Help Pass Major Campaign Finance Reform

Read Article Special interests pump millions of dollars into elections, giving them more influence over our political system than the rest of us. Until we fix our broken campaign finance laws, these special interests will block real change on issue after issue.

Especially as our nation faces an unprecedented economic crisis, now is the worst time for our politicians to spend their time begging for campaign contributions from the very special interests that got us into this mess.

"We need a clean system of campaign financing—one where politicians pay attention to regular people, the very small-dollar donors who made such an impact in 2008. Reforming the system will never be Congress's first priority until a grassroots movement gives politicians a choice: You can have our money or special interest money, but not both. Now is the time to push for this change.

Follow the instructions to let your representative know you support this. A change for better.
