Daniel,
BREAKING NEWS: Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) just announced that Majority Leader Harry Reid scheduled a vote on the Disclose Act next week -- after PCCC members made hundreds of calls to Reid and other senators this week, urging a vote!
This is great momentum for our Take Back Democracy campaign. The Disclose Act is a first step toward reversing the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling. It would bring anonymous big-money donations out of the shadows.
We need to pressure senators to support this reform and build pressure for bigger reforms, like a constitutional amendment overturning Citizens United.
The Disclose Act came within one vote of passing in 2010, and a lot has happened since then -- including senators in both parties being attacked by anonymous big-money interests.
When you sign up for the Take Back Democracy campaign, we'll let you know how you can make a difference before next week's vote and how you can work with thousands of others to push bigger reforms.
See our 5-part Take Back Democracy plan here -- and sign up today.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
