Final Reminder: Register for Common Cause Ethics and Campaign Reform Event

Editor's Note: This is a very important gathering to kick off efforts to pursuade every legislative candidate and officeholder in the state to support meaningful ethics and campaign finance reform. If you only go to one political event this summer, I think this is the one to attend. Is there any issue more important to the future of our democracy than restoring ethics to our political process?

If we want to lessen the effects of big donor money on our elected officials and candidates, we need to take an active role in supporting public financing for elections and achieving other important reforms to clean up how things operate. To do that, we need to support efforts like this one with everything we've got.

From Common Cause NM:
I know you've heard a lot about it over the past few weeks, but I want to send you one last reminder. The Common Cause Ethics and Campaign Reform kick-off event will be held on Wednesday, June 21 at the home of Michelle Rizek and Eric Griego in Albuquerque. If you haven't already done so, please take a moment to reserve your spot for this event online.

As you know, we are trying to get at least 100 Common Cause members and friends to show their support for ethics and campaign reform on June 21, so please sign-up now!

When: Wednesday, June 21, 2006, 6:00 to 8:00 PM

Where: The home of Michelle Rizek and Eric Griego: 1421 Marble NW (three blocks from Tiguex Park, near Old Town, on the northeast corner of 15th Street NW and Marble).

Suggested donation: $50 per person to Common Cause New Mexico.  (Please note that Common Cause does not accept donations from active candidate committees.)

Sign up to join us today!  Or, if you cannot come, please consider making a contribution to our campaign efforts anyway:
