Please join us for a special “Letter to the Editor” writing workshop with our own Marie HenselderKimmel – Tuesday, January 16 at 7:30 PM. Marie will guide a hands-on discussion to learn and practice writing “Letters to the Editor” in support of a solution to the problem of money in politics.
Why now? January marks the 14th anniversary of the Citizens United decision by the Supreme Court that reshaped our political system by allowing unrestrained and unlimited spending in our campaigns and elections. This decision, as well as several before and after it, have positioned the Supreme Court as decision-maker-in-chief when it comes to money in politics. And they have gotten it consistently wrong.
This has led to a toxic influx of campaign spending in America from an elite donor class and foreign government interests. This year, national election spending is set to break a new record – $16 Billion.
Americans are angry and frustrated. American Promise offers a solution – the For Our Freedom Amendment. We know the only enduring path to regulating political spending is to amend the Constitution to give states and Congress the power to set reasonable limits – just like they did before that power was taken away by the Court.
Join us – It’s easy, it’s fun, and you’ll be part of the solution!
