when you hear 'Karl Rove' think SLIMEY DIRTY TRICKS that would make Lee Atwater proud!
Is this the lowest common denominator we want?
Are we willing to accept such Slime-Ball Tactics? Or do we want Democracy to work?
Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal reported
Karl Rove and his shadowy campaign groups raised "$180 million in 2012 from 291
unnamed people, who gave an average of $618,000 each."
291 people -- a group smaller than my high
school class -- sought to influence the opinions of over 146 million registered
voters using resources only massive amounts of money can buy.
Our chances of winning any battle -- against
the NRA, Wall Street, or others -- will go way up if we can clean up the system
of legalized bribery that pervades Congress.
This past year, we've run over $100,000 in
TV ads against Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, the #1 opponent of
campaign reform and the #1 most vulnerable Republican senator in 2014.
In addition, we've worked with top House
Democratic leaders to craft a bold new campaign finance bill (coming soon!) and
organized a coalition of 8 organizations representing millions of people who are
ready to push for big reform in 2014.
We need to know if you'll be with us in 2014
-- as we push reform in Congress, elect reform heroes, and fight those like Karl
Rove who try to control Congress by spending millions of dollars.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
