Clean Elections

Hi Good Gov and Enviro friends,

We've learned that Sen Hanabusa has written a bill (SB 3141) that will
lift the $1,000 cap on corporate contributions, creating a situation
in which corporations can give unlimited amounts of money.

She tried to do a similar thing three years ago, and with a broad
coalition, we were able to stop her.

Our plan to counter her effort is below, and we're asking anyone who
is willing to sign on to the effort.

We will be issuing a press release on Monday with as many
organizations signed on as possible. Many of you were involved in the
last effort, and we hope you can continue your support.

IF YOU WANT TO CONSIDER JOINING THE EFFORT TO STOP THIS
BILL, E-MAIL ME AT kory.payne@gmail.com AND WE'LL KEEP YOU IN THE
LOOP.


Actions and Timeline:

1. Craft Press Release this weekend

2. Send out press release on Monday morning.

3. Meet Monday evening to plan Press Conference for
Thursday morning ( Jan 31st )


Thanks for all of the great work you're all doing.

If you have questions about the bill or this issue, just call or email
me

Mainly, we're looking to have as many groups as possible sign on
to the press release to create better odds of stopping Hanabusa from
underming this very solid law (the $1000 cap).

Aloha
