"So while you assert that 20 percent is not control, if a foreign entity owns 20 percent of a company, 31 of 32 States who define what control is do."

"My office has received 220 letters just on the Citizens United decision, and it might surprise Mr. Smith that by last night's count, 204 of those 220 Minnesotans were opposed to the decision."

"I introduced a bill called the American Elections Act. It said that if a foreign national has a controlling share of a company, that company should not be spending unlimited amounts in America."

"Now, you just said the law prohibits foreign nationals from participating in giving, but it does not."
