he national movement to get big money out of our elections suffered a major blow this month with pro-corporate, right-wing Republicans winning control of the Senate and other victories in the most expensive midterm elections ever. But we’re vowing not to rest, or even slow down, in our march towards amending the Constitution to save our democracy and overturn decisions like Citizens United. Are you with us? Join PFAW and Campaign for America’s Future in our message to the 114th Congress telling them to amend the constitution to get big money OUT>> Let them know you’re still here and you won’t rest until Government By the PEOPLE is restored! Just look at how far we’ve come: In this outgoing Congress we were able to get the Democracy For All Amendment all the way to the Senate floor -- and with majority support. 16 states and nearly 600 municipalities and counties have passed resolutions calling for the amendment. Polls and ballot initiatives continue to confirm that an overwhelming majority of Americans think money in politics is a major problem and most support a constitutional amendment to fix it. To put it another way, we lost one battle but we’re winning the war. AND we already have commitments from our allies on Capitol Hill to reintroduce the Democracy For All Amendment in the new Congress… AND we’re pushing forward with the grassroots effort to get even more states on the record calling for an amendment -- in 2015, targets include New Hampshire, New York and Washington. Join PFAW and Campaign For America’s Future by signing our joint petition right now telling Congress to amend the Constitution, get big money out of our elections and restore Government By the PEOPLE>> After you sign, please spread the word! Thank you for everything you do.
