What a way to start the day.

This morning in my inbox is an email from DownsizeDC.org they are an organization designed to help protect and inform the people from congress and the bills they try to pass that will hurt our freedoms.
The current bill H.R.4694 will change the way candidates get funding, it will all come from the government (so we pay for both guys, no matter who we think is better) with the current president getting more money for their campaign, than the new guy.
For those of us who like the ability to vote for third party members, they will have to have a petition signed that equals 20% of the previous elections votes.
Candidates that don't want to take government money will not be allowed to run.
Citizen groups will not be allowed to spend money on communication that discuss the campaign, (tv commercials, flyers, radio spots, websites)

Please go to DownsizeDC.org
Stop the "Don't Let the People Decide" Act
and let your congress person know you oppose this bill.

DownsizeDC.org is also working on getting a bill passed through congress, it's called the Read The Bills Act. The bill basically makes the people in congress read the bill they are voting on, hmm what a novel concept, understanding what you are going to be doing to millions of peoples lives if a bill passes or fails.
