| | | Dear Friends,
We’ve
just won our biggest victory ever! Yesterday,
the New Mexico House of Representatives passed our bill, 38-29, calling on
Congress to amend the United States Constitution to overturn the infamous Citizens
United ruling*
and return our democracy to the people.
In
a bi-partisan vote, a Republican and an Independent joined Democrats in
supporting this bill, working together to make the New Mexico House one of the
first full state legislative bodies in the country to officially endorse a
Constitutional Amendment to reverse Citizens
United.
The
action goes next to the New Mexico State Senate, where a committee will consider
an identical bill today, and, we hope the full Senate will soon follow.
If
you know anyone in New Mexico,
please ask them to call their state Senators, urging them to join their House
colleagues and support
bill #SM3.
New Mexicans can look up their state Senators here: http://j.mp/NM-sen.
We
also have terrific news from Massachusetts,
where the state Senate President Therese Murray has just announced she’ll
support a similar bill of ours, also calling for a U.S. Constitutional Amendment
to overturn Citizens
United.
It’s
just incredible to have so much momentum behind our
campaign.
This
is a great moment to pick up the ball wherever you live and run with it.
Can
you call *your* state legislators now?
You
can look them up, and even make free phone calls, here: http://j.mp/STcalls12
Urge
your legislators to:
“Please
introduce or co-sponsor a state resolution calling on Congress to amend the U.S.
Constitution, over-ruling Citizens
United
and restoring democracy to We, the People.”
If
they ask for a sample resolution, you can refer them to: http://j.mp/StRes
With
your help, today’s good news from New Mexico and Massachusetts will be just the
beginning.
Thanks
so much for being part of our historic campaign.
Sincerely, |
