John, it’s easy to look at the news and feel overwhelmed. Hopeless, even. But we will not — we cannot — sit idly by and watch things happen.

That’s why, instead of complaining about Citizens United, we came up with an actual solution to the problem of millionaires and billionaires pouring cash into our elections.

And this Tuesday, October 14, we’re having a free online information session about our plan! Center for American Progress is hosting former Senator Jon Tester and our Director, former Montana Commissioner of Political Practices Jeff Mangan. You can join us in-person or virtually — RSVP today:

The Montana Plan is a first-of-its-kind ballot initiative to protect our elections and strengthen our democracy. We have a lot going for us:

• 200+ years of Supreme Court precedent in corporate law
• 100+ years of Montana Democrats, Republicans, and independents voting overwhelmingly (more than 70%) to limit corporations
• Bipartisan endorsements from key Montanans, including former Sen. Jon Tester and former Gov. Marc Racicot
• Momentum, and a lot of it, as we bring our plan from university lecture halls to Montanans’ doorsteps

We’re not trying to sell you on a pipe dream. We’re inviting you to learn about what we’re doing, and join a team that has a real plan to take on undue corporate influence in our politics. Please, save your spot for our free event today:

Thank you, and we’ll see you on Tuesday,

Transparent Election Initiative
