Democracy is not an eBay item

A message from Nick:

As Congress gathers for tonight's State of the Union address, we need to ensure they hear one message loud and clear:

Our Democracy is not an eBay item going to the highest bidder.

We have gathered over 95,000 signatures in support of Sen. Bernie Sanders' constitutional amendment to reverse Citizens United. As long as this decision stays in place, the progressive agenda for 2012 will be in jeapordy. This week we will deliver the petitions signatures to your Senators.  

Help us get to 100,000 signatures in support of reversing Citizens United -- Now is your last chance before we deliver the petitions.

Plans from tonight's State of the Union address to return the middle-class to work and make the wealthy pay their far share will only go so far as long as unlimited money rules politics. Let's fight back for the system we deserve.
