First, two important notes. We are happy to welcome a new ally in our fight to put elections back in the hands of voters--United Republic. Make sure to check out their site: http://unitedrepublic.org.

Second, a report we co-wrote with PICO National Network on the influence of private prisons is being released this week at PICO's National Clergy Gathering in New Orleans. Proud to work with them on this. The report is here: http://publicampaign.org/reports/unholyalliance.

The Campaign Jungle

JOIN US: How Money Corrupts Congress with Lawrence Lessig

Submitted by John Papagiannis on Oct 12, 2011

Please join us next Tuesday, October 18 at 8:00 PM EST at the George Washington Law School for a lecture with Harvard Law Professor and founder of Rootstrikers, Lawrence Lessig. Professor Lessig is a profoundly compelling voice for our movement.

He’ll be discussing his terrific new book, “Republic, Lost,” which shows how money corrupts Congress and suggests policies and strategies that would bring sweeping change.
