John, this is our moment:

The U.S. Senate just announced that its first piece of legislation will be
its version of HR1, the For The People Act.^1 This is huge news and would
be the most comprehensive anti-corruption reform passed since Watergate.

We’re launching a national campaign called Put Democracy First to ensure
the bill becomes law. To kick it off, we’re sending thousands of messages
to the new Congress to demand they pass the For the People Act: [ [link removed] ]Send a
message in support of the bill right now.

If passed, this bill would implement a large portion of the policies we've
been pushing for in the American Anti-Corruption Act, our model
legislation designed in 2012.

The House and Senate will introduce a sweeping upgrade of election,
ethics, campaign finance and presidential powers laws. It would:

* Dramatically increase election security and voter participation.
* End gerrymandering in Congress.
* Strengthen ethics and financial conflict of interest laws for the
President, Congress, and Supreme Court.
* End secret donations to politicians and rein in Super PACs.
* Close lobbyist loopholes.
* Dramatically decrease politicians’ dependence on special interest
lobbyist money.
* ….and much, much more.^2

78% of Americans — of all political stripes — feel politicians don’t care
about them and their needs.^3 Anti-corruption is the unifying force in
America right now, and we can show that to Congress by flooding their
inboxes with messages from conservatives, progressives, and everyone in
between. [ [link removed] ]Take two minutes right now to demand Congress pass the For the
People Act by voting YES when it comes to the floor.

This is the greatest opportunity for lasting, federal reform in
generations, and it's only here because of our movement's hard work: By
fighting to pass many of these laws city-by-city, state-by-state, the
anti-corruption movement has paved the way for this federal law over the
past decade.

Now it’s on us to make sure this law passes. If Congress knows that their
constituents overwhelmingly support the For the People Act, they’ll be
forced to either pass it or face the political consequences. [ [link removed] ]Send a
message now.

A new chapter in our nation’s history is unfolding, and it could be one of
the most important moments for our movement. Thank you for being a part of
this journey.
