John,

There’s no denying it — our political system is broken and our democracy is at risk. But we see signs of hope — and a growing movement for change — all around us.

Poll after poll shows that Americans believe that restoring our democracy is one of the most urgent issues facing our country. People are tired of lobbyists and the big money special interests calling the shots. That’s why Issue One is helping to lead the charge to win game-changing political reforms that return government to the American people.

We are proud former members of Congress who’ve worked across the aisle to get things done. But the current state of our politics has us deeply concerned. Our democracy is in crisis, which is why we teamed up with Issue One as co-chairs of their ReFormers Caucus — the only group of former members of Congress, governors, and Cabinet officials from both parties advocating for solutions to fix our broken political system.

And because of your support, Issue One is beating the odds and achieving concrete improvements for our politics. Will you help us build on the progress we’ve made by donating to Issue One today? Together we can save our democracy and win more reforms in 2020.

This year alone, Issue One has scored major victories, including:

• Moving Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to approve $250 million in election security funding

• Helping create and extend the bipartisan Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress through the rest of the 116th Congress

• Shepherding 8 bipartisan bills in the House and Senate

• Recruiting over 200 former members of Congress, governors, and Cabinet officials to our ReFormers Caucus

• Recruiting 37 Republicans and Democrats to sponsor the Honest Ads Act

As co-chairs of Issue One’s ReFormers Caucus, we are proud to be a part of the amazing progress that Issue One has made. With your help, we can accomplish even more.

Moments like these only happen every generation or so, and we have a golden opportunity to usher in a new era of political reform. With your support, we can help save our democracy!

Thank you for all you do,

Ambassador Connie Morella (R-MD)
Ambassador Tim Roemer (D-IN)
