Change is coming to Just Six Dollars

In the spirit of sweeping change ushered in by the recent elections, we want to give you a preview of some truly exciting and groundbreaking changes that will be coming to Just $6 in the next few days.

Thanks to your support, our work in building and consolidating a broad-based movement behind public funding has paid off. Now - with a new president committed to our cause, a new Congress and a newly energized public - the time is ripe to turn the promise of public funding into reality.

That means we have to have bigger, stronger platform capable of promoting a new kind of campaign finance, with masses of small citizen donors at its core.

To meet these challenges, Just $6 will be changing and growing, too. In just a few days, Just $6 will become You Street -- a powerful new communications initiative that will bring the public into public funding in ways we have never done before. For a YouTube video preview of You Street, please click here.

When you've seen the video, we'd love your feedback - please take a moment to post a comment on YouTube. If you like what you see, please help us spread the word. Tell your friends about it, and make a donation to help us keep building our web presence and growing our movement.

Be on the lookout for another major announcement from us in the coming days. As a supporter of public funding, we know you'll be as excited as we are. Stay tuned!

Ask our presidential candidates what they think of public financing of campaigns

Just $6, from Americans for Campaign Reform, is running a grassroots campaign right now for the first several presidential primary states. They want you to ask your candidate whether he/she supports public financing of campaigns. Please follow this link Just $6, and follow their easy instructions.

Just $6 is an innovative approach to public financing of federal campaigns-- for just $6 per citizen, candidates each election cycle can brush aside donations from private special interests and spend more time with the voters. It proves to be less expensive, too, than the fundraising route.
