MADISON - A Wisconsin group
protesting a landmark U.S. Supreme Court campaign finance
ruling will stop using the name "Citizens United"
in a petition protesting the decision after being asked by
that group not to.
Instead, the Wisconsin
Democracy Campaign will call its petition "United
Citizens Against Citizens United."
The group announced the
change on Thursday, just four days after receiving a letter
from a Citizens United attorney asking that the name on the
petition and Facebook page be changed.
The Democracy Campaign says
in a blog post that it doesn't believe there is a legitimate
trademark infringement case against using the name, but it
decided to change it to remove any questions about whether
the two groups are related.
