How many other states are showing signs of joining?

[Mazmaz]

Wolf PAC has volunteers working on the issue in every state. That being said, it's hard to quantify that question. The best way to do it would be to go to the "States" page, click on the state that you're in or are interested in, and click on the "Wolf PAC <State> Worksheet". This worksheet has the notes and colour coded results of volunteer efforts in the state, and can help to clear up which representatives are supportive.

Question: How does this affect campaign spending from unions?

Question: How does this affect campaign spending from unions?

It should be the same as corporations. If not, the balance of power swings from corporations to unions and the union bosses' agendas. There's a Jimmy Hoffa reference here.

If you want to contribute to a politician and your union supports them, then you support them personally. Organizations cannot be allowed to influence policy financially. They have such a huge advantage over individuals that they will always sway the representation away from the people and toward the interest of big money. A thought: If a union wants to contribute money to a politician, they do it through the members with the member name attached to the money. Tie every penny to an individual person.

Oh, I agree completely, which is why I wanted to ask. Sometimes these ideas don't apply equally, which results in exactly what you said.

[Mazmaz]

Wolf PAC has aimed from the very beginning to get money out from both sides, whether corporations or unions. That's why they get bipartisan support throughout states.

[Tarage]

Well, I'm for it then. I hope it happens.

[Mazmaz]

Volunteer instead of hope.

Not even the president can get anything done without lobbyists.

Just got this email from Wolf PAC about Cenk doing an AMA tomorrow

Wolf PAC
Ryan --

Tomorrow, Thursday January 22, from 4-6pm EST, I’ll be hosting an AMA (“Ask me anything”) on Reddit to talk about the Citizens United decision, it’s impact on our country's politics, and Wolf-PAC’s progress on getting a constitutional amendment to reverse it.

Five years ago today the supreme court handed down the Citizens United decision, which will go down in history as one of the worst cases of judicial activism by our nation’s highest court.

Click here to RSVP for the AMA on Thursday 4-6pm EST

If you’ve always wondered why I founded Wolf-PAC or why I even chose the name “Wolf-PAC” this is your chance to ask. Want some updates on our progress or more details about the 3 states that called for an amendments convention last year?

You can ask me anything. Literally. I’m hosting an AMA ("Ask me anything") on Reddit this Thursday from 4-6pm EST. RSVP here.

Forward,

Cenk Uygur, Wolf-PAC

PS. Many other Wolf-PAC members and allies will join us for the “Ask me anything” so you can see the responses to their questions too. Click here to RSVP.
