Campaign for America's Future

The Campaign for America's Future website says, "Over 100 Prominent Americans—citizen activists and policy experts concerned about our country and our planet—joined together to launch and build the Campaign for America's Future. We are challenging the big money corporate agenda by encouraging Americans to speak up—to discuss and debate a new vision of an economy and a future that works for all of us."
