Dear Common Cause Supporter, 

The United States Senate will vote on a constitutional amendment that will overturn the Citizens United decision, and ensure that our democracy is not sold to the highest bidder.  

Right now, 50 senators, including Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, support this amendment, but we need the support of more senators to reach the two-thirds majority needed to pass this important piece of legislation. 

Given his record, we believe that Senator Mark Kirk can be persuaded to support this measure, but we need your help. 

There are two ways that you can get involved and stand up for your democracy. 

1) Attend the Senator Kirk Democracy For All rally, at his office in downtown Chicago, where we will deliver signatures in support of this amendment. The event is September 3 at noon.Please RSVP for the rally and learn more about the issues from our coalition.  

2) Call Senator Kirk at 202-224-2854 or email his office, and ask him to support this important piece of campaign finance reform legislation, S.J. Res. 19--the Democracy for All Amendment. 

Senator Kirk's vote would help start serious campaign finance reform. We need you to tell him that you support campaign finance reform and overturning Citizens United. 

You can learn more about Common Cause's work to combat the power of big money in politics on our website.  

Democracy is in your hands.
