Congress: Repeal Obama's anti-voter finance ban!
Repeal Obama's ban on the public funding of presidential conventions.
Why is this important?
We've barely recovered from McCutcheon vs. FEC. We're still fighting Citizens United.
And now we have a new enemy: President Obama just signed a ban on the public funding of presidential conventions.
If you were looking for a way to increase the dependency of crooked politicians on mega-rich donors, you just got your wish. Obama's law just dismantled what was left of an alternative public financing model set up after Watergate specifically to combat the rich drowning out the poor, allowing taxpayers to chip in a bit each year to balance corporate spending.
If we let this go without a fight, we might as well give up the battle to reclaim our democracy now. Please, join us in calling on Congress to repeal this order, and stop the wholesale dismantling of campaign finance reform in the US!
