We cannot fall behind

We’re against deep pockets and powerful special interests. 

Pamela, you already know the people running our government want to take your rights away. But did you know that – behind the scenes – there’s a secretive plot to permanently lock in the far-right’s agenda, without you even getting a vote? Imagine one day waking up to find all your constitutional rights stolen away, free speech, freedom of religion, due process, plus lifesaving programs like Social Security and Medicare. How? Through an Article V convention. Behind closed doors, far-right extremist groups and the ultra-wealthy are pouring tons of money and resources into this effort—because they know that this is the best way to write their far-right agenda into the Constitution.  Pamela, we are only SIX states away from this scenario becoming a reality.  Just 3 months into the year, they already introduced over 130 bills in 36 states!  There are no clear rules on how an Article V convention – once triggered – would operate. But here’s one thing I know for sure – the unelected billionaires behind this push would spend huge sums to get their way, with disastrous consequences.  That is why Common Cause is working around the clock to block these Article V bills state after state, year after year. And with the support of members like you, last year, we stopped nearly 150 bills in 36 states. That doesn't happen on its own: our team works year-round to organize rapid response campaigns when new bills drop, stop them before they gain traction, and expose the shadowy Big Money networks behind this right-wing power grab.  That’s where you come in – if you’re on board to help STOP this scheme to steal away our most cherished rights, I need your help to keep our work going. Pamela, we cannot afford to lose any ground, so I am asking you today, if you’ll make your first donation of $5 or more to stop these extremists from gutting our constitutional rights?
