Join the Funders Pledge

Tell politicians that you won't support them if they won't support fair elections.

The Fair Elections Now Act is the only bill that can begin to undo the damage of unrestricted special-interest donations' corrupting our political system.

Take a stand right now � commit that you won't donate to the campaign of any federal candidate who doesn't support cleaning up our elections and passing this vital bill.

By taking this pledge, you're making a statement that ordinary people can stand together against the corporations, unions, and wealthy special interests whose money dominates our politics.
