Citizens United?!?!?!?

One year ago President Obama in his State of the Union address made mention of what he felt was a grievous error on the side of the Supreme Court in their Citizens United Ruling.  Justice Alito took issue with Obama's stance muttering "not true" under his breath when the President spoke of how the ruling would essentially open elections up to the highest corporate bidder and remove the true electorate (you) from the process.  


I have attached a graph, courtesy of Opensecrets.org, of the top contributors and the political parties to which they donated in the last election cycle.  You decide.
