MAYDAY is a super PAC; Lessig is a candidate.

MAYDAY CEO and Board Chair Zephyr Teachout sent this message to Team MAYDAY yesterday:

Friend -

The most important policy decision any President -- including President Obama -- can make is whether to throw his or her entire weight behind publicly financed elections. We can't wait to overturn Citizens United and get rid of super PACs; we need to act now and replace privately funded elections with publicly funded ones.

I have good news and bad news on this front.

The bad news is that President Obama is not using his final term for this critical issue, and none of the Republican Presidential candidates have supported it. Hillary Clinton continues to stay quiet on the issue as well: last month she suggested that she supported public financing, but there's no evidence she is treating it as something she'd fight for. (Remember we at MAYDAY are bi-tri-quad-partisan -- we want every candidate's support!)

Here’s the good news: things are starting to shift. Last week, Bernie Sanders called for the public financing of elections and we have reason to hope it will become central to his campaign. Martin O'Malley has called for public financing as well, and we are hoping it becomes part of his daily stump.

And the latest news? The Huffington Post reported earlier this morning, MAYDAY co-founder Lawrence Lessig is planning a run for President of the United States of America to promote his agenda for fundamental reform.

We are a super PAC; he is a candidate. This means Lessig will no longer have a role in MAYDAY. However, it also means he will be taking his work as a radical constitutional patriot to a new, important arena. He says:  “It may be time to acknowledge openly what many have feared for some time: That on the issue of fundamental reform, an ordinary President may not be able to lead.”

We are pleased to see public financing of elections gaining traction among Presidential candidates. It's incredibly important. But we’re also not going to rest until we have more candidates on board, not just making statements, but campaigning on concrete actions in support of fundamental reform.  

And we’re not going to rest until Congress pushes back against illegitimate and concentrated power and puts in place public financing. After all, whoever is elected President will need a Congress to write, pass, and send a reform bill to the Oval Office. That means there's a lot more work left to do, and that it's time to fight.

We have not yet decided what action MAYDAY will be taking in 2016 races. But there’s a way you can help right now. Take one minute to record a message that we’ll deliver for you to Congress and pass on this email to friends so they can sign up to receive updates on this exciting moment.

Onward,

Zephyr Teachout

Press Release: Teachout Applauds Sen. Sanders’ Support for Public Funding of Campaigns

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Mayday PAC (MAYDAY.US) CEO and Board Chair Zephyr Teachout applauded presidential candidate and Senator Bernie Sanders for calling for the public funding of elections.

"We are thrilled that Sanders is finally turning to public financing of elections," Teachout said. "We want to see the new Sanders proposal, because publicly financed elections are really the centerpiece of fighting the political inequality and corruption that is sinking our democracy. Here's how I think about: American democracy is a ship with a hole in the bottom that is getting hit by heavy Super PAC hurricanes. We can't fix our democracy just by stopping the wind: we need to plug the hole. 

For the last few years, too much of the public discussion has been around a constitutional amendment without talking about the basic problem in our democracy: most campaigns are privately financed, and they don't have to be. Elections were privately financed before Citizens United, and if we overturn Citizens United they will still be privately financed. 

We have to flip from private to publicly financed elections to address the core problem.”

On Sunday, Sanders indicated his support for fundamental reform in a speech at a town meeting in New Hampshire.
