JOHN,

This week’s Good Idea came from a constituent in Cranston: companies shouldn’t be allowed to sell our personal data without giving us a choice.

And she’s right. Every day, corporations profit off our most personal information — what we buy, where we go, and even what we search online — without our consent. It’s wrong, and it’s time we take back control.

These are exactly the kinds of fights I want to keep bringing to Congress. If I stay in this seat, I can keep pushing to make sure we protect people’s data, lower costs, and fight for common-sense solutions that actually make life better.

But I can’t do that without your help. I’m up against opponents who don’t want these fights — because they’d rather protect corporate profits than protect your privacy.

That’s why I’m asking: will you contribute $10 today to help me keep fighting for Good Ideas like this one in Congress?

Together, we can stand up to corporate interests, take back control of our personal information, and make sure voices like yours are heard in Washington.
