Friend,
Foreign money has no place in our elections. Unfortunately, the same
harmful decision that opened the floodgates for dark money to enter our
elections, Citizens United v. FEC, allows American-registered corporations
that are foreign-owned, foreign-controlled, and/or foreign-influenced to
spend in our elections.
[ [link removed] ]Sign on to our petition calling on Congress to pass the Get Foreign
Money Out of U.S. Elections Act now to stop foreign actors from
contributing to elections! >>
Congressman Jamie Raskin and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse introduced this
legislation that would prohibit corporations with significant foreign
ownership from contributing to our elections.
Foreign business owners and investors should not have the ability to pay
to influence our elections.
The Get Foreign Money Out of U.S. Elections Act prevents companies with at
least 1% ownership from a foreign national or at least 5% ownership from
multiple foreign individuals from spending in U.S. elections.
This common-sense legislation is incredibly popular. Recent polling from
Data for Progress demonstrates that voters from across the political
spectrum support this proposal—with nearly three-in-four voters supporting
the proposal to ban companies with foreign ownership at the 1% or 5%
threshold from spending in our elections.^[1]
[ [link removed] ]Join us in demanding that Congress pass the Get Foreign Money Out of
U.S. Elections Act now!>>
We must act to secure our elections from foreign influence. Thank you for
your advocacy on this issue.
