VOICE Rally at Statehouse on Wednesday

I just got home from work and in the mailbox is something from Iowa CCI about a rally in support for the VOICE legislation on Wednesday. Here's the info...

On Wednesday, April 18th, at 12:00 p.m., Iowans from across the state will be rallying at the capitol for Voter Owned Elections. We need to let the General Assembly know that it's time to make elections about voters and volunteers and not dollars and campaign donors.

Following the rally, we'll be lobbying members of the General Assembly.

You can sign up here.

MoveOn.org is getting involved in supporting the VOICE legislation. From an email from MoveOn...

The Iowa General Assembly is debating a bill to adopt Clean Elections—public financing for candidates in legislative and statewide races. Clean Elections is a proven policy working in states like Connecticut, Maine, and Arizona where campaigns are now contests of ideas, not fundraising ability.¹

There's less than two weeks left to pass Clean Elections before this year's session ends. Today is your chance to put this over the top.

Please call on your state legislators to support the Voter Owned Iowa Clean Elections (VOICE) Act—HF 805/AF 553.

Representative David Jacoby
Phone: 515-281-3221

This bill affects all other bills that are being debated because the VOICE legislation takes the big money out of politics and creates a level playing field. Please consider attending this rally if you are able to. I would take a personal day off from work, but we are taking a huge test this week and can't miss it. If you can't make it to the rally be call Rep. Dave Jacoby, who is in charge of passing the bill out of committee, and your Representive and tell them you support the VOICE legislation.
