Anti-corruption organizers in Tallahassee, Florida have been working for months to mount a pivotal campaign, a fight to save one city from the tide of big money politics and corruption that threatens the future in cities across the country.
The story behind the organizers, and the grassroots momentum for the Anti-Corruption Act they’re trying to pass, could be an instant classic on Election Day. So let’s cover the details.
The story of Tallahassee sounds like the set up for a great joke: A Tea Party member, a League of Women Voters organizer, and a member of Common Cause walk into a courtroom...
With more than 20,000 petition signatures, these organizers get to work landing a tough anti-corruption law on the books. Out of nowhere, obstacles appear. Pushback from local officials heats things up.
What happens next? Only Election Day can tell us. But if they win in Tallahassee, politicians will have to act differently. A victory here means elected officials won’t be able to take big money from the special interests they’re supposed to keep in check. And in future elections, candidates will have to turn to voters for the money to finance their campaigns.
Basically: A victory for the Anti-Corruption Act in Tallahassee will show the whole country that voters have the power to fix our broken system.
