Last month, the Supreme Court opened the floodgates to out-of-control corporate spending in elections.
The best and most comprehensive way to fix Washington is the Fair Elections Now Act. By allowing candidates to depend entirely on small dollar contributions of under $100 and limited public funds, it puts voters -- not corporations -- in control.
Did you know that a typical politician already spends four hours per day fundraising? Instead of focusing on their constituents and the important issues of the day, our representatives spend their time raising money from wealthy donors and lobbyists.
Stop the money train to Washington! Ask your representatives to cosponsor H.R. 1826, the Fair Elections Now Act and put elections back in the voters' hands, not corporations.
Dear [Representative]:
I strongly urge you to co-sponsor and support the Fair Elections Now Act (HR 1826) to create a citizen-funded election system for congressional races.
This critical reform would allow candidates to run for office on a blend of small donations and public funds, modeled off of the successful citizen-funded election systems in states like Arizona, Connecticut, and Maine.

It's time to end the campaign money chase and really change how Washington works. Please sign on as a co-sponsor of the Fair Elections Now Act.
