FOOTNOTES:

We invite you to remain peaceful and kind.

We are speaking loud and clear for democracy in a way that is peaceful, unifying, and stress-reducing, while empowering the people at Common Cause  to do a job they are uniquely qualified to do; They are already addressing the situations and events that continue to be so distressing to us. They have a 50 year history of fighting and winning for democracy both nationally and in local jurisdictions, through the courts, through legislation, through people's movements, and in every way imaginable. They also collaborate with other organizations creating a coalition of pro-democracy forces to insure that all Americans can be heard. After all, having a say in one's future is an aspiration we all share, and democracy is the almost-perfect process for securing and maintaining our voice.

Do more for our common cause?  

There are many other ways to help, including donating and volunteering, but the critical first thing to do is to JOIN us at Common Cause, share the jingles, and stand together for democracy.  Like any march, there is strength in numbers.  But unlike a march which is powerful in its own right, support for Common Cause keeps working after you've turned around and gone home, 365 days a year.

Other organizations.

There are multiple pro-democracy groups, progressive, conservative, independent, left-leaning, right-leaning, partisan and nonpartisan, all fighting for our democracy. We at Jingles For Democracy understand that Common Cause supports all efforts to keep American democracy strong.

Democracy is for everyone

The multiple structures and complex systems of music are an unseen and magical unifying force, as are the multiple structures and complex systems that we have endearingly nicknamed democracy for over 250 years. "Endearing," because it is the only social-political process that embraces all of us and directs us to find common ground. The founders composed this genius symphony and gifted it to all generations in all administrations to keep it tuned and resonating. It's your fragile right to have a voice. Always stand up for democracy. The underpinning to prosperity has always been democracy. Our country has fought hard to assure other people’s voices can be heard.

Also remember this: All of our elected officials were put into place through this process called democracy. It provides us — the citizens — a voice through our votes and our declarations.  The underpinning to prosperity has always been democracy. Our country has fought hard to assure other people’s voices can be heard.
