Corporations with even a small percentage of foreign ownership would be prohibited from making contributions to US elections and candidates... from City Councils to President… thanks to a new kind of legislation. A brilliant legislative strategy is picking up bipartisan support in cities and states across the U.S. Think what it would mean to WILPF US’s issues if big money wasn’t buying elections!
Keeping foreign interests from buying elections could be very effective, and it turns out to be pretty popular. Since 98% of America’s biggest corporations DO have foreign investors, the majority of big corporate donors might be contained.
The cities of Seattle, WA and St. Petersburg ,FL passed this legislation. Now the states of Massachusetts, Maryland, Hawaii, Minnesota, New York, Maine, Oregon and Colorado are also introducing these NO FOREIGN MONEY bills which are enjoying bipartisan support.
Join us to learn more about what the success of this strategy might mean for the issues you support. Our guest presenter will be Senior Counsel for Free Speech For People, Courtney Hostetler.
