Friend,

Free and fair elections are the core of our democracy, and yet over the
years, we've seen our voices eclipsed by the powerful influence of
billionaire money in politics.

Billionaires spend millions to elect their handpicked candidates and
recall democratically elected leaders who have the courage to hold them
accountable. That undercuts our democracy.

Since the disastrous Citizens United decision, members of Congress are
even more dependent than before on billionaire money, ensuring that
billionaires continue to spend big on elections year in and year out. But
Congress can stop their unlimited influx of cash by ensuring they pay
their fair share in taxes.

[ [link removed] ]We cannot continue to allow billionaires to influence our politics with
an onslaught of money. Tell Congress to make billionaires pay what they
owe in taxes to limit their influence on our elections.

America now has more billionaires than at any time in history, all while
most Americans are struggling to make ends meet.

These billionaires and their corporations and dark money groups are
pouring millions of dollars into electing people who will protect their
profits over us, the people. In the 2020 election cycle alone,
anti-democratic vote buying totaled $1.2 billion.

It's time for billionaires to pay their fair share towards critical
investments in our future and stop rigging our elections and leaders in
their favor.

their influence on our elections.

We’re in this together -- thank you for taking on the billionaires.
