Sample Letter for Clean Elections Campaign

Dear (Represenative)

I am writing to you to support the Clean Money/Clean Elections (CMCE) Bill in (Your State). I am concerned about the problems of private money corrupting our public political system.

CMCE will limit campaign spending and campaign contributions. Under CMCE, candidates voluntarily agree to limit their spending and contributions will receive a fixed and equal amount of public funds.

Clean Money Clean Elections give more access to the political system for those who cannot afford to do so now. It will stop the influence of private interests groups, and most of all it will restore the principle of “one-person-one-vote.” As the current system stands, we have a “one-dollar-one-vote” electoral process. In addition, politicians will be able to devote more time to voter concerns rather than raising money for their political campaign.

Voters in Massachusetts, Maine, Arizona, and Vermont, Conneticute and North Carolina have approved CMCE on the ballot. Now it’s time for Clean Money, Clean Elections in
(Your State) and the nation!

I urge members of the (Your State) Legislature to sponsor and work for passage of CMCE legislation. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Concerned Citizen
