Who is Citizens United? Depends on who you ask...

So while researching the FEC is as painfully boring as waiting for a class to finish a standardized test, Citizens United is a little more interesting, mainly because of its partisan nature.

There are two things to examine:
1. What is CU's mission?
2. Who is David Bossie (CU's President and Chairman of the Board)

You don't have to do much researching to conclude that it's the Conservative's answer to Michael Moore.  For what it's worth, they both have imdb profiles:

Michael Moore's imdb profile
David Bossie's imdb profile

One look at Bossie's "headshot" on imdb and he looks like Salesman of the Month at your local car dealership.  Here is Citizens United homepage:

What CU is

And here is why people criticize them:

Liberals Hatin' on CU

It is worth noting that the criticism is partisan (Liberals hate them - Conservatives defend them).  And when you read the article you should probably do a quick search on the Koch Brothers, who they are linked to.

Or you could read this. You're welcome.

(Disclaimer: There are a handful of spelling/grammatical errors in the above article.  Apparently the desire to bash the Koch Brothers and CU overwhelmed the desire spell-check and proofread.)
