To: The Oregon State House and The Oregon State Senate
Tell the Oregon legislature: Pass campaign finance limits now!
The Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision was a mistake. But we can challenge it. Big money is an ever-more corrosive influence. It's time to put voters back in charge. It's time to pass tough campaign finance limits stop the wealthy and the powerful special interests from running roughshod in our democracy.
Why is this important?
Everyone's voice should be heard in our democracy – but that’s not happening right now. The Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision was a terrible mistake. It's allowing big corporate donors to drown out the voice of everyday voters. Like you, I'm sick and tired of these billionaires running roughshod in our elections.
But what can we do about it?
Here's what: Oregon can lead the way. As Secretary of State, I’ll fight to reform Oregon’s campaign finance system. We can pass tough campaign finance limits that directly challenge Citizens United.
Time and again, Oregon has led the nation in a progressive direction -- women's suffrage, popular election of Senators, public beaches, the bottle bill, and more. It's time to do it again.
Let’s take a stand in Oregon: Corporations are not people and money is not speech!
