Working to elect candidates who support                CLEAN MONEY CLEAN ELECTIONS
the problem
Politicians, who depend on huge sums of money to run their campaigns, respond more
to the concerns of wealthy donors and special interests than they do to the concerns of
their constituents. Those without access to wealth are locked out of the system, unable
to afford running for office. Because of the corrupting influence of money in politics,
many Americans have lost faith in the system.
the solution
Clean Money Clean Elections(CMCE)
legislation levels the playing field and increases
accountability by making elections publicly funded. Most career politicians will not suppport
this legislation until they feel their jobs depend on it. The Clean Elections Pledge says to candidates
and politcians: “If you want my vote, you need to support CMCE”
