Open letter

To our elected representatives,

We call on you to work together to get big money out of our political system and put people back in.

This means:

  • Banning large donations to political parties and candidates.
  • Increasing the transparency of political donations, including real time reporting of donations. 
  • Limiting expenditure at election times so corporations can’t use their oversized  wallets to drown out our voices.
  • Creating an independent watchdog to investigate and stamp out corruption.
  • Stronger lobbying regulation and greater transparency so we know who’s meeting with our elected representatives and why.

Big corporate donations, and especially large sums of ‘dark money’ clearly inhibits political parties ability to legislate and create policy in a manner that is unbiased, genuine and for the overall good of the citizens they legislate for.

As your employer I am disgusted with the dishonesty involved in your actions! My government, no, further than that this is endemic to all parties, if you need to hide the income by not disclosing contributors it is from corrupt sources. I mandate the source of all earnings of each political party be revealed immediately or sooner. There’s no invisible way to hide dirty money.
