Dear John:

In my book, Democracy in Chains, I reveal how the corporate Right has waged a 60-year stealth campaign to reverse-engineer America back to the days when the robber barons reigned supreme and rigged the rules to work in their favor.

Their plan? To suppress majority rule through a multi-prong strategy that hamstrings unions, suppresses voting, blocks action on climate change, privatizes schools, Medicare, and Social Security, and transforms our legal and judicial systems to lock in their power permanently.

As I’ve traveled the country, it’s become evermore clear to me that so much of the fight to stop this assault on our democracy is to expose the hidden hand of moneyed interests who, under the guise of “liberty,” are bent upon recreating the Gilded Age legal framework in which billionaires and multinational corporations can do as they please. 

As we head into the pivotal 2020 elections and the inevitable tsunami of dark money that will come with it, we need CMD’s prize-winning investigations now more than ever!

But CMD can’t do it without help from people like you! So please give generously and know that your tax-deductible gift today will help us to continue calling out the corporations calling the shots. And this year CMD has received a $50,000 matching grant, so every dollar you give will go twice as far!

Together, we can break the chains and stand up for an America built on equal justice and opportunity for all instead of power and control by the privileged few.

Thank you for your kind support and wishing you all the best this holiday season,

Nancy MacLean
