Stop the "Don't Let the People Decide" Act

[Nathaniel Dube]

Congress apparently likes irony. Why else would a bill that would narrow our
choice of candidates in elections, be named the Let the People Decide Clean
Campaign Act? This bill, H.R. 4694, would prohibit private donations to
candidates to the House of Representatives, give a funding advantage to the
incumbent over the major-party challenger, prohibit individuals from using
their own money independently to support or criticize a candidate's views,
and imposes absurdly small spending caps on most third party and
independent campaigns. The laws we already have overwhelmingly favor
incumbents and the two major parties who make government bigger year after
year; this bill would put the nail in the coffin of all meaningful
opposition. We must let everyone in Congress know that this is completely
unacceptable to the American people. Click here

urging them to oppose the misnamed Let the People Decide Clean Campaign
Act.

Narrowing choices is what laws are all about.
Wasn't America supposed to be about voluntary agreement instead of
forced obedience?
Isn't it high time to join The Resistance?
