ALL CAMPAIGN FINANCE BILLS DIED THIS SESSION. SEND YOUR LEGISLATOR AN EMAIL SAYING “I SUPPORT GETTING BIG MONEY OUT OF POLITICS”
It’s time for a change.
Our legislators are happy with a situation which allows them access to unlimited campaign contributions and the freedom to spend the money how they want. Voters disagree and are disappointed that key campaign finance legislation wasn't even introduced or voted on during this year's General Assembly.
Until we change the way our government works, it’s almost impossible for us to seriously address other issues facing our society. Let's all take easy action by sending a message to our legislators. Tell them that you are disappointed that not one significant campaign finance bill passed. Worse, some of them didn't get a hearing or a vote!
RAISE YOUR VOICE BY SIGNING OUR GOOD GOVERNANCE PETITION
In anticipation of Democracy Day, let’s make noise and let our legislators know that we care about making government work for all citizens, not just wealthy donors.
Lets ask our legislators to support legislation which will guarantee voting rights, promote transparency and accountability in campaign financing and ethics.
Join us in raising our collective voices to call for a more representative government. How? Sign the petition and share it with your family, friends, and colleagues. We will deliver these petitions to your individual Senator/Delegate on Democracy Day.
We can only effectuate change if we work together.
