Don't let your retirement savings fuel secret election spending!


Corporations are already channeling unprecedented amounts of secret money into the 2016 elections. Even worse, they're doing it with our retirement savings.
From oil companies to defense contractors, big corporations that don't disclose their political spending depend on investments from Vanguard, which represents the retirement savings of millions of American families.
Investments from 401(k) retirement funds such as those managed by Vanguard are the lifeblood of every corporation on the stock market. For years, shareholders have filed hundreds of resolutions pushing corporations like these to disclose their political spending. But, unlike many other mutual funds, Vanguard has so far refused to support them.
As the largest manager of retirement savings in the country, Vanguard has the power -- and the obligation -- to combat Citizens United politics and special interest influence in our elections.
Send a message to Vanguard now to keep our retirement savings out of secret money politics.
