Email from Robert Reich, Common Cause - dollar for dollar match
I am sure that you all are as sick of the begging for money as I am. Especially when you can't afford to give a dime. But the match is a great opportunity to help a cause we all agree with. A truly Common Cause
Time is running out for you to double your impact on our democracy. Thanks to the gifts of generous donors, any contribution you make between now and midnight of May 15th will be DOUBLED — which means every dollar you send us will carry TWICE the power.
Please support our 2015 Matching Gift Campaign with a contribution of $20.00 or more — but remember, we must receive it by the May 15 deadline in order for it to be matched.
Frankly, we’re going to need all the help we can get as we tackle the Big Money special interests who are trying to buy our democracy.
The Koch brothers, the Tom Steyers, and others are now showing their hand, funneling literally billions into the 2016 campaign, adopting and anointing candidates, and turning the Presidential primary season into the Plutocrat Primary.
If they think we are going to just lay down at their show of force ― they’ve got that dead wrong.
Common Cause is standing up to big money in politics, by pushing at the state and federal level to increase the number of supporters of a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, demand greater disclosure of dark money, and enact small donor empowerment reforms to counter the unprecedented flood of money into our elections.
And now you have an extraordinary opportunity to help us. But we can’t do it without you.
So act now – before this matching gift opportunity slips away!
Sincerely,
Robert Reich
Chairman, National Governing Board
P.S. Unlike the Koch Brothers and the other secretive groups that oppose reform, Common Cause does not have deep pockets, and we need to work twice as hard in the fight. That’s why we need your help to secure these matching funds. But May 15 is the last day for your contribution to be doubled. So please take action today.

@commoncause is probably the biggest fighter against money in politics around. They are trying, and succeeding, in State by State fights. If you can, please donate before midnight
