Oppose Repeal of Clean Elections in AZ!
Public Campaign Action Fund

Arizona has one of the best Clean Elections systems in the nation. Despite the overwhelming success and continued popularity of the system (9 out of 10 statewide elected officials participated in the system including Governor Napolitano), Rep. Rick Murphy has introduced House Concurrent Resolution (HCR) 2046 to repeal Clean Elections and take us back to the days of big money politics.

Please write your Representative right now and urge them to oppose this repeal, and uphold the Clean Elections law:

1. Californians have a stake in this too!
We passed AB 583, a Clean Money measure, out of our Assembly today. We have an uphill battle in the Senate, althought Debra Bowen, the chair of the Senate Elections Committee, is a co-author.

Repeal of the Arizona law would make it tougher to pass a Clean Money bill in California and other states.

3. It only helps with public funding, does nada for the evoting problem
but still it is one part of the solution.

You still have all touch screen machines in Georgia?

7. It really does. The irony, the Diebold file "robgeorgia" was one the
big finds re election fraud and theft.
