To all US candidates for national office:

7 out of 10 Americans believe the current flood of big money into our political system is corrupting our democracy. As American citizens concerned with the record amount of money, much of it anonymous, being spent by Super PACs and special interests to influence our elections, we believe the next Congress should study and propose a Constitutional Amendment designed to reduce the influence of money in politics. We call on you to tell the voters clearly and unequivocally whether you would support Congress taking such action should you be elected.

Join the movement to Amend big money out of politics
