Friday, January 25, 7:00 pm at the Trumansburg Fire Hall ? Back To Democracy Presents: ? Clean Money, Clean Elections Mary Clark of Citizen Action New York will be here to update us about Clean Money / Clean Elections -- CANY's campaign to get big money out of politics. ? One way that the corporations dominate American democracy is through making politicians dependent on their campaign donations -- money buys votes and money buys access to the politician's ear. Because of the absolute dependence on money, we now have something more akin to auctions than elections. ? Citizen Action New York's effort to get money out of elections offers one important means to make politicians more dependent on, and more accountable to voters. New York has a real chance at enacting this important reform. Governor Spitzer is in favor, but your help is needed to help push the legislator's -- especially the State Senate. ? Come out and learn how Clean Money / Clean Elections works, and how you can help push for publicly-funded elections in New York State. ? For more information about this issue, including a short film, go to www.CitizenActionNY.org. ? BTD meetings are free and open to all. Handicap accessible. Parking in the Fire Hall lot, but please do not block the firehouse doors (in the front or in the back). Donations appreciated. ?
