To: Hillary Clinton, presidential candidate
Sec. Clinton, get rid of that tainted money.
Senator Sanders pointed out during the November 14 Democratic candidates' debate that corporate money comes with obligations. We are worried about the fact that most of your career campaign contributions and the money donated to your foundation comes from large corporations.
If you want us to believe you support the 99% and will govern in our interest, give that money to charity. You can't just talk the talk, you have to walk the walk.

Why is this important?
As the Democratic primaries are showing with increasing insistence, it matters where you campaign money comes from. Large corporations do not give millions of dollars without expecting something in exchange.
We have also learned that corporate interests are at extreme variance with citizens' interests. There is no time during this cycle to clean up the campaign contributions system, so the candidates must demonstrate their integrity by refusing corporate money.
