Citizens United gave corporations—but not for-profit corporate boards—the authority to spend in candidate elections. But those boards immediately started spending anyway, improperly handing U.S. citizens' constitutional rights over to large shareholders and foreign nationals. A new [Center for American Progress report]( shows how it could cost them. Join CAP for a virtual discussion with The Hon. Shana M. Broussard, commissioner of the Federal Election Commission; Sarah Haan, Professor of Law, Washington and Lee University School of Law; and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), with introductory remarks from Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI).
