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?

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
