The League of Women Voters invites you to our Lunch and Learn webinar on October 9 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Waterfront Restaurant, La Crosse, North Entrance. The topic is “Pay to Play Politics: A Call to Action”.

“Pay-to-play” politics undermines peace and civic engagement in the US. We will discuss current opportunities to get involved in addressing the flood of money in politics and local, state, and national elections. American Promise is a national initiative to amend the US constitution to combat corruption, end elite and foreign money control of our elections, and secure the free speech and representation of all Americans.

LWV US advocates for the DISCLOSE Act in Congress. The DISCLOSE Act (S. 443) requires organizations and politicians to disclose donations over $10,000 during an election cycle. The proposed Wisconsin Senate Joint Resolution urges support for a constitutional amendment to provide states with authority to regulate campaign financing.
