In March of last year, a new organization with the arguably misleading name of End Citizens United began bombarding progressive donors with high-pressure fundraising emails tailor made to exploit grassroots passions over the toxic influence of corporate and billionaire money on elections.

“Will you donate $3 or more to support our work toward reforming our campaign finance system and ultimately overturning Citizens United?” read one of the dozens of fundraising emails that has hit my inbox. End Citizens United is “dedicated to countering the disastrous effects of Citizens United and reforming our campaign finance system,” declares the group’s website.

But despite such lofty rhetoric, the group has done virtually nothing to actually promote a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, the 2010 Supreme Court ruling that deregulated political spending. Instead, the group is strictly a political action committee that has raised $6.8 million thanks to heavy spending on list rentals and fundraising overhead.
