Stacy Cossey is currently the volunteer Spokane Organizer for WAmend.  She was an active signature gatherer in last year’s campaign and this year is organizing volunteers as well as signature gathering.  She is a member of the Steering Committee and Executive Committee.

Stacy was a Financial Consultant for 27 years at a major Wall Street firm.  It was the  sub-prime crisis that helped her see the game behind Wall Street’s hype which inspired her to get all of her clients out of the market before the 08-09 crash.  Coming to terms with a reality that was significantly different than the story Wall Street has told was personally and professionally profound.

Now she feels political activism and her personal spiritual journey is the best therapy for the world we live in.

Initiative 735 will make Washington the 18th state to ask Congress to overturn Citizens United. — We are a local grassroots movement with no big out-of-state donors.

Initiative 735 doesn’t change the tax code and won’t affect your wallet. It’s about taking a principled stand to take power over elections back from the federal government.

in 2010, the US Supreme Court ruled in Citizens United v FEC that corporations, unions and special interests can spend unlimited amounts of money to advocate for or against political candidates. It has led to obscene amounts of money being poured into elections. It’s part of the reason why the amount spent on elections by campaigns and outside groups grew 555% from 1984 to 2014!
