Dear friend -
Great news: we’re seeing a tremendous response to our campaign, just in the past few days since our last message. In fact, it’s been one of our strongest responses ever. It’s clear that people are ready to stand up and fight to take our democracy back from the corporations.
There’s also been a ton of press coverage on all the money spent in the recent election. And that coverage gives us an important opening to make our case for a constitutional amendment, using letters-to-the-editor to reach policy-makers and the public.
Can you take 5 minutes right now, to send a letter to your newspaper? We’ve made it easy by providing sample letters and an online tool to help you send one to your paper, here:
Send a quick letter to the editor now.
Letters-to-the-editor are really powerful: they’re widely read, especially by elected officials, who pay extra close attention to get a feel for what the voters are thinking about.
After the election, you can bet they’re watching to see if we’re going to roll over and accept the latest power grab by corporations, which just spent hundreds of millions of dollars to influence the last election, with the Supreme Court’s blessing. Or, if we’re standing and fighting.
Which will you do today?
Click here to stand up and be heard.
Our constitutional amendment will make it clear once and for all that free speech and other constitutional rights are for people, not corporations.
Your letter will help tell the world that the fight for the future of our democracy is on.
Thanks again for standing with us.
Sincerely,
- John
