Call to stop big money

At the presidential level, the existing public financing program is woefully outdated and, unless fixed, will likely be bypassed by the major party candidates in 2008. Your call will let your senators know that you're concerned about the role of big money in politics.

You can reach your senators at 202-224-3121.

Here's a sample message you can leave:
"Hi my name is _____ and I'm calling from ________. I'm calling to ask you to co-sponsor the Fair Elections Now Act (S. 1285) and the Presidential Public Financing Act (S. 436), which would provide candidates who agree to spending limits and reject special interest money with public financing for their races."

Once you've made the call please take a moment to fill out the form below.

Tell Congress: No NRA loopholes to DISCLOSE Act

Congress has created a loophole in the new DISCLOSE Act that would exempt the NRA and its corporate backers from disclosure requirements.

This is outrageous. Real reform means that all organizations abide by the same disclosure rules.

Sign our petition to Congress below, and tell them to shoot down the NRA loophole.

Petition Text

Dear legislator,

The DISCLOSE Act is intended to serve as a good stopgap measure to the recent Supreme Court decision by forcing greater disclosure of corporate contributions to political campaigns.

Allowing a special exemption for just one very powerful interest group that creates a loophole for the very corporate money that is the central concern of this bill is outrageous.

Please close this loophole and strengthen the bill by including the Shareholder Protection Act which will increase corporations' accountability to their shareholders.

Sincerely,
