We have some concerning news. Recent estimates put 2017 corporate lobbying at a total of $535 million — but a new report by The Intercept shows that the real total might be more than double that number:

Using loopholes and different reporting mechanisms, business groups were able to obscure another $675 million in lobbying intended to undermine your voice in Washington. That’s not how our democracy is meant to operate.

There’s only one way to end this sabotage: end Citizens United, and ensure that every member of Congress refuses 100% of corporate PAC donations. That’s what we do, and that’s what every single other member can do too.

Help us show Ro's colleagues that they don’t have to pander to Walmart, Aetna, and Amazon. Contribute $3 to our campaign, and help us build a powerful national progressive movement:

People like you have made this all possible — we leave millions of dollars in corporate PAC donations on the table every year, and we’re proud of it.

But many of our opponents don’t. They’re more than willing to take donations from anti-Medicare for all, pro-Big Pharma, and pro-endless war organizations, and as long as they do, passing our progressive agenda is going to be that much harder.

We’re competing with big money from those massive corporations in this battle for the soul of our democracy. Will you chip in $3 — or whatever you can afford — to help us take Washington back for the people?

This is not supposed to be a democracy of the businesses, by the business, and for the businesses. We’re a democracy of the people, by the people, and for the people. And it’s about time we started acting like it.

In solidarity,

Team Ro
