Calling Cuomo: Fair Elections in NY now!
To Governor Andrew Cuomo, New York:
As Americans deeply concerned about the corruption of our democratic system by the flood of big money, we call on you to lead the way to real solutions by passing a strong public finance bill through the New York legislature before the end of this legislative session. A victory in NY could lead to victories in other states and will demonstrate your ability to help solve one of the most vexing problems facing our nation today. If you win this, we won't forget.

Reforming our campaign finance system is a massive task that often feels hopeless. But passing this Fair Elections bill in NY is a concrete step we can take towards fixing the problem and experts say if it passes here, just like gay marriage, it can spread to other states. It's already passed the State Assembly, but now it’s being held up in the Senate by a Republican minority and a handful of conservative Dems. With just days left in session only a full-court press by Governor Cuomo can shift enough votes to land a massive win for people over SuperPACs.
Let's let Cuomo know we need him to lead on one of the most important issues of our time and make NY where change begins. Take action now by making a quick call to the Governor's office:

Here are some useful points you can raise on your call
* I am counting on Governor Cuomo to make sure a strong public financing bill passes before this legislative session closes.
* Reducing the influence of big money in politics is the most important issue facing our democracy today.
* If Governor Cuomo has future ambitions about being a political leader, whether he can succeed in passing this bill will be a critical marker of whether he's the kind of leader we can trust.
