Urge Congress to pass the Fair Elections Now Act @fixcongressfirst.com

Lawrence Lessig was just on MSNBC with David Shuster. He is urging Americans to support the Fair Elections Now Act through this website. H.R. 1826 has 133 cosponsors while S.752, the companion bill in the Senate, has only 8 cosponsors as of 2/12/2010. Obviously, they need prodding.

Support the Fair Elections Now Act

Last month's Supreme Court decision allowing unlimited special-interest intervention into our elections made a broken political system much worse. Only one bill currently under consideration is strong enough to restore public trust in Congress.

No other reform could be as important right now as passing the Fair Elections Now Act. Help defend our democracy. Support Fair Elections.
