John,

I’ve never accepted a single penny from corporate PACs, and I never will.

Before I tell you more about why I refuse to accept corporate PAC money, will you consider making a grassroots contribution to our campaign today?

As I’ve traveled across Upstate New York, one thing has become very clear to me: you can draw a direct line from (1) the challenges people are facing in their everyday lives to (2) the corrupting influence of special interest money in our politics.

Paying too much for gas? Follow the money from Big Oil to the politicians they support and the laws they propose to cover up price gouging.

Paying too much for prescription drugs? Follow the money from Big Pharma to the politicians they fund and the laws they propose to keep prices high.

Paying too much for cable service? Follow the money from Big Cable to the politicians they support and the laws they propose to limit competition.

Too many politicians are working for the special interests. I’m going to Congress to work for you instead.

That’s why I’m not accepting any money from corporate PACs. I’m relying on grassroots support from folks like you, John, to power our campaign.

Will you chip in $5 or whatever you can today to join our people-powered campaign?

With gratitude & high hopes,

Josh
