Help the Reform Super PAC to End All Super PACs

[Alan Grayson]

From time to time, I turn these notes over to someone else who has something to say that you need to hear. Today, on Independence Day, it’s Prof. Lawrence Lessig. Lessig has lauched MayDay PAC, the Super PAC to end all Super PACs. MayDay is a fund to help ordinary people join together, and demand clean elections and good government. Let’s declare our independence from sewer money in politics. I’ll let Lessig explain further:

Courage,

Rep. Alan Grayson


Dear Friend:


This is Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Lessig.


Since the early 1920s, aviators and mariners have used the word MAYDAY to signal distress.


On the sea, when another captain hears that call, there is an obligation to lend aid.
At MayDay PAC, we are calling a MAYDAY on this democracy. Americans from across the political spectrum believe our government is broken. More than 90% of us link that failure to the role of money in politics.


And yet our politicians do nothing to break that link. Instead they spend endless time raising campaign funds from the tiniest fraction of the 1%.


Our democracy is held hostage by these funders of campaigns. We have announced a plan to get it back.


Can you watch this video explaining our MayDay PAC and chip in $10 or more to help take our democracy back?


Several years ago, I decided to give up my work on copyright and Internet policy, and take up the fight against corruption.


I started collaborating with others on the best way to build a grassroots movement around campaign finance reform. Washington won't fix itself -- The People need to take action.


That's why we created MayDay PAC, an ambitious "Super PAC to end all Super PACs" that will make reform a 2014 campaign issue. We've raised millions so far, shocking the political world.


Watch this video explaining MayDay PAC and chip in $10 or more if you want to be part of this movement.


With hope,


Lawrence Lessig

I had a similar feeling when I chipped in here and there for President Obama's 2008 campaign. If we all do our part, however little, we can create change.
