Since 2010, politics in America has changed.
The US Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision allowed corporations and outside groups to spend unlimited amounts of money to influence elections.
It has increasingly made non-local politics into a game played only by the wealthy, or by people with a wealthy corporation in their corner. A new proposal for a constitutional referendum in North Carolina aims to change that.
It has been all but ignored by the media. But if passed, it would dramatically change politics in our state. Here’s how.
