NEW: Dems Slam Doherty of Citizens United Contribution

The Rhode Island Democratic Party today called on Republican Congressional candidate Brendan Doherty to explain his acceptance of a $10,000 campaign contribution from Citizens United.

“The Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United does nothing but enlarge the voice of corporate America and give the special interests in Washington even more political power,” said Bill Fischer, spokesperson for the RI Democratic Party. “Mr. Doherty needs to explain why he thinks the Citizens United ruling is good for our country and why special interests should be permitted to continue spending millions of dollars to secretly influence elections.”

Fisher continued: “While Democrats in Washington are fighting for legislation that will at least disclose the big money influences fueling Super PAC expenditures, Republicans in Congress are standing with Citizens United to block transparency - the very Republicans Brendan Doherty will stand with if elected to Congress.”
