Hey,

I'm fed up with the explosion of big corporate influence over our politics.

With the Supreme Court ignoring its own precedents to unleash a torrent of corporate and special interest money in our elections, I decided to take action.

Senators Dick Durbin, Jeff Merkley, Chuck Schumer, Tom Udall, and Sheldon Whitehouse have introduced an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would restore our right to regulate money in elections -- the right the Supreme Court took away with their misguided Citizens United ruling in 2010 -- and I just signed their public petition in support of it.

This is a really important issue for our democracy, so I thought you would want to sign, too.

Take action here:

Thanks!
