***OFFICIAL BALLOT***

Dear MoveOn member,

We've got a big decision to make together.

Over the last several days, thousands of us have been sifting through ideas for how to end corporate
corruption of our democracy. The top ideas are combined into the slate
below.

Now we have to decide whether MoveOn should endorse this slate—and run a major grassroots campaign
demanding that Congress pass this anti-corporate-corruption agenda into
law.

If 2/3 of MoveOn members vote yes, we'll spend the next several months challenging candidates for Congress
to pledge their support—and work to elect those who promise to go to DC
and fight for this agenda. And of course
we'll keep pushing after the election to make sure they keep their
promise. If we don't reach the 66% mark, we'll focus on other projects.

Here's the winning slate:

Overturn Citizens United:
Amend the Constitution to protect America from unlimited
corporate spending on our elections by overturning the Supreme
Court's decision giving corporations the same First Amendment rights as
people.
Fair Elections Now:
Pass the Fair Elections Now Act, providing public financing to
candidates who are supported by small donors so they
can compete with corporate-backed and self-funded candidates.
Lobbyist Reform Act: Pass legislation to end the overwhelming influence of corporate lobbyists by: prohibiting
individuals from switching from corporate lobbying to government
service, or vice-versa, within a 5-year period; stopping
corporate lobbyists from giving gifts and providing free travel to
government officials; and posting
online the attendees and content of all
meetings between lobbyists and government officials.

So, should MoveOn endorse this anti-corruption agenda, and work to get candidates and elected
officials to support it?

Yes, I vote to endorse the slate and take on corporate corruption

No, we shouldn't endorse the slate

Voting closes tomorrow at 9 pm EST.

This slate was put together by tens of thousands of MoveOn members and other progressive Americans. Working with The Other
98%—a new
online movement to make democracy work for the 98% of us who DON'T have
corporate lobbyists representing us in DC—we feel we've been able to
capture the combined spirit and frustration in
the final ideas above. (These three planks
actually combine the top 6 ideas, after more than 1.5 million votes were

cast. For example, the Lobbyist Reform Act combines three top-ranking
ideas.)

If you vote yes, we'll add your personal endorsement to thousands of others, and make sure your representatives in Congress know you back
these solutions.

So please vote now.

This is an important choice. Reining in the influence of companies like BP and Goldman Sachs to
put the people back in charge of our government is probably the most
ambitious goal
MoveOn has ever tackled. It'll take a major effort—electing true
progressives and pushing legislation—over years—to
win
these solutions. But unless we start right away, we might never get
there.

Please take a moment now to vote. Voting ends at 9 pm EST on Wednesday.

Thanks for all you do,

–Ilyse, Eli, Milan, Lenore, and the rest of the team

P.S. If you'd like to vote "yes" on the slate without having your support passed on to your members of Congress, you can click here

. And again, here's

the link to vote "no."

Want to support our work? We're entirely funded by our 5 million members—no
corporate contributions, no big checks from CEOs. And
our
tiny staff ensures that small contributions go a long
way.

Comment by Galen on July 5, 2010 at 11:28am: I'm not very familiar with #1, so I'd have to research that some more before forming an opinion. However, #2 and #3 sound like damn good ideas to me. Hell, they sound like common sense solutions!

Comment by Gaytor on July 5, 2010 at 8:59pm: #1 would simply require a rewrite to the 14th. Since slavery isn't going to be restarted, we could do so quite easily.

#2 remove all outside financing and go to public only

#3 I can't afford a lobbyist so why do I have to compete with a corp that can afford as many as they want? My voice is worth less? No lobbyists. Letters and phone calls only. Kill the back rooms.

But I wouldn't do it through MoveOn. They were against Petraus under Bush until Obama endorsed him. Double standards? Their credibility is questionable and their handing out of email addresses is annoying. Link to MoveOn flip flop breif story.

Comment by willailla on July 6, 2010 at 12:21pm: All the suggestions are good, but how do you make Congress vote against their own self-interest?

Comment by Luciano G. Gayton on July 6, 2010 at 1:21pm: Overturn Citizens United:

corporate spending on our elections by overturning the Supreme

When I was young we had America. Now we have have west china. This decision giving corporations the same First Amendment rights as people was not put to the vote. Now we have robots shooting people in Afghanistan. Take granny's electric wheel chair put a track drive on it. Mount a fifty caliber on it. Give it GPS, stereo eyes, ears, and artificial intelligence. Add three model helicopters with GPS, eyes and ears for triangulating a valley. Now you can get rid of snipers who don't kill children, grannies or families. In the year 2014 they set to decide who to shoot.
I know we can replace the police to cut the steroid and psychotropic drug cost.

Whoa, whoa, WHOA, Gaytor, let's back that truck up! The 14th's Equal Protection Clause is the legal and constitutional foundation for equality and civil rights in America! Anything that requires changing it, isn't worth it, IMO. The 14th is one that we need to leave ALONE.
