In January 2010, the Supreme
Court handed down their landmark Citizens United ruling, dramatically
altering campaign finance in America. The decision allowed corporations
and labor unions to spend unlimited money directly on politics and it
created an explosion in so-called 501(c)(4)s, nonprofits named for where
they fall in the tax code. As these organizations have become some of
the biggest spenders in politics today, new questions are arising in
D.C. and around the country about how -- and whether -- money in
politics should be reined in. Four years after Citizens United: how we
pay for politics and the state of campaign finance reform.
