From the Public Campaign Action Fund:

Stop the Make Congress More Corrupt Bill

The Republican-led Congress is trying to do away with the limit on the total amount of contributions to federal candidates so that wealthy donors can donate up to a million dollars in support of their preferred candidate. That's outrageous. It'll make Congress more corrupt and less accountable to us.

Guess who supports it? Tom DeLay, the Republican Majority Leader.

The "Make Congress More Corrupt" bill would give the wealthy and well-connected the ability to elect who they wanted. Politicians would spend their time collecting large checks from a small handful of donors, and no time talking to you.

If you think Congress doesn't listen to you now, think about what would happen if Republicans succeeded with their proposal to allow virtually unlimited donations.

Here is the sample e-mail letter:

Below is the sample letter:

Subject: Stop the Make Congress More Corrupt bill

Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here],

I am writing to demand that you oppose H.R. 1316, the "Make Congress More Corrupt" bill, that would do away with total contribution limits. This bill destroys the principle of one person, one vote by allowing virtually unlimited political donations. Please let me know if you intend to oppose it.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
