Public Campaign Action Fund

For our readers in Maryland, this comes from the Public Campaign Action Fund:

So we are now towards the end of this exciting campaign for Clean Elections in Maryland. Maryland lawmakers are in the process of voting this week on the bill that would call for public financing of state House and Senate elections. While we have strong support in the legislature, our coalition partners are still working hard to lobby legislators, a few of whom are still on the fence.

We must commend the volunteers and staff of the coalition that worked on this campaign showing up to phone bank, attending lobby days up in Annapolis, rallies, writing letters to the their local papers, and most importantly taking the time to personally call or email their legislator to support this bill.

With the few days left, you can still take action. Please, if you have not done so already, contact your Senator to tell them you support public financing of elections in Maryland and that they should vote for this bill, SB 546. Tell a friend or family member to do the same. To find out who your Senator is and to contact them, please go here.
