[SIGN NOW: Congress must put an end to Big Money’s grip on our democracy >>]( {NAME}, fourteen years ago the 5-4 Citizens United ruling by the Supreme Court opened the floodgates for unrestricted Big Money spending in our elections. And right now, we’re seeing the consequences: Corporations, special interest groups, and some of the wealthiest people in the country are gearing up to spend billions of dollars to influence the 2024 elections. When they get this kind of power over our elections, we all pay the price – with decaying infrastructure, inaction on guns and climate, and tax giveaways to the ultra-rich. But {NAME}, it doesn’t have to be this way. Congress can overturn the disastrous Citizens United decision and pass simple reforms like the Freedom to Vote Act and the DISCLOSE Act, which would limit Big Money’s influence in our democracy and empower everyday Americans to have a stronger say. [If you believe, like we do, that government should be of, by, and for the people – then please join us in calling on Congress to END the Citizens United era.]( [ADD YOUR NAME]( 2024 will likely be the most expensive election in history, with spending expected to top $10.2 billion. [1] That’s because the Citizens United decision has not just allowed, but encouraged, the wealthy and powerful to buy access to politicians and contribute unrestricted sums of money – effectively drowning out the voices of everyday Americans. {NAME}, this is NOT how our democracy is supposed to work. We the People should call the shots when it comes to the issues that impact our everyday lives, not a shadowy network of wealthy special interests. We must urge Congress to overturn Citizens United vs. FEC and pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the DISCLOSE Act. These common sense changes would help shine a light on secret political spending, improve our campaign finance rules, and establish small-dollar citizen funded elections – giving ordinary Americans a greater say in our democracy.

Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia. Thank you for your support for all we do!
