The Clean Money and Fair Elections Act of 2006 will go to the Assembly Floor for a vote next week. Our grass-roots lobbying efforts have made a difference so far, and we must keep flooding legislators’ offices with letters of support to ensure that the bill makes it through this next important step!
There is no question that the undue influence of big corporate money in politics is standing in the way of real progressive change in California. Clean Money will go a long way toward fixing this broken system. It would provide for public financing of campaigns, so that those who are elected are truly accountable to the people, not the wealthy private interests who can afford to bankroll elections.
It is groundbreaking legislation for California and it needs our support. Please send a letter today to your representative in the California Assembly!
