Tell President Obama to Fix the FEC!
Candidates for federal office must be held accountable when they violate campaign finance laws.
If you agree, like we do, President Obama needs to hear from you today. Please take 5 minutes to sign our petition, forcing the president to take a stand for fair elections.
Primary season is in full swing, only this time with mountains of corporate money bursting through every crack in the system, thanks to the disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision. Amidst this chaos, the agency charged with holding back the deluge – the Federal Election Commission (FEC) – is a dysfunctional mess. Three of the six commissioners staunchly refuse to enforce the law, and five of the six are serving despite expired terms. Notwithstanding this dismal state of affairs, President Obama has sat on the sidelines, refusing to nominate new commissioners.
We need real campaign finance reform, and getting President Obama to nominate new commissioners to replace the ineffective squatters is a good place to start.
Under a process the White House set up, if 25,000 people sign our petition within the next 30 days, President Obama will respond to our demand. The bar is high, but with your help we can do it. Tell your family, forward this to your friends, post it on Facebook, tweet about it, and together we can work towards restoring faith in our democratic process.

Take action. Tell President Obama it’s time to stop sitting on the sidelines, stand up for democracy, and nominate new FEC commissioners today.
