Big news! Candidates and members of Congress in six states have signed the MoveOn.org “Fight Washington Corruption Pledge!” The pledge calls on Congress to overturn the Citizens United decision to remove unlimited corporate money from politics and to pass the Fair Elections Now Act to publicly finance elections. It also asks passage of a lobbyist reform act to reduce the influence of corporate lobbyists. (Items about the campaign have appeared in our last two weekly email messages.) Sign the pledge HERE.

Now we’re urging Representative Brian Bilbray to join his colleagues and over 300,000 MoveOn members by signing the pledge to stand up against corporate control of Washington D.C.

Next Thursday,  July 29, we are planning a nationwide day of action to deliver the pledge and signatures from constituents to congressional offices across the country and ask members of Congress to come on board.

Chris Nava, EDC Political Action VP, will be delivering the pledge request and local signatures for MoveOn to the Congressman’s office. We need you there in show of force. Make your participation a part of the message.

• When: Thursday, July 29,,2010
• Time: noon
• Where: Rep. Brian Bilbray’s office, 380 Stevens Ave., Suite 212, Solana Beach, CA
