All Children Matter, |
|
All Children Matter, the $10 million pro-private school vouchers group financed by right wing billionaires and millionaires, including Dick and Betsy DeVos and the Wal-Mart heirs, was leveled with a $5.2 million fine by the Ohio Elections Commission on Friday, April 4 for illegally funneling $870,000 into Ohio campaigns. All Children Matter remains under investigation in Wisconsin after the State Elections Board determined in November 2006 that All Children Matter violated rules about express advocacy. That investigation is in the hands of Wisconsin's Government Accountability Board. All Children Matter and its top givers have flooded Wisconsin with campaign contributions and other expenditures. According to data compiled from the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, forty-eight legislators have received a total of $129,455. Use the form below to sign a letter calling on Wisconsin legislators who have accepted contributions from the All Children Matter team to return these funds, or donate them to an appropriate charity. Taking action today will help you send a loud and unmistakable message to the legislature. All Children Matter’s Top Donors and money given to Wisconsin legislators’ campaign accounts

Dear Wisconsin State Legislators,
I am writing because I think all Wisconsin State Legislators should return contributions they have received from the leaders of All Children Matter. Not only did All Children Matter get a staggering $5.2 million in fines for illegally funneling money in Ohio, they remain under investigation by the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board. This cloud of controversy hangs over the activities of All Children Matter, and contributions received from their team need to be returned or given to charity. Your public service as a state legislator demands the highest standards. In order to preserve those standards, state legislators should take the opportunity to return contributions from All Children Matter. I encourage state legislators to both review the contributions they received by going to www.AllCashMatters.org and return these contributions or donate them to an appropriate charity. |
