Dear Representative [LAST NAME],

We represent a group of more than 1,000 residents of [STATE] District [#] who are deeply concerned with the issue of money in politics corruption. We would like to schedule a meeting with you to discuss your potential support for the American Anti-Corruption Act — a comprehensive, new proposal drafted by a cross-partisan team of constitutional lawyers including Former FEC Chairman Trevor Potter and Harvard Professor Lawrence Lessig. The Act would reshape campaign finance, lobbying transparency laws, and  strengthen FEC oversight.

We are a politically diverse group — including [enter your local affiliations here] — and some 400,000 members nationwide.

As you know, constituents of all political stripes are becoming more aware of the corrosive influence of money in our government and the increasing role it has in federal and state policy-making decisions. Our country is perennially on the verge of political crisis, in part because money triumphs over good ideas in Congress. The outcome: A Congress plagued by approval ratings hovering at 10%¹ and a public who rightly believes their own government no longer represents them.²

In America, the government is supposed to represent the people. However, ‘We The People’ will continue to be drowned out unless we take a stand against the unbridled corruption. That is exactly why we are writing to you today.

We represent just one district in a coordinated campaign of RepresentUs District Committees that are working with elected representatives to build a national, cross-partisan, anti-corruption movement. We are grassroots Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Tea Partiers, Occupiers and Libertarians. We are environmentalists, economists and religious leaders. We are white collar, working class and everywhere in between. You can find the detailed provisions for the Act here: AntiCorruptionAct.org.

This is a law of, by and for The People. Our goal is to delay introduction of the Act until our movement has enlisted a critical mass of members required to ensure clean passage. This is your moment to stand with The People and take a stand on behalf of every one of your constituents.

We are available to meet [INCLUDE DAYS AVAILABLE] Please let us know what other information we can provide to move this request forward. We look forward to meeting with you.

Sincerely,

[YOUR NAMES]

RepresentUs [STATE] District Committee [#] Leadership Team
