Fellow Democrat,

Everyone agrees that there is already too much money in politics.

As the States Chief Elections Official, I'm writing to tell you about a bill that
would
bring even more out of state, unknown money to our elections.
Senate Bill 541 takes our elections out of the voting booth and puts them into
the corporate boardrooms. That means our elections are out of the hands of
hardworking West Virginians and into the hands of out-of-state millionaires.
This legislation allows out of state corporations to do something they have
never been able to do before - and that is give money directly to candidates.
Not only would they be able to give money, but they would be able to give
unlimited amounts!
The regular West Virginian cant compete.
That opens the ballot box to be stuffed with corporate money and not
votes. Unlimited funding to buy candidates means our elections are going to be
sold to the highest bidder!
This bill also eliminates the $1,000 limit to any or all campaigns
allowing millionaires to literally buy their candidates and our elections.
The sponsors of this bill say it is about transparency. It is anything but.
For them to make this claim is disingenuous to the people of West Virginia.
This bill allows millionaires to give endless amounts of money funneled through
outside groups so their name is never on it.
SB 541 does not represent our individual West Virginia values!
It picks winners and losers and this bill picks out of state corporations over
hardworking West Virginia families.
I am deeply troubled by this legislation and I know you are too. I urge you to
call your delegate or senator and tell them we dont want corporate candidates!
On your side,
Natalie
