Friend,
It’s time to confront what has corrupted our politics and institutions — big money in politics. Money has stalled action on health care costs, prescription drug prices, climate and much more.
Political campaigns have simply become too expensive, the lobbyists and corporations have too much power, and the game has been rigged against everyday Iowans. Let me assure you: I'll make sure everyone has a seat at the table when it comes to finding solutions to our biggest problems, not big corporations and special interests.
Candidates and elected officials are spending more of their time talking to lobbyists and corporate donors rather than listening to their constituents. That’s why as a U.S. Senator I will be a leading voice for serious campaign finance reform.
If you are ready to support REAL campaign finance reform, sign the petition today and let me know that you’re with me >>
Hear me out — I wouldn’t be fighting this fight if I weren’t hearing from family, friends, and supporters who asked me to get in the game and run for office. It’s not an easy game to play when you’re up against the D.C establishment, big corporations, and special interests fueling Joni Ernst's campaign.
That’s why I’ll prohibit Special Interest and Corporate Money from Influencing our Elections when elected to the Senate — this money is destroying our democratic institutions and has undermined the public’s faith in our elected officials. If you are with me, join us today.
Grassroots donors like you are empowering my this campaign — that’s why I have pledged to refuse corporate PAC money now, and after I’m a Senator. It’s why I’ve called for an end to Leadership PACs that allow corporations to influence candidates through bundling of corporate money for leaders in D.C. — not regular Iowans.
And it’s no secret that we must overturn Citizens United. I will support a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United which has resulted in a flood of almost unlimited money from multi-millionaires who influence our elections in near-total secrecy.
I went on to grow a successful small business and have been blessed with the ability to invest my own money into charities I care about and into my own campaign.
So, today I’d like you to help me take the fight to the lobbyists, corporations and special interests. I am pledging to personally 2x match every donation to my campaign between now and the end of the month. That means if you donate $10 today, I will contribute another $20 to the campaign.
Every $10 I raise from you is $10 I won’t be taking from lobbyists, Leadership PACs and corporate donors. Every $20 I match is money that will be going towards building a campaign to expand Medicare, confront climate change and look out for working families, not the special interests.
I hear you — I am on the trail every day hearing about how Joni Ernst is failing Iowans. I’ll keep listening, but I could use your help today.
Thanks for your support,
Eddie
