"The Other 98% Summer Launch"

MoveOn Campaigns: The Other 98%

If we've learned anything since President Obama took office, it's that the fundamental changes we all want for America will be impossible until we end the stranglehold that big corporations and lobbyists have on our democracy. We know the solutions to the big problems. But most of these solutions aren't even on the table in Washington, because an army of corporate lobbyists stands in the way.

To fight back, we need to go big. We need a massive new movement to kick corporate lobbyists out of DC, hold our elected officials accountable, and fix our democracy to make Washington work for the 98% of us who don't have corporate lobbyists. This summer, we will set our reform agenda-- the "Stand for Democracy" pledge--, build support for this agenda in our communities, and organize a major advocacy campaign during the August Congressional Recess focused on members of Congress.The goal of this summer push is pressure our politicians to support our reform agenda, or to hold them accountable if they choose to stand with the corporate lobbyists rather than with their constituents.

Please join us at the NM Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum, Dripping Springs Road, Las Cruces, 88011, 7-9pm, Thursday, June 24th for "The Other 98%" Summer Launch, when we will strategize activities and events for July leading up to the August Congressional recess and meeting our targets head on!
