The moment has come: on April 7th, Congress will vote on the Clean Record bill. Either they'll remove corrupt and criminal politicians from Brazilian politics forever, or they'll decide to preserve the worst of them at our whole nation's expense.

This is the final moment to press our Congressmen to vote for clean politics in Brazil -- let’s sign the petition at the link below, it will be delivered to directly to Congress:
