Support Hopewell Township Campaign Finance Reform Resolution

Come to the Monday, June 11, 7 pm Town Committee Meeting

Polls show 80% of Republicans and 82% of Democrats “strongly agree” that special interest money has too much influence on politics.

In Central New Jersey, six towns have chosen to act: Princeton, Ewing, Lawrence, South Brunswick, West Windsor, and Cranbury have passed Anti-Corruption Resolutions. Local volunteers from Represent.Us, a grassroots organization, and town residents have called on their governments for reforms. The goal is to disclose who’s behind the lobbyists and so-called “independent committees” (Super-PACs and others) that are swamping New Jersey’s (and national) elections with secret “dark” money.
Hopewell residents, concerned about the corrupting influence of big money interests have been working with Represent.Us Central NJ Chapter to pass an Anti-Corruption Resolution in Hopewell. Mayor Kuchinski and the Township Committee have put the Anti-Corruption Resolution on the Agenda for a vote at the May 14th meeting. Passing this Resolution will add a seventh municipality in Central NJ sending a message to our state Legislators as well as to our Senators and Congressional Representatives that urges them to support state and federal legislation to Stop Political Bribery (that is now legalized), End Secret Money, and Fix our Broken Elections. If you are a Hopewell resident, come and show your support and bring your neighbors.
