Mr. Robert Reinsel
3203 Armory Court
Fairfax, VA 22030-1911
Dear Mr. Reinsel,
Thank you for contacting me with respect to your concern with the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision on Citizens United versus the Federal Election Commission. I appreciate your concern on this issue. Your views are important to me.
I share your concern that this ruling was an unprecedented change in Constitutional law, bestowing all of the guaranteed individual rights to corporations. Giving corporations an unfettered ability to fund and influence various election campaigns is a dangerous policy, and anathema to our nation's principle of one individual - one vote. I will keep your concerns with this ruling in mind as the Congress deliberates opportunities to address this ruling.
Once again, thank you for expressing your concern on this very important issue. I appreciate hearing from you. For more information on my views on other issues, please feel free to visit my website at http://connolly.house.gov. I also encourage you to visit the website to sign up for my e-newsletter.
Sincerely,
Gerald E. Connolly
Member of Congress
11th District, Virginia
