Sirota: New Poll majority -- Public Campaign Financing. Dem Strategists--

***are you paying attention?***

"According to a brand new bipartisan poll released by the watchdog group Public Campaign Action Fund, 75% of voters support a voluntary system of publicly financed election campaigns - that includes 80% of Democrats, 78% of Independents, and 65% of Republicans. The poll shows this support is being fueled by the explosive corruption scandals that have rocked Capitol Hill. And even more interestingly, the poll shows that candidates who pledge to support a public financing system get a significant political boost over candidates who do not.

These poll numbers - which have been corroborated by earlier polls - are not just being put out into the ether. They connect to direct action we can all take. Public Campaign Action Fund is now launching an effort to get every candidate running for office to sign an official pledge to support public financing of elections, as well as other critical clean government reforms. Get in touch with your Members of Congress and your congressional candidates today, and demand they sign their names to this important pledge. This is a very real way we - the vast majority of Americans - can begin to take our democracy back from the Big Money interests that have performed a hostile takeover of our government."
