GOP Legislators Fast-Tracking Measures to
Eviscerate Non-Partisan GAB
&
Deregulate Campaign Finance Law and
Vastly Increase Secret Money
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) and State Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) are fast-tracking several seriously damaging, partisan measures this week. One will destroy the non-partisan Government Accountability Board (GAB). Another will deregulate Wisconsin campaign finance law and allow unlimited money – most of it secret – to flood our elections.
The GOP scheduled a joint legislative public hearing for today – publishing the hearing notice just this past Friday night – for this hyper-partisan legislation. Two of the bills will dismantle and "partisanize" the GAB: Assembly Bill 388 and Senate Bill 294. Two other bills will deform campaign finance law by legalizing campaign coordination between candidates and issue advocacy groups, among other things: Assembly Bill 387 and Senate Bill 292.
Here is what you can do to help fight against this blatant assault on democracy:
Call or email your State Senator AND State Representative and demand they oppose all four bills. (If you don't know who your state legislators are, go here.)
