If you care about energy independence, health care, education, the environment, the economy, then you should care about public funding. Because there is one underlying reason why our representatives in Congress can't move off the dime to solve these problems, and that reason is money. Big money that buys access and influence in Washington, dominates our policies and corrupts our politics. The only way to get big money out of politics is to cut politicians' dependence on big campaign contributions. It all comes down to one issue: public funding!

What It Will Take

Public funding has to become the law of the land. There is already legislation working its way through the Senate and the Congress, where it has bi-partisan support. But putting this legislation over the top is going to take grassroots pressure — meaning, it's going to take you. You and thousands like you whose special interest is a better America. Together we can raise our voices in a roar loud enough to be heard — and felt — all the way to Washington.

Public Funding Works

Public funding is not some experimental theory. Laws very much like the one we're supporting nationally are already proving themselves in Maine, Arizona, Connecticut and in cities from New York to Portland, Oregon. Not to mention, public funding in some form is used in virtually every other democracy on the planet. To find out more, click here. http://youstreet.org/states
