Email or Call to Support Clean Elections
By Public Campaign Action Fund (Reposted from Bleeding Heartland)
Due to some technical issues, Blog for Iowa has been down this week.
However, we have them fixed, and are ready to roll. Let's begin where
we left off, with Clean Elections
The legislative session in Iowa is winding down. The General Assembly
is scheduled to recess this Friday and the House leadership is trying
to stall passage of the Voter Owned Iowa Clean Elections (VOICE) Act
that would bring full public financing to the state's elections. The
bill is currently sitting in the House Appropriations Committee. We
have the votes to bring the legislation to the floor, but we need your
help.
Please call the following representatives and tell them to allow the VOICE Act, HF 805, to go to the floor.
Speaker of the House Patrick Murphy
(515) 281-3221
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy
(515) 281-3221
Rep. Jo Oldson, House Appropriations Committee Chair
(515) 281-3221
The VOICE Act would make elections in your state about voters instead
of big campaign donors. House leadership would prefer to see this bill
just die in committee, but we can't let that happen. The legislation
deserves a fair debate on the floor of the House.
We need your help today. Please take a few minutes to call the
following legislators and tell them to support HF 805, the VOICE Act:
Speaker of the House Patrick Murphy
(515) 281-3221
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy
(515) 281-3221
Rep. Jo Oldson, House Appropriations Committee Chair
(515) 281-3221
With so much special interest money flowing into the elections in 2006,
these legislators are feeling pressure to bow to their big donors
instead of the interests of all voters. Put on a little pressure of
your own with a few calls. Thanks for all you do.
