John, 

A dark money group is trying to undo the transparency law our members just
worked to pass in New Jersey. 

The group, Americans for Prosperity, is funded by the billionaire Koch
brothers, and it just filed a lawsuit to stop the "End Dark Money" law
from going into effect. If successful, it will keep big-money donors
hidden ahead of New Jersey's upcoming elections.

and influencing their politicians. Add your name now to tell the Koch
brothers to drop their dark money lawsuit.

The "End Dark Money" law stops secret money, letting voters see who's
trying to influence election outcomes and who a candidate might be
beholden to after they're elected. The law was spearheaded by the
Represent Central New Jersey chapter and passed with bipartisan support in
the New Jersey legislature. But the Koch brothers' dark money group
doesn't want transparency—so they're trying to undo it.

We've seen this happen before: This time last year in Michigan, the state
Chamber of Commerce sued to stop voters from being able to vote on an
anti-gerrymandering reform. We fought back and stopped them. In Maine,
politicians tried to undo Ranked Choice Voting after it was passed by the
voters. But volunteers led the campaign for a People's Veto, and the
voters approved Ranked Choice Voting—for a second time—last June.

Every time our movement wins and upends the corrupt status quo,
politicians and big-money interests will step in and try to stop us. But
if we fight back, we can beat them.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name to the petition and show the Koch brothers that the
American people are outraged by their attempt to hide the truth from
voters.

It's up to all of us to defend our movement's wins—and with your help, we
will.
