electing a Congress committed to fundamental reform by 2016MAYDAY PAC
Thank you for helping us reach our goal, and for your continued support.
In May and June of 2014, the Mayday Political Action Committee launched a bold experiment. We appealed to the citizens directly to raise the money we need to get a Congress committed to fundamental reform.
That experiment was a wild success.
Now comes the tough part - fighting to elect representatives who will fix the broken system of fundraising that is corrupting Congress.
We are using the power of citizen-funded big money to fight the big money of crony capitalists and special interests on both the left and the right.
Ironic? Yes. Embrace the irony.
We need a Congress that will fundamentally change the way elections are funded, and through that change, reduce the stranglehold of big money in our politics.
The reforms we support eliminate the conflict of interest between Congress's duty to serve the people and incentive to serve the funders — by making the citizens the funders. They will provide for truly Citizen-Funded Campaigns.
Through citizen-funded campaigns we can get Congress working for us again, without restricting anyone's right to free speech. (Or, for that matter, expensive speech.) We would not need to replace the sitting Justices of the Supreme Court or amend the Constitution… at least not to get the basic machinery of government working again.
We want you to join our nationwide community and take action locally.
