their opponents.
The audio and video of the address will be available online at www.whitehouse.gov at 6:00 am ET, Saturday, September 18, 2010.
 
Remarks of President Barack Obama

Washington, DC
 
Back in January, in my State of the Union Address, I warned of the danger posed by a Supreme Court ruling called Citizens United. This decision overturned decades of law and precedent.  It gave the special interests the power to spend without limit – and without public disclosure – to run ads in order to influence elections. 
 
Now, as an election approaches, it’s not just a theory.  We can see for ourselves how destructive to our democracy this can become.  We see it in the flood of deceptive attack ads sponsored by special interests using front groups with misleading names.  We don’t know who’s behind these ads or who’s paying for them.  Even foreign-controlled corporations seeking to influence our democracy are able to spend freely in
order to swing an election toward a candidate they prefer. 
 
We’ve tried to fix this with a new law – one that would simply require that you say who you are and who’s paying for your ad.  This way, voters are able to make an informed judgment about a group’s motivations.  Anyone running these ads would have to stand by their claims.  And foreign-controlled corporations would be restricted from spending money to influence elections, just as they were before the Supreme Court
opened up this loophole.
 
This is common sense.  In fact, this is the kind of proposal that Democrats and Republicans have agreed on for decades.  Yet, the Republican leaders in Congress have so far said “no.” They’ve blocked this bill from even coming up for a vote in the Senate.  It’s politics at its worst.  But it’s not hard to understand why. 
 
Over the past two years, we have fought back against the entrenched special interests – weakening their hold on the levers of power in Washington.  We have taken a stand against the worst abuses of the financial industry and health insurance companies.  We’ve rolled back tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas.  And we’ve restored enforcement of common sense rules to protect clean air and clean water.
 We have refused to go along with business as usual. 
 
Now, the special interests want to take Congress back, and return to the days when lobbyists wrote the laws.  And a partisan minority in Congress is hoping their defense of these special interests and the status quo will be rewarded with a flood of negative ads against their opponents.  It’s a power grab, pure and simple.  They’re hoping they can ride this wave of unchecked influence all the way to victory. 
 
What is clear is that Congress has a responsibility to act.  But the truth is, any law will come too late to prevent the damage that has already been done this election season.  That is why, any time you see an attack ad by one of these shadowy groups, you should ask yourself, who is paying for this ad? Is it the health insurance lobby? The oil industry?  The credit card companies? 
 
But more than that, you can make sure that the tens of millions of dollars spent on misleading ads do not drown out your voice.  Because no matter how many ads they run – no matter how many elections they try to buy – the power to determine the fate of this country doesn’t lie in their hands.  It lies in yours.  It’s up to all of us to defend that most basic American principle of a government of, by, and for the people.
 What’s at stake is not just an election.  It’s our democracy itself. 
 
Thank you.

The Supreme Court of the United States is
the highest court in the United States and the chief
authority in the judicial branch, one of three branches of
the United States federal government. The Supreme
Court hears appeals from decisions of lower federal
courts and state supreme courts, and it resolves issues
of constitutional and federal law. It stands as the
ultimate authority in constitutional interpretation, and
its decisions can be changed only by a constitutional

“Back in January, in my [Presidential] State of the Union Address, I warned of

the danger posed by a Supreme Court ruling called Citizens United. “
The President of the United States is the head of state and
head of government of the United States. The president leads the
executive branch of the federal government and is the
commander-in-chief of the United States armed forces.
Article II of the U.S. Constitution vests the executive power of the United
States in the president and charges him with the execution of federal
law, alongside the responsibility of appointing federal executive,
diplomatic, regulatory, and judicial officers, and concluding treaties with
foreign powers, with the advice and consent of the Senate. The
president is further empowered to grant federal pardons and reprieves,
and to convene and adjourn either or both houses of Congress under
extraordinary circumstances.[3] Since the founding of the United States,
the power of the president and the federal government
have substantially grown[4] and each modern president, despite
possessing no formal legislative powers beyond signing or vetoing
congressionally passed bills, is largely responsible for dictating the
legislative agenda of his party and the foreign and domestic policy of the
United States.[5] The president is frequently described as the most
powerful person in the world.[6][7][8][9][10][11]
Citizens United is a conservative non-profit organization. Its
president and chairman is David Bossie.
Citizens United describes its mission as being dedicated to restoring
the United States government to "citizens' control" and to "assert
American values of limited government, freedom of enterprise,
strong families, and national sovereignty and security." To fulfill this
mission, Citizens United undertakes various educational projects,
including television advertising and feature-length documentaries.[1]
Citizens United was founded in 1988 by conservative activist
Floyd Brown.[2] David Bossie has been its president since 2000. Its
offices are on Pennsylvania Avenue in the Capitol Hill area of
Washington, D.C. The associated Citizens United Foundation is a tax-
exempt 501(c)(4) organization.
 John Sidney McCain III (born August 29, 1936) is
the senior United States Senator from Arizona.
He was the Republican nominee for president in
the 2008 United States election.

 Advertising is a form of communication intended to persuade an audience
(viewers, readers or listeners) to purchase or take some action upon
products, ideals, or services. It includes the name of a product or service
and how that product or service could benefit the consumer, to persuade a
target market to purchase or to consume that particular brand. These
brands are usually paid for or identified through sponsors and viewed via
various media. Advertising can also serve to communicate an idea to a
large number of people in an attempt to convince them to take a certain
action.
