This is a trend that continues repeating itself in elections across the country. Powerful special interests use their piles of money to fund campaigns and support Super PACs for politicians that will bow to them and work in their favor. They use their money to hire armies of lobbyists that swarm Capitol Hill. They use their money to put the government on their side, all so they can make even bigger piles of money.
But we’ve got a powerful tool on our side too: a grassroots movement. In the long run, to make our country work not just for a thin slice at the tippy-top but for everyone, we’ve got to overturn Citizens United and enact sweeping anti-corruption legislation (yes, I’ve got a plan for that).
But for now, we’ve got to shore up our defenses against Super PAC spending and anything else the far right throws at us. Together, we’ll keep working to stop big money from drowning out the voices of working families. But first, we need to secure the resources we need to fight back and win re-election.
Not everyone who reads this note will be able to chip in, and that’s okay. But if you are in the position to make a donation tonight, it would be a huge help.
Thanks for being a part of this,
