Perhaps you recall from a previous Action Alert!
or our newsletter the
troubles our Arizona Clean Election friends were having--Big Money
Special Interests were attempting to repeal Arizona's people-powered,
highly successful Clean Elections law. Good news! Late Thursday
afternoon, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that the Clean
Elections repeal initiative put forth by Big Money violated the state
constitution and was therefore thrown off the ballot.
Read about this victory here. The
victory in Arizona is good news for our Clean Election efforts here in
West Virginia.
Did you read the latest article on
mountaintop removal and campaign contributions in the New
York Times, "Friends
in the White House Come to Coal's Aid"? If you only saw the
article online, perhaps you missed the two graphics that went along
with the story. The graphic on how coal companies destroy our
mountains and streams cites OVEC as one of the information sources.
Click here
to see that graphic. The other chart, click here,
shows how the coal industry has given millions to political
candidates. It serves as a good reminder as to why our campaign
finance reform work is so important!
