Big Sky, Big Money

press release: Financial contributions from huge donors definitely have an effect on how our elected officials vote—and it rarely benefits the rest of us.  This comes up in conversation nearly every day.  To help people better understand the situation and learn what they can do to combat the problem, Green County United to Amend is hosting a free screening of the PBS Frontline film “Big Sky, Big Money”.  Money, Politics and Intrigue in Montana mirror the corruption of democracy in Wisconsin and the nation.  We will show the 52-minute film on Wednesday, October 26, at 7 p.m. in the Village Hall Community Room, 319 2nd Street, New Glarus.

After the film, there will be discussion and a question-and-answer session.  We will talk about the advisory referendums that will be on November 8th ballot in the following Green County communities:

    Town of Cadiz

    Town of Decatur

    Town of Mt. Pleasant

    Town of New Glarus

    Village of Monticello

    Village of New Glarus

All citizens are invited to learn about the mission and goals of the movement of United to Amend and gain insight into how local referendums and resolutions can address the negative effects of Big Money on our political system. Refreshments will be provided.
