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.

Take big money out of our political system and put environmental issues first before it’s to late.

Money donations to politicians is equal to bribery. Politics is one of the three pillars in our democracy that should be free of any influence of third parties that could have or has an interest in who is leading the country.
