To: The New Hampshire State Senate
Thank Senator Prescott: Elections Are Not for Sale
We, the people of New Hampshire, understand that our elections are not for sale.
We stand united with Senator Prescott in supporting S.B. 307. S.B. 307 creates a committee to review and support a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.

Why is this important?
The Citizens United U.S. Supreme Court ruling struck down restrictions on corporate and union spending in elections. The court enabled an explosion of election spending, often from secret sources.
In the 2012 New Hampshire gubernatorial race, outside groups spent $19 million - almost 5 times what the candidates spent themselves.
Americans of all political backgrounds are outraged. In New Hampshire, 72% of residents oppose Citizens United (81% Democrats, 70% Independents, and 64% Republicans).
SB 307 is about taking power away from outside influences to decide our political leaders and giving it back to the people of New Hampshire to whom it rightfully belongs. With our democracy in crisis, now is the time to act.
Senator Prescott is a key vote to ensuring the passage of SB 307 and has expressed his inclination to support it.
Sign the petition and thank Senator Prescott for his support and urge him to vote yes on SB 307.
