DFA Candidate Daniel Biss does DIY Campaign Finance Reform

[courtesy of Blog for America]

We don't need to wait to have campaign finance reform -- our Northside DFA adopted candidate Daniel Biss, running for State Rep in the 17th District, is doing it right now.

He has raised over $220,000 from over 1,300 individual donors -- unheard of for a State Rep race.  This is the people powered campaign we have been waiting for!

In contrast, here is a small sample of where Dan's opponent, Republican Beth Coulson, gets her money from:

Americash Loans LLC - $250.00
Anheuser-Busch Companies Inc. - $500.00
Astellas Pharma - $250.00
Baxter Healthcare Corporation - $250.00
Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals - $500.00
Caremark RX Inc $500.00
Daiichi Sankyo Inc $500.00
Diageo North America Inc $250.00
GlaxoSmithKline  $500.00
Hawthorne Race Course $250.00
Humana Inc. $1,250.00
Pfizer Inc $500.00
Pharmaceutical Research & Mfrs. of America $500.00
Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America Inc $250.00
Walgreen Drugstores Corporation $450.00
Zeneca Inc. $250.00

And this list is just from her last fundraising report! We need someone in this seat who is beholden to the people, NOT to Big Pharma.

Daniel is having a fundraiser this Wednesday, and lots of your Northside DFA friends will be there.  Tickets are just $34 -- $17 for students.  Can you come out and be one of Daniel's small donors? Can you help us make this people-powered campaign possible?
