The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.

There's too many evil, greedy criminals taking over - get rid of the whole lot of them. The voting ballots
need to be changed too, because they are set up for crooked voting. One ballot for all, with all names on
it, no matter which party a person belong

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.

I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.

inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.

I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.

has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.

Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.

I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.

known what we've devolved into where lobbyists and big money drive our nation's agenda and actions
instead of 'the good of the people.'

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.

under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.

has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.

I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.

I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really

Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.

democracy.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.

Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.

disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.

political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.

prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.

“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.

prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really

Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of

under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.

I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”

The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.

The Federal Election Commission must stop the dark money polluting our elections and the so-called
“independent” spending by outside groups that is poisoning our political system. The FEC has authority
under existing law to require disclosure of election spending and to rigorously define “coordination” to
prevent millions of dollars of special interest spending by outside groups that is not really
“independent.” Do your duty and enforce the law.
Our American democracy depends on having well-informed voters, and your refusal to require
disclosure is undermining our representative democracy. Voters have a right to know who is funding
political campaigns – whether it is corporations, wealthy individuals or labor unions. The Supreme Court
has endorsed disclosure and it is unacceptable that the FEC is failing to restore transparency to political
campaigns.
I am tired of big-money special interests overwhelming our elections. Super PACs and other outside
groups are raising and spending unlimited sums, which reached more than $600 million dollars in 2014.
The rationale that allows this to continue is that the spending is somehow “independent.” But we know
that Super PACs and others have many ways to coordinate with candidate campaigns – leading to
inevitable corruption. FEC regulations need to rigorously define “coordination” to end the charade of
“independent” expenditures.
Fair and clean elections, determined by the votes of American citizens, should be at the center of our
democracy – not big money from secret sources. As long as dark money groups hide their funders and
outside special interest groups can spend unlimited amounts behind the mask of “independent”
spending, our democratic principles are at risk.
I urge you to restore transparency and enforce robust disclosure rules.
