Tell the candidates to put voters - not wealthy donors - first

The 2008 presidential candidates are caught up in a money chase, trying to win donations from the rich and powerful. Where does that leave the rest of us? The Fair Elections Now Act would let candidates focus on voters' concerns instead of fundraising. And with big money out of the picture, all candidates could compete on a level playing field.

On June 30th, the candidates reported record-breaking contributions from well-connected power players. Take a moment today to tell them it's time to Stop the Money Chase!

Dear (recipient name),

As a voter who's watching the 2008 presidential field closely, I'm asking you to take the lead in calling for Fair Elections.

I bet you're already sick of fundraising.  I know I'm sick of hearing about it.  The presidential campaign really is a money chase, and it means that wealthy individuals, certain corporations, and special interest groups wind up having undue influence on our democracy.

I know that candidates who don't do enough fundraising wind up at a serious disadvantage. No wonder there's pressure to spend campaign time talking to donors - instead of hearing the concerns of people like me. But I also know that fair elections legislation, like the Fair Elections Now Act, could make a real difference by reducing your reliance on fundraising and private donors.

Fair Elections will add more voices to our political system, level the playing field, and put voters' interests ahead of big-time donors. I hope you'll rise to this challenge: start supporting Fair Elections so that we can stop the money chase.
