R.Hunter - The Supreme Court made a mess when it issued the Citizens United decision. And now progressives like you and me have a chance to clean it up.

After all, we do big things -- like fighting to protect Medicare and Social Security, demanding that the wealthy pay their fair share to solve our deficit problem, and rebuilding a battered manufacturing sector and a struggling middle class.

I've taken on tough progressive fights every day of my career -- and now I've signed on to a constitutional amendment that would effectively overturn the Citizens United decision (the one that gave unlimited First Amendment rights to corporations and let them spend unlimited secret money on our elections).

I'm writing to invite you to sign on, too.

If we pass it, we'll make it clear that, in America, democracy is not for sale.

You can bet the same corporate special interests that are preparing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars with their new powers under Citizens United -- and have already spent over $10 million attacking me in my re-election campaign -- will do anything to keep that ruling in place.

I've never backed away from a fight when our progressive values are on the line. And I hope you're ready to join me in this one.

Now is the time for progressives to give working people a voice in our elections. Now is our chance to overturn this decision and get our country back.

Thank you reading -- and thank you for taking action.
