Campaign Finance Corruption Chorus

Posted on Take Action by Brian Beihl · January 03, 2020 9:37 AM · 9 reactions

We're combining two of our favorite actvities:   Singing and Social Action!

Announcing the 2020 Campaign Finance Corruption Chorus, sponsored by Open Democracy Action.   Our mission will be to sing "Corruption Carols" at campaign events in the last few weeks of the  2020 New Hampshire Primary, as well as carolling around Manchester where the national and international press hangs out.  

This will be a relaxed and FUN group with a humorous yet powerful message.    We're still working out the attire, but thinking we'll have matching warm hats and maybe scarves which will be provided to our singers. 

RSVP your interest by filling out the form below.   We're hoping to have our first rehearsal shortly.  

Thank you and hope to hear you soon!

It's not good enough to complain.   Our Republic is in peril, and it's time for you to take action on Democracy reforms.   Big Money politics is standing in the way of advances the voters want in healthcare, environment, tax reform, education and energy.   Until we fix it, we can't break the gridlock!

Here's how you can take action!

About Open Democracy Teams

Open Democracy Action's Regional Democracy Teams (RDTs) are a collaborative of Granite Staters taking weekly steps to make the promise of democracy real for all. Since inception in 2019, the RDTs have collectively taken thousands of actions to protect the freedom to vote, limit the influence of wealthy special interest groups, and ensure everyone has an equal say in government.

"Democracy isn't something we HAVE, it's something we DO." - Doris "Granny D" Haddock

The RDTs are open to all, whether or not you have experience "doing" democracy or are joining the cause for the first time.  In the spirit of our founder Doris "Granny D" Haddock, who at 89 years old walked across the United States for campaign finance reform, the RDTs are a testament to the power of everyday people to make change.
