Dear ____________:

I am writing to urge you to prioritize two issues for action, because I believe those two issues are critical to everything else we care about:

1. Election reform – We need to restore 100% accountability and transparency with paper ballots and with tabulation conducted by truly independent, bi-partisan agencies; and

2. Media reform – We need to restore and even strengthen restrictions on the consolidation of media ownership, reinstitute the Fairness Doctrine, and ensure internet neutrality.

This country will not truly be governed by the people again unless and until we accomplish those two goals. I would add that a third goal must also be to ensure that every child has access to a good, free public gradeschool and highschool education and an affordable college education.

For me, as important as so many other issues are today, those three far outrank them, since unless we address those three, all else we achieve will remain at risk.

Thank you again.
