Flavia Colgan at HuffPo: "make Clean Elections reform part of the Dem ..."
Edited on Fri Dec-02-05 02:30 PM by understandinglife
I have to admit, I was somewhat surprised at how many positive comments I received over email and on this blog about the idea for Democrats to back bold campaign finance reform (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/flavia-colgan/time-for-dems-to-come-cle_b_11474.html) as a response to the growing number of corruption scandals coming out of DC.

The number one question I got in the hundreds of emails I received was, "What can I do to help make this happen?"

Well, it's time to get out of our PJs, and keeping our opinions to ourselves on the comment threads, and take this one to the streets! Here are some suggestions on what you can do to make Clean Elections reform part of the Democratic campaign message.

First, join a group around you that is fighting for Clean Elections. There are groups in every state, with organizers in most counties. Visit Public Campaign at www.publiccampaign.org and click on "State Action" to find out who is organizing in your state. Give that group a call and see if they need some help. I bet they do.

Just wanted to be sure all the DU Election Reform activist see this. You may want to post comments at HuffPo.


Peace.
