Looks like we struck a nerve...

This is going to come as a surprise to you, but you made a man named Dick Wadhams very, very angry last week. And we couldn't be prouder.

Here's what happened. Last Thursday, Public Campaign Action Fund's Campaign Money Watch project started airing new TV and radio ads in Colorado. The ads call attention to Senate candidate Bob Schaffer's connections to convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his clients who are sweatshop owners on the Northern Mariana Islands. The U.S. government found that women employees were mistreated and abused. But Schaffer defended the sweatshops and took thousands in campaign donation from their owners.

Bob Schaffer's campaign manager, Dick Wadhams, seemingly nostalgic for the playground taunts of yore, called Campaign Money Watch a "sham" organization funded by "scumbags."

Call me crazy (and I've been called worse) but that sounds like the response of a political operative who can't handle the truth, and chooses to attack us instead.

Make a donation today to send a message to the political operatives that their days are numbered. We own this democracy and we'll take it back.

We hit a nerve. And, if we're going to see a substantive change in the way our candidates for office finance their campaigns it's a nerve we need to keep hitting over and over again from the Pacific to Rockies to the Great Lakes to New England and everywhere in between.

To do that we need your support, and that's why I'd like to ask you for a donation today to help us continue to shine a spotlight on politicians who take campaign contributions with one hand and do favors with their other.

Let's keep making the Dick Wadhams' of the world nervous. While he's busy calling us names, we'll be busy telling the truth.

Thanks for all your hard work,

David Donnelly
Director
