Pass Fair Elections Act Now -- Take Action here . . .

From Common Cause --

Fair Elections just passed in committee.

Now, help us bring it to the full House.


Take Action!

The Fair Elections Now Act cleared a major hurdle yesterday when it was passed by the House Administration Committee.

The Fair Elections Now Act (HR 6116/1826) would mitigate some of the damage done by the disastrous Citizens United decision, by allowing candidates for Congress to run competitive campaigns for office by relying on small contributions from back home. Candidates would collect donations of $100 or less from residents of their state, which would then be matched four-to-one with Fair Elections funds.

Fair Elections would be funded by the sale of unused broadcast spectrum, ensuring that in this time of debt and deficits, it wouldn't cost taxpayers a dime.


I strongly urge you and your colleagues in the House of Representatives to vote on the Fair Elections Now Act (HR 6116/1826) before Congress adjourns a few days from now.
