PFAW Member,
The momentum for supporting the Democracy For All Amendment continues to grow. An increasing number of members of Congress are coming forward in support of the amendment -- but we need to keep urging those who remain silent!
This constitutional amendment would reverse the disastrous Citizens United ruling (and related cases) that have allowed a flood of secret money from corporations and ultra-wealthy families into our elections. Their influx of cash has given them an outsized influence on our elected officials, who now often do what is in their best interest, and not that of a large majority of Americans, like you and me.
The amendment would allow Congress and the states to set commonsense rules for the raising and spending of money in our elections, and to distinguish in doing so between people and corporations. The measure provides the important clarification that nothing in the amendment should be construed to abridge the freedom of the press. The amendment also rejects the current Supreme Court’s misguided interpretation that the only basis for campaign finance regulation is to address corruption in the form of quid pro quo bribery.
Together with your help we can continuing building on the groundswell of momentum that has gotten us to this point -- help restore the voice of countless people across the country and urge your representative to support this important measure.
Thank you,
-- Zach, PFAW
