Tim Potts: Help us Ring in the New Year with Good Government

Dear Friends of Democracy Rising,

We've made some New Year's Resolutions for Pennsylvania state government.
  1. Enact the best open records law in America.
  2. Best lobbying control law in America.
  3. Best campaign finance law in America.
  4. Best election laws in America.
Democracy Rising PA is resolved to make Pennsylvania the best of all fifty states in every category of good government. This isn't wishful thinking on our part. We've already nailed legislators on their secret salary hikes. We've called them on the millions of tax-payer dollars they've spent on partisan polling, and the appalling lack of "openness" in their proposed open records legislation. We've exposed lots of other infractions, too, all fueled by the fact that our government currently has the worst quality laws on matters of public integrity than any other state in America.

Now is the ideal time to make the most of this momentum for change. You've seen our emails about our year-end fund-raising campaign. Since starting our campaign, we have raised close to $30,000. If we raise $100,000 by December 31, we'll get matching funds, ponied up by donors across the political spectrum. That's serious money that can have a serious impact on our ability to make 2008 the year of integrity, value, transparency, and citizen confidence in government.

With just 4 days left to meet this $100,000 challenge, every contribution counts. If you haven't already donated, we urge you to do so now. Click donate to double the impact of your donation.

Working together, we can ring out the rampant corruption and waste in our current legislature, and ring in the New Year with the promise of good government.

Thank you for your support!

- Tim Potts
