John –

For the first time in 100 years, the U.S. House of Representatives has
failed – over, and over, and over again – to elect a leader over the past
two days. It's yet another sign that our current government is broken and
ineffective.

Most people already think the government is corrupt and not working for
them. So it makes perfect sense that the first order of business for this
new House is *checks notes* gutting the Office of Congressional Ethics…

The Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) provides independent nonpartisan
oversight and accountability. It was established to create transparency
about Congressional ethics probes and has investigated the actions of
countless members from both sides of the aisle.

Defunding and dismantling one of the only checks on government corruption
is the wrong way to go. So we’re speaking up to save it. [ [link removed] ]Will you send
a message to your member of Congress right now asking them to protect this
bipartisan committee?

The OCE is a vital anti-corruption safeguard. We have a right to know
which members of Congress are being investigated for corruption. But if
the OCE can't do its job, we might be left in the dark.

There’s already a dangerous lack of confidence and faith in our
government. We need more transparency, not less.

The House is set to vote on this, and other changes, as soon as members
select a new Speaker. [ [link removed] ]We don’t have any time to waste, send your
message right now to save the Office of Congressional Ethics so we can
continue to root out corruption in Congress.

Thanks for speaking out,

Sue Fothergill
