You will not be alone if you choose to fight for clean elections in your area. Several battletested groups stand ready to provide how-to packages and hands-on help, including educational, strategic, tactical, and technical assistance. They can also plug you into state and local groups that have made such fights or are involved in them now and are willing to share info.

Each of these groups is also involved in efforts to apply clean elections to congressional races. Another push for this is coming from a bipartisan national organization called Americans for Campaign Reform: 603-227-0626, www.just6dollars.org.
