Sign Petition Petition: Fair Elections Now!
Common Cause / Common Cause Education Fund Petition
Fair Elections Now!
896 signatures
About this Petition:
The breadth of the Roberts Court's ruling in the Citizens United case is stunning. It declares -- with no factual record before it to review -- that corporate political spending does not corrupt elected officials, that influencing lawmakers is not corruption, and that the appearance of influence will not cause the public to lose faith in our democracy. This is judicial activism at its worst.
Justice John Paul Stevens gets it right when he says in his dissent that, "At bottom, the Court's opinion is thus a rejection of the common sense of the American people, who have recognized a need to prevent corporations from undermining self government since the founding, and who have fought against the distinctive corrupting potential of corporate electioneering since the days of Theodore Roosevelt."
It's time for swift and bold action. The best and most comprehensive option available to change the rules of the game in Washington is the Fair Elections Now Act. By allowing candidates to run highly competitive races that rely on small donor contributions and limited public funding, it puts voters -- not corporations -- in the driver's seat.
We cannot -- we will not -- allow control of our democracy to be handed over to wealthy special interests. Help us implement Fair Elections without delay.

Here is a young couple in India that is being hounded by their community because the bride happens to be an ex-sex worker. Please do take a minute to send them a brief email -- it would be a big moral boost for them. Thanks.
This great group of Americans is proudly representing America's greatest true expression of patriotism and love of country-dissension. Dissent and keep the nation strong and free.
From Ludwig Appeltans-Israel is dropping propaganda leaflets on Gaza tonight asking people to inform on 'terrorists' digging tunnels and warning this activity will only lead to more bloodshed. there is an email address on the leaflet if YOU would like to tell israel what YOU think about the wall, the blockade, apartheid, war crimes, etc hel...ptogaza2010@gmail.com from Abu Yazan in Gaza he says feel free to say what you want.
World attention must be focused on the Palestinians who are being isolated and starved.
Let us finally also bring up the chemtrails that are being spewed out of planes above our heads in every major city in America. There is a war on Americans, be it chemical, financial or moral, we are being systematically enslaved. I have joined, I have donated my services and will also recruit, and write letters to officials. I know this is going to be a huge fight, because the real power is the military complex. The arms merchants and central banks and the pharmaceutical companies. They lord over our health and our food supply and this is what we are really fighting. It is much bigger than stopping one or two wars, it is about stopping ALL war.
