Dear Friend,
On Wednesday Democrats unveiled our Honest Leadership and Open Government Act, real reform on ethics and lobbying in Washington that will dismantle the Republican money machine that has taken over our government.
Our bill would put an outright end to gifts from lobbyists, close the revolving door where representatives immediately jump to lucrative lobbying careers, clamp down on companies like Halliburton who cheat the taxpayer, and shut down efforts like the "K Street Project," which Republicans created to tell corporations and lobbying firms whom they should hire in exchange for political access.
Democrats have unified behind these principles in a powerful show of force and conscience, from Democratic mayors of small towns to Democratic Leaders in the US House and Senate. Every major Democratic Committee has come out together in support, and we still need you behind us. I hope you'll sign the Honest Leadership Pledge.
I also hope that you'll join me tomorrow for an online chat about this, the culture of corruption, hot races emerging across the country and whatever else is on your mind. I've enjoyed these chats more and more with each one. If you haven't taken part in one before, there's no better time than right now, and if you have rest assured I'll try to address those questions and concerns that I couldn't get to in the past.
The chat will take place on Friday morning (tomorrow) at 10:00 AM Eastern (7:00 AM Pacific), but you can start submitting questions now - hope to see you there:
