It's no secret that lobbyists and the big corporations they work for have too much power in Washington today. We've seen them beat back progressive legislation over and over again these past two years.


The public option, climate change legislation, Wall Street reform -- these are just a few of the things killed or watered down by lobbyists and their corporate sponsors.


We're sick of it. That's why MoveOn, Democracy for America and a coalition of progressive groups have joined together in the Other 98% campaign. We're working to get members of Congress and candidates for office to pledge their support for breaking corporate control of Washington and building a better democracy.


Join the campaign to Fight Washington Corruption -- sign the pledge today.


Our campaign to beat back lobbyists and big corporations calls on Congress to:

Overturn Citizens United to get unlimited corporation money out of elections.
Pass the Fair Elections Now Act to publicly finance federal elections.
Enact a Lobbyist Reform Act to reduce the influence of corporate lobbyists.


Making our government work for the people and not the powerful isn't going to be easy, but together we can do it. So far, over 475,000 Americans across the country have joined the campaign to fight Washington corruption. Join the movement to beat big corporations -- sign the pledge today.


Get government working for the people and not the powerful -- sign the Fight Washington Corruption pledge today.


Together, we can get government working for the other 98% again.


Thank you for everything you do.


-Charles
