An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Fight the Supreme Court's Party Spending Ruling — Pass Campaign Finance Reform Now

109 so far! Help us get to 250 signers!

The Supreme Court just gutted a 50-year-old campaign finance law, and I need you to do everything in your power to fight back. The 6-3 ruling in the Republican committees' case tears down coordinated spending limits that existed specifically to stop wealthy donors from routing unlimited money through parties to individual candidates. Justice Kagan is right — this ruling "ushers in untold harm." This isn't abstract. The RNC already has $125 million on hand, the NRCC $81 million, the NRSC $48 million. Those war chests can now be deployed in direct coordination with candidates, no ceiling. The individual contribution caps that voters rely on to limit corruption are effectively meaningless if parties can spend without limit on a candidate's behalf. This builds on Citizens United and pushes us further toward a system where elections are bought, not won. Congress has the power to respond — through legislation, through FEC reform, through public financing proposals. I want to see you introduce or co-sponsor every available vehicle to restore these protections. Don't wait for the next election cycle to prove how much damage this does.
