Clean Elections – for the Future!

In Building the Countermovement, Laurie Spivak of alternet.org writes:

"Progressives share a common set of values… (which) center on our children’s future: their health, their prosperity, their education, and the environment, as well as the global situation that they inherit. From the pilgrims on the Mayflower to our newest waves of immigrants, for more than 300 years, people have come to America to give their children a chance at a better life.

"Securing that future through forward-looking policies, bold vision and political reform is the mission that unites progressives. …most important for long-term sustainability, progressives must address campaign finance reform. It’s time to end the preferential treatment of big business and parasitic lobbyists in Washington. America’s broken campaign finance system is rigged for corporate special interests… Millions of disaffected Americans never bother to vote and a Harris Interactive poll found that a whopping 87 percent of Americans believe that big corporations have far too much power and influence in Washington."

Get involved in OVEC’s campaign finance reform and Get Out The Vote work! In our own small way, we are helping to make the future better!
