Dear *********,

Unlike you and me, corporations don't eat, drink, get married, vote, or bathe. And
they never sleep. Which is why they have already launched another attack on our
democracy, due to hit ground zero tomorrow, Wednesday, January 27, at 9:30 a.m.

Last week, it was the Citizens United case. That case not only permits unlimited
campaign spending by huge multinational corporations, but it also says that any law
to curb such spending is a violation of those corporations' "constitutional rights."

Now, it's the SpeechNow case. This new case would extend the newfound "rights" of
multinational corporations to billionaires. Yes, the SpeechNow case would give
billionaires the "constitutional right" to pollute political campaigns to any degree
that they see fit.

We have to fight back. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit will hear
"arguments" on the SpeechNow case at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow in Washington.

Courage,

Alan Grayson
Member of Congress
