Dear Friend,
We deserve a country where
our elected officials are not bought and paid
for by Big Business. But last
week's Supreme Court decision in the case
Citizens United vs. FEC overturned
over a century of precedent and opened
the floodgates for unlimited amounts
of corporate money to flow into our
political system. Shockingly, the court's
decision may even allow foreign
corporations and large multinationals to
manipulate our elections.
If we do nothing, this ruling has the potential
to undermine the very
foundation of our democracy.
Representative Alan
Grayson has been one the most forceful voices in
responding to this crisis.
He has introduced a number of bills as part of
a "Save Our Democracy"
initiative to blunt some of the worst implications
of the Supreme Court's
decision.
I signed a petition to President Obama and the Congressional
leadership
telling them they must enact Grayson's strong laws to save our
democracy
from the pernicious influence of corporate money. Please join me
