Quick, easy way to prevent religious superpacs from taking over: No $$.

If you would like a quick, easy, and meaningful way to fight back, drop this link into a browser. It's a fast letter form telling the new congress not to allow religious non-profits to get the right to operate as political superpacs.

Since non=profits get away wthout paying taxes, and avoid reporting their finances, they should not be allowed to funnel international dark money into our elections. It's called the Johnson Amendment, and the GOP wants to repeal it, pronto.

This form will automatically send the letter to your reps with just a zip code: NO MONEY.
It's from my own secular coalition and it took me 30 seconds.

Pass it along!

If they don't hear from us, we don't exist.
