Hi my Care2 friends,
A quick but important favor... I’m a Founder of a new campaign to get politicians to represent us and not just big money lobbyists. What's happening this year with super PACs and $50,000-a-plate fundraisers is sickening and it must stop.
I have committed to getting my friends to sign their names as “Citizen Co-Sponsors” of a sweeping reform proposal that will end all this legalized bribery.
Can you take a minute to add your name as a Co-sponsor?
Just click the link below and you will find all of the info you need to make a decision whether to join me in taking back our government.

The solution is simple. No campaign donations from corporations or people. Basically, that optional dollar that one can select to fund campaigns by checking the box on one's tax form. Make it mandatory and then whatever amount is available...split it between the top five parties. If the capitalists, i.e. Republicans and Democrats, really are so much better than the Greens, the Justice party, and others, then let them prove it on an even playing field.

Tamara, I put that link in my browser and the Care2 search and it brought me back to this page. I think this is a wonderful goal and would sign to support this noble effort.

Signed as Co-sponsor. Good for you Tamara. I will pass the link around to the sign up site. It is a shame that we must sign such a thing in the first place.

Hi Tamara, I like your campaign and I agree with it but sorry to say I am not a U.S.Citizen so it would be of no use signing it even though I would be pleased to do so.

The US has the best government that money can buy. I agree with you that big money control of our politics needs to end. Thanks Tamara!
