73% of Texans want corporate and union money out of our elections, but money from corporate coffers is flooding our state.

95% of Texans want limits on big money campaign contributions, but Texas is one of the last states with NO limits on contributions to state legislators.

83% of Texans want to know how their legislators voted while in office, but to this day our representatives are not required to record their votes.

Don't let corporate and special interest money dominate Texas elections. Demand reform!

You can take three simple steps right now to clean things up. It's as easy as Wash, Rinse, Repeat . . .

Hopefully something will come of this or a similar effort, but I'm not optomistic

2. Hey reprehensor I know these folks
Campaigns for People, and they do great work. Don't count them out. No one thought they would have any impact in the 2003 legislative session
and they had a very good success in HB1606
