Support campaign finance reform now

Echoing the Citizens United case, the Supreme Court’s recent decision in McCutcheon v. FEC promises to flood our democratic process with even more money. Sign the petition below to demand meaningful campaign finance reform now.

All Members of both political parties:

We have passed laws to reform the campaign finance system in the past, and we can do so again.

Whether it’s comprehensive campaign finance reform or a constitutional amendment, I urge you to take immediate action to protect the voices of all Americans by reversing the effects of Citizens United and McCutcheon.

Our democracy is not for sale.

WE can never give up the fight to overturn the recent Supreme Court decisions on campaign finance. This country doesn't belong to the rich and powerful, it belongs to all of us. We must keep up the pressure on all our elected officials at the local, state and national levels to pass campaign finance reform or a constitutional amendment. While you may be tired of this issue, tired of the petitions and e mails, and may even be thinking the wealthy and corporate America are to powerful to win this fight we can not give up. Please sign this latest petition....

The Supreme Court’s new, horrifying McCutcheon decision—so soon after Citizens United—promises to flood our democratic process with even more money.

The Koch Brothers can now write a check to every Republican in the country. And that’s really scary.

But we need to remember that we have passed laws to reform the campaign finance system in the past, and we can do it again. Our work begins today.

Join Daily Kos and a coalition of Democratic members of Congress to sign the petition “our democracy is not for sale”—and pledge to support campaign finance reform now.

Keep fighting,
