You’ve seen what Citizens United has done to federal politics. Now, imagine if we let the same thing happen at the state and local level.
Imagine unrelenting attack ads accusing your state treasurer of being a socialist — or accusing your state legislator of being a secret Muslim — or of your city councilor waging a war against religious freedom.
Right-wing groups are dismantling campaign finance laws across the country to allow unlimited corporate spending up and down the ballot in all 50 states.
We’ve got to fight back. Last week, we launched our campaign to get attorneys general across the country to stand up for common sense campaign finance laws.
The response has been amazing. So far, over 75,000 DFA members have joined our campaign.
All you need to do is look at Montana to see how far right-wing groups are willing to go to undo common sense campaign finance laws — and exactly how your Attorney General can stop them.
Montana’s ban on corporate spending in political campaigns was challenged in court — and Montana Attorney General Steve Bullock stood up to defend it. He fought hard to keep it on the books and took his case all the way to the Montana Supreme Court.
He won.
That is the sort of leadership we need from AGs today. Please contribute now to fuel the campaign.
Thank you for everything you do.
