The Need for Campaign Finance Reform.

The For Our Freedom Amendment will allow the states and Congress to set reasonable limits on election and campaign spending. This amendment has supermajority support Americans of all political stripes, who increasingly are left out of policy conversations as wealthy donors use campaign spending to control the political dialogue. As a cross-partisan, citizen-driven organization, American Promise is working with Americans across the country to advance the For Our Freedom Amendment and establish lasting campaign finance reform.

Sign the Citizen Pledge to join 75% of Americans who support a constitutional amendment for campaign finance reform.

The Citizen Pledge

  • I join the overwhelming majority of Americans to demand an amendment to the United States Constitution to end the domination of big money in politics and give voice to all Americans.
  • I will stand with all Americans, without regard to party or other differences, and urge all candidates and elected officials to do the same, in order to pass and ratify such a constitutional amendment as soon as possible.

The Cost of Electoral Campaigns is Skyrocketing

U.S. campaign spending continues to surge to record numbers, climbing to more than 16.7 billion for the 2022 elections and hitting close to $500 million in individual U.S. Senate races such as the 2021 election in Georgia. As billions of dollars overwhelm the voices of average Americans, the political system shifts to favor the wealthy few and upends the foundational principles on which our nation was founded, causing Americans across the political spectrum to call for campaign finance reform.

Our Proposed Amendment

A Common Ground Issue Among All Americans

Americans are coming together in support of campaign finance reform to strengthen our nation against the influx of campaign spending and the subsequent inequality, division, and dysfunction. Out-of-control campaign spending is not a Democratic or Republican issue: With more than 75% of Americans supporting a constitutional amendment for campaign finance reform, it’s clear that establishing reasonable limits on campaign spending is an American issue.

Sign The Pledge
Our Proposed Amendment

An Amendment to Restore Freedom

Because of a series of Supreme Court rulings including the 2010 Citizens United ruling, we cannot legislate campaign finance reform without a constitutional amendment to guarantee our rights to do so. An amendment to enable campaign finance reform has support from a vast majority of Americans of all political stripes, who increasingly are left out of policy conversations as wealthy donors use campaign spending to control the political dialogue. As a cross-partisan, citizen-driven organization, American Promise is working with Americans across the country to advance the For Our Freedom Amendment and build the foundation for lasting campaign finance reform.

Stay up-to-date with this movement to get big money out of politics.
