<DIV>Now as a follow up to this,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. Let's make our elected representatives know of our support for amending
the Constitution in this way. See
<U>http://act.commoncause.org/site/PageServer?pagename=sunlight_advocacy_list_page</U> to
find out who they are and how to contact them.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. Let's get other communities into this. I believe Oconomowoc, Hartland,
Wales, Pewaukee, <STRONG>and even Hartford</STRONG>, are ripe for referenda of
their own. See Barbara or me on how to get this going for the next
election.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3. And not least, Wisconsin United to Amend, who is coordinating these
local referenda, is truly a "grass roots" (or maybe "seat of the pants")
organization staffed by unpaid volunteers who have been paying expenses out of
their own pockets. They finally have a treasurer, so please donate (not
tax-deductable) if you're so inclined. Click on the link in the memo below
from WIUTA, or just send a check to Wisconsin United to Amend, PO Box 3392,
Madison, WI 53704. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you for supporting people over $$$,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<P>Thank you Barbra Begal and Gerry Flakas for spearheading the successful
passage in the city of Delafield of the resolution for an amendment to
change the SCOTUS Citizens United decision that has led to so much dark money
influencing government in our nation. If your community has not yet put
forth this resolution on a ballot, please consider doing so. </P>
<P><BR></P>
<P>Again, thank you so much Barbra and Gerry. You are glowing examples
of how we can work to keep our democracy safe.</P>
