They argue it is a form of speech.

Further Explanation:

Citizen United Vs. federal election commission holds a special place in American history. This case was seen as a landmark case in history of Supreme court of United States. This case was in concern to campaign Finance. The verdict of the Supreme court said that Free Speech clause from the first amendment stops the government from restricting expenditures which are for the political campaigns by corporations which included nonprofit corporations and labor unions also. This case came into limelight when Citizens United which was a conservative non profit organization aired and advertised a short film which was critical part of the campaigning of Presidential post candidate, ‘Hillary Clinton’ in year 2008. This was seen as the violation of Bipartisan Campaign reform act of 2002. This act was made to restrict and corporation or Labor Union to campaign for any political party within 30 days of primary elections. Because the institute for justice and the American civil liberties union argued that donating to campaigns is a form of Protected Speech. As if these Unions will get money in order to campaign for any political institution then for sure they will use protected speech and may speak only in favor of that political party.
