I'm worried about the Citizens United decision as well, or more specifically the attempts to eventually get it overturned or modified in such a way as to weaken protection for free speech.

These guys are going to spend a billion

No one, not even "a group of 26 billionaires" is going to spend a billion dollars on independent expenditures for a political campaign. Partially because no one wants to spend that much money, and partially because it would be well past the point of diminishing returns (partially even negative returns, considering the annoyance factor that so many political ads pushing the same message would produce).
