Want to End Giveaways to the Wealthy? Ask the Governor to Sign AB 583!

The current plan to give $700 billion away to Wall Street - the same ones who got us into this mess - is a sign we need Clean Money public financing of campaigns more than ever.  Finance, insurance, and real estate firms have poured over $5 billion in contributions into politicians' hands since 1990.  They've already been paid back by special interest giveaways many times over, and now they're asking for over $2,000 from every man, woman, and child in the country.

Clean Money is the Only Way to Stop this Madness From Happening Again and Again!

Urge Governor Schwarzenegger to sign AB 583, the California Fair Elections Act, to start ending special interest dominance of politics by sending him a fax right now:

cacleanmoney :: Want to End Giveaways to the Wealthy? Ask the Governor to Sign AB 583!
By providing for Clean Money for Secretary of State candidates, AB 583 would let California show the rest of the nation that there's a much better way, not to mention making sure that the elected official responsible for the very integrity of our elections doesn't have to fundraise.

Once you've sent your fax, please make a call to the Governor as well.  It's quick because AB 583 has already gotten so many calls that they had to make it one of only five bills (out of 875!) that have their own automated response option.

CALL 916-445-2841 NOW!
You'll get an automated system when you call so won't need to even talk to anybody. Do the following:

> Press 1 for English
> Press 2 to "Voice your opinion on legislation"
> Press 5 "about AB 583, regarding the Political Reform Act"
> Press 1 "to register your support"

The line may be busy at first because so many people are calling.  Keep trying until you get through - you should after a few tries.

The Governor said it best:  Special interests have a stranglehold on Sacramento.  Here's how it works.  Money comes in.  Favors go out.  The people lose..

Remind the Governor of his chance to change that by sending the fax and making the call:
