Subject:*

Dear (recipient name),

After years of war, corruption, abuse of power, and disregard for the Constitution and the rule of law, the American spirit has taken quite a beating.

It’s time for renewal, time to lift our sights, renew our passion for participation and act together to restore democracy’s promise. 

We are calling on the presidential candidates to make a commitment to a Fresh Start for Democracy, including:

  • Ethical, open government without lies and abuses of power distorting it.

  • A full, spirited, fact-based-debate on issues like health care and global warming without special interests driving it.

  • An accurate and secure election process without fraud and unjust legal barriers undermining it.

  • A robust national conversation about our future without Big Media stifling it.
