Kay Bailey Hutchison sits on the Senate Rules Committee that has held a hearing
on this matter.  Please contact her in support of the public elections act.  

This is big stuff and could do more than anything to change the fundamental
flaws of politics and its tie to money and the financial influence of policy
makers.  

Please take time to do something to help this fight.  

Sincerely,
Craig Miller

Dear Craig,

Ordinary voters are being drowned out by corporate and wealthy special interests
that co-opt elected officials and raid the federal treasury for earmarks and tax
breaks.  The result is policy for Big Pharma, Big Oil and Wall Street.  But we
can change all that. 
Senators Durbin and Specter are moving the Fair Elections Now Act in the Senate.
 

Tomorrow, June 20, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. EST, the Senate Rules Committee will hold
the first congressional hearing in more than a decade on publicly funded
elections to consider the Fair Elections Now Act. It is important that your
senators hear from you. Tell them that you support the Fair Elections Now Act: a
voluntary system of publicly funded congressional elections.

This bold and important bill will transform elections by: 

 - Breaking the nexus between big money and our elected officials that drains
taxpayer money from the Treasury.  
 - Leveling the playing field - allowing good candidates of modest means to run
to serve in the Senate.
 - Making it possible for candidates to run and win on the quality of their
ideas, instead of the size of their campaign war chests.  
 - Freeing candidates from the money chase so that they can focus on talking
with and working for voters, not dialing for dollars and cocktails with
lobbyists. 

Learn more and take action to support the Fair Elections Now Act and create
voter-owned elections:
