Co-sign the letter to STOP Citizens United [View all]

[Triana]

I received this link in an email from NC Senator Kay Hagan: http://www.citizens-against-citizens-united.com/

On investigation, this site's been up for a year and was also linked to from this article on DailyKOS back in January 2013: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/01/23/1181430/-MN-Sen-Sign-Al-Franken-s-D-Petition-To-Reverse-Citizens-United

The letter/petition reads:

Members of Congress:

Outside special interest spending in our elections with no disclosure has gotten out of hand. We, the undersigned believe we must fix our campaign finance system.

We urge you to:

Take immediate action to reverse the disastrous effects of Citizens United

Enact commonsense safeguards to shed light into the dark corners of special interest campaign money

Keep the power in elections where it belongs — with the American people

Signed,

Progressives United,
Sen. Mark Begich,
Sen. Sherrod Brown,
Sen. Al Franken,
Sen. Kay Hagan,
Sen. Joe Manchin,
Sen. Tom Udall,
Rep. Gary Peters,
Rep. Bruce Braley, and
(Your Name Here)

It needs millions more than the 127,000 or so co-signatures it currently has to have any effect at all. Co-signing the thing may not help. But it can't hurt.
