Take the "For Sale" sign off the Capitol lawn!

Dear stan,

Through the stories of these every day Americans it is clear that we need to take the "For Sale" sign off the Capitol Lawn.

These interviews with Jim Kalbach, a farmer, Dominica Cibilich, an oyster fisherwoman and Chuck Nelson, a coal miner, show how hard-working people often pay a life-changing price when corporate money buys off politicians.

As long as politicians are accountable to these corporations and lobbyists who finance their campaigns, they are never going to be accountable to thepeople who elect them.

The only way to make Congress accountable to working Americans is to have Fair Elections, where a coal miner's voice can be heard as clearly as the owner of that mine.

It's time to take the "For Sale" sign off the Capitol Lawn. Pass Fair Elections NOW!

Yours,
Robert Greenwald and the Brave New Foundation team
