Help NJ Vote To Overturn Citizens United! Call Your Assembly Members!


From the Bus for Progress:

New Jersey is on the verge of making history, and you can help get us across the finish line with one quick phone call.

Call your Assembly members in support of A.R. 86. This Thursday, October 18, the state Assembly is expected to hold the final vote needed to pass A.R. 86.

A.R. 86 is the state resolution calling for a U.S. constitutional amendment to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court's disastrous Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision -- the one that opened the floodgates to unlimited campaign spending. Our elections have turned into auctions -- at least a billion dollars likely will be spent on this year's presidential race alone -- and the voices of people like us are drowned out. If passed, New Jersey will become the ninth state in the nation to take this leadership stand.

The state Senate has already passed this legislative resolution; Gov. Chris Christie's signature is not required for the state to adopt it. The vote on Thursday is the last step.

Make a quick call to your Assembly members now:
