You’re personally invited to Advocacy Day 2023, a time to celebrate our birthday and lobby for important issues in Augusta. We’re turning 103 this year, and we look good for our age, but the work is far from done.

In yesterday’s DISCLOSE Act hearing, @SenWhitehouse revealed that dark money spending has skyrocketed from under $5 million in 2006 to over $1 billion in 2020. We must pass the DISCLOSE Act now to give average citizens a voice in our politics. #EndSecretMoney

Voters deserve to know how money influences their elections.

In America, the voters decide. But wealthy special interests are spending huge sums to sway and even sabotage future elections, while hiding their contributions through secretive groups that hide their donors. The #DISCLOSEAct will close the loopholes and let the sunshine in.

It is time to finally pass this critical legislation to allow the American people to know who is influencing elections with large political spending.

#3:
Citizen initiative to eliminate foreign government influence in Maine elections. This evolved from a bill that @MECleanElection supported, which narrowly failed to override the Governor’s veto last spring. Sign your name! 4/4

Opinion: To protect voting rights, Senate must reduce the influence of big money in campaigns bangordailynews.com/2021/06/… #mepolitics

The #ForThePeopleAct (#S1) would create a small donor public funding system for federal races. It's vital to keep this legislative piece in the #S1 bill. Maine knows the importance of Clean Elections, and King has long been a supporter of Maine’s Clean Elections Act.

@LWVME has a long history of getting money out of politics, helping to gather signatures & pass the Maine Clean Election Act in 1996.
Today, along with @MECleanElection, we're testifying on #LD1417, a ban on corporate contributions in Maine elections.

Here are our top ten reasons why the Senate should pass the #ForThePeopleAct, but really, all you need to know is this: it fights dark money in politics and helps to get out the vote (and makes our votes count!). It's time for the Senate to pass this bill. citizensforethics.org/news/a…
