A new message from your friends at People For the American Way.

***********************
Recent reporting by People For the American Way shows that in the decade
since the Supreme Court handed a win to corporate interests in Citizens
United v. FEC, outside spending in our elections has increased 435%. Ever
since the Supreme Court delivered this misguided ruling, we have worked
together to advocate for common sense reforms to ensure that our
government works for the people, not for special interests.

Today, we are hitting a crucial milestone in this fight – the Democracy
For All Amendment, which would amend the constitution to permit Congress
and the states to set reasonable campaign finance rules is having its
first ever committee hearing in the House of Representatives!

Help us get to 50,000 signatures by the end of the day -- we only have
12,000 to go!

hearing!>>

Under Citizens United, big spenders are deciding the policy priorities and
direction on core issues that impact real people. From regulating the
pharmaceutical industry to mitigating the climate change crisis and
addressing the scourge of gun violence, we need to push for the real
structural changes in the Democracy For All Amendment. Our democracy is at
stake.

We can finally pass this amendment to take back our democracy -- an
amendment that reflects the clear will of the American people -- but
Congress needs to keep hearing from us and now is a critical moment.

[ [link removed] ]Tell Congress it’s time for them to support the Democracy For all
Amendment and end unlimited spending in our elections>>

This development on the Hill reflects the enormous support that exists for
a constitutional amendment on the state and local level. To date, 20
states and over 800 towns and cities have officially gone on record in
support of a constitutional amendment to get money out of politics.

Thank you for your advocacy-- we’ll keep you updated about how it goes!
