We Need Citizen-Funded Elections

bill has already been introduced to Congress that would do just that, and it needs your support. The Grassroots Democracy Act includes a matching fund provision, but adds (1) tax credits for small dollar contributions, (2) a pilot version of an idea Lessig has been pushing, „democracy vouchers,“ and (3) a way to deal with outside spending. In other words, it‘s the means to end legislators‘ dependence on campaign funders, and make sure they start listening to the people.

Will you add your name to the right, urging members of Congress to sign on as a co-sponsor of the Grassroots Democracy Act?
