Say NO to special interest giveaways
Pass a clean continuing resolution to fund the government, without kickbacks for campaign donors or provisions that make it even easier for special interests to buy influence.
Why is this important?
Congress is about to pass a government funding bill chock full of ideological riders and special interest favors that makes it even easier for wealthy donors to dominate our democracy.
It’s the result of backroom negotiations between lobbyists and lawmakers, using the upcoming must-pass budget bill as a political football, with the American people cut out of the equation.
We have until December 11 -- when the federal government’s current funding expires -- to get these riders out of the current budget bill and stop any more last-minute shenanigans.
Tell Congress to pass a clean bill to fund the government -- without riders that pay back donors or weaken our campaign finance rules.
