<p>DFA Member --<br /><br /><strong>TERRIBLE news: The U.S. Supreme Court just made it easier than ever for super-rich corporate donors to buy elections.</strong> <br /><br />This morning, in a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court eliminated the aggregate donation limit to political campaigns, allowing each wealthy individual to dump as much as $3.5 million DIRECTLY into political campaigns and committees every single election cycle.<br /><br />Once again, the voices of average working Americans are at risk of being drowned out of the political discussion by a new flood of special interest cash. We've seen the damage Citizens United did to our political process. We can't sit back passively as the Supreme Court ushers in a new era of corporate control over our democracy. <strong>It's time to take action -- which is why we're joining with Public Citizen and others to hit the streets TODAY in protest of this horrible decision.</strong><br /><br /><a href="http://act.democracyforamerica.com/go/3966?t=1&akid=4597.1115072.Enkx6j" target="_blank"><strong>Don't wait -- make sure your voice is heard! Find a protest near you tonight and take a stand against the McCutcheon ruling and corporate money in politics RIGHT NOW.</strong></a><br /><br />Corporate activists like the Koch Brothers have proven they aren't going to go away quietly. They're hoping to overwhelm the progressive movement by sheer force of purchasing power. They think that if they buy enough ads, enough elected officials and enough judicial decisions that we will eventually get tired, give up and let them cement their control over our democracy.<br /><br /><strong>That's why it is so incredibly important that we take a HUGE collective stand today.</strong> We need to show the Koch Brothers, the media, and our elected officials that our votes are NOT for sale. That we will NOT just stand by while the Supreme Court sells off our democratic institutions to the highest bidders. That we will continue to demand meaningful election reform, and we won't take no for an answer.<br /><br /><a href="http://act.democracyforamerica.com/go/3966?t=2&akid=4597.1115072.Enkx6j" target="_blank"><strong>Join the thousands of activists standing up for our democracy in this crucial moment -- click here to find a local protest and speak out TODAY.</strong></a><br /><br />Thank you for taking immediate action,<br /><br />- Eden<br /><br />Eden James, Political Director<br />Democracy for America</p>
<b><a href="http://act.democracyforamerica.com/go/3967?t=3&akid=4597.1115072.Enkx6j">P.S. Today's Supreme Court decision demonstrates just how crucial it is for Democrats to hold the Senate come November. Can you chip in to help DFA elect progressive Senators who will take on <i>Citizens United</i> and <i>McCutcheon</i> head on?</b></a><br>
