Did you know that the future health of our environment is affected by campaign finance reform? Well, it is and there *is* something we can do about it. http://www.commoncause.org Members of Congress receive millions of dollars in campaign contributions from polluters who oppose new EPA rules to clean up the air we breathe. During the 1996 election, some of the special interests most affected by the Clean Air Act - oil & gas, chemical, manufacturing, auto - contributed $16 million to Democrats and $29 million to Republicans. These were donations intended to buy them favorable legislation no matter who came out on top. They hedged their bets and they won. Help end the influence of corporate money on politicians in Washington by joining Project Independence - a nationwide grass roots movement to pressure congress to pass campaign finance reform. Visit the web site at http://www.commoncause.org and click the banner "sign the petition" to put your name behind thousands of others in support of reform. WHO WANTS THEIR ENVIRONMENT DIRTIER THAN THEIR POLITICIANS? Visit http://www.commoncause.org to help clean up both at the same time. Common Cause is a non-profit, non-partisan citizen's lobbying organization promoting open, honest and accountable government.
