The Need for Campaign Finance Reform.

An amendment for 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 establish lasting campaign finance reform.

How Does Campaign Finance Reform Impact YOU?

U.S. campaign spending continues to spiral upward to record numbers, climbing to $14 billion for the 2020 federal election 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.

What We Can Do About It?

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.

American Promise is working with Americans across the country to advance the For Our Freedom Amendment and establish lasting campaign finance reform.

Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) recently introduced the Ending Corporate Influence on Elections Act, which would reverse the Citizens United decision and reduce the ability of corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money in our elections. The bill has created conflict between Hawley and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), whose allies run the Senate Leadership Fund Super PAC, which takes in unlimited contributions from corporations. Shocked? We're not!
