John, we need your attention.
Our friends over at Americans for Tax Fairness just released a shocking new report that has exposed the true level of influence billionaires have over our political system.
They found that just 150 billionaire families have already spent almost $1.4 billion on the 2024 elections ― that’s more than billionaires spent over the entire course of the 2020 elections.
Nearly two-thirds of this billionaire money has been contributed to extreme right-wing candidates who support tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy — while neglecting the rights and economic security of everyday Americans.
This is blatant corruption, and shows that billionaires are buying our elections. In the long term, this will lead to even further economic inequity and perpetuate a tax system rigged in favor of the wealthy. Extreme Republican candidates are being bought by billionaires, and if this continues, we could see major attacks on voting rights, opposition to workers' rights and fair wages, and drastic cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
We cannot allow billionaires to buy our democracy. Please, sign on and urge Congress to overturn Citizens United and pass the Billionaire Minimum Income Tax . [[link removed]]

These two critical actions could help us stop this trend of corruption and prevent economic inequity from increasing even further:
1.
Congress
must
overturn
Citizens
United:
It’s
time
to
pass
a
constitutional
amendment
and
end
unlimited
corporate
&
billionaire
spending
in
our
elections.
2.
Congress
must
pass
the
Billionaire
Minimum
Income
Tax
(BMIT):
This
would
ensure
the
wealthiest
Americans
pay
at
least
a
25%
tax
rate
on
their
total
income,
including
unrealized
capital
gains.
The
BMIT
would
raise
hundreds
of
billions
of
dollars
for
public
investments
and
reduce
the
amount
of
excess
wealth
used
to
influence
our
elections.
We need to make sure Congress takes action immediately. Billionaires are tightening their grip on our political system every day, and the impact of their corruption could have devastating consequences for years to come. Acting now is essential to protecting the integrity of our democratic processes.
Sign on now and demand that Congress overturn Citizens United and pass the Billionaire Minimum Income Tax to defend our democracy from billionaire influence. [[link removed]]
