OK FOLKS! HERE'S THE FOLKS TO FOCUS ON! Senator McCain just sent out the following e-mail to his Straight Talk Express Supporters...
SUBJECT: ACTION ALERT!The Shays-Meehan campaign finance reform bill is scheduled for a vote on Wednesday, February 13. In addition to banning soft money, the bill strengthens other campaign finance laws making it more difficult for special interest to hid behind sham issue ads and skew the political climate during elections.
Senator McCain wants you to know that those who oppose reform are determined to stop the Shays-Meehan legislation, amend it to death or replace it with a bogus alternative - the Ney Bill. But, we are not going to miss this historic opportunity for change. Please help us by using your email and faxes to get the message to some wavering members that now is the time or courage. It's time for the House of Representatives to put the country’s interest ahead of their own political interest.
Below are a list of House Members that need to hear that we need their support on both passage of Shays-Meehan and fending off poison pill amendments. Please phone or fax each one with that message. Thanks for your continued support and commitment.
