$1 Billion | That’s how much anti-Obama Super PACs and other outside groups plan to spend to try to place Mitt Romney in the White House this November. That includes about $400 million from organizations connected to the billionaire energy and chemical barons Charles and David Koch. If elected, Romney promised to appoint justices who could permanently entrench corporations and wealthy individuals’ power to engage in similar attempts at election buying. All four of the justices Romney named as his models for future appointments voted with the majority in the election-buying decision Citizens United.
