PLEASE HELP THIS FILM GET MADE IN TIME!

PAY 2 PLAY: Democracy's High Stakes

Kickstarter fund drive: http://kck.st/cAOSkM

Hey DU'er's!

I am reaching out to you because you understand the importance of keeping our elections fair--especially in Ohio. We got so much support here for my film FREE FOR ALL! (http://www.freeforall.tv) about election theft in Ohio, I again made this film with you in mind.

I am in the home stretch of completing PAY 2 PLAY, my film exposing the corrupt power players behind Citizens United, which shows how taking back our elections from the highest bidder is actually possible.

I am asking you now to take a moment and offer a modest donation to help make this film happen and contribute to our Kickstarter campaign:

http://kck.st/cAOSkM

Not only are we pressed to inform the public where our media has failed us, but we have a rare chance at this moment to capture the impact of Citizens United. The controversial Supreme Court decision Citizens United ruled that corporations have all the rights as people to spend on elections, with none of the limitations. Americans across the political spectrum have decried this decision, and right now as "Big Money" is beginning to flood the process, we have plans to capture malfeasance in action.

We will not accept that our democracy has gone to the highest bidder. In making this film, we've documented political newcomers whose personal stories will inspire you, while their travails show everything that's wrong with our campaign process today. Beyond the campaign trail, our film will explore Citizens United--the extraordinary ruling as well as the group itself. And because we need solutions even more than muckraking, this film sets out to show Americans how to take back their democracy.

But we need your help to do this! And if you contribute through our Kickstarter campaign right now, you get cool stuff. (Did I mention this whole story is re-told around our funny reinvention of a classic board game?)

Your tax-deductible donation will be going SO MUCH FURTHER than the corporate money fueling toxic campaign ads and content-less coverage. We are NOT helpless! Your show of support, especially now when we need friends the most, shows that we have others standing with our mission, and that we have just begun to build.

This film has the power to affect change by educating, inspiring and calling to action. Help us make that happen!


Thanks for all you do,

John Wellington Ennis, Director

Do you need non-monetary help from a fellow filmmaker?
