Team,
Thirteen years ago, the Supreme Court opened the floodgates to unlimited, untraceable money in Citizens United. Ever since then, dark money has been flooding into politics and warping our democracy. Americans sense that something in their government is really broken, and they’re right.
As I’ve taken on fights with the big corporate interests trying to capture the government for their own benefit, I’ve made sure this campaign is a true grassroots movement. We don’t accept any funding from corporate PACs – not a single penny.
But it’s clear that I’m a target for the dark money interests I’ve spent years exposing. That’s why I’m asking if you can donate before our end-of-quarter deadline, so we can fight back against the special interests trying to take hold of our country.
As you know, our fundraising numbers go public after these Federal Election Commission quarterly deadlines. People are keeping a close eye on us to see the power of this campaign.
This quarter, I want to send them a message: This people-powered movement is not slowing down any time soon.
But I need your help to do it. If you can, chip in $5 to help us reach our goal for the quarter so I can continue my work in the Senate to get corrosive dark money out of politics.
You deserve a government that is working for you.
Thank you,
Sheldon Whitehouse
