Featured – American Promise

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.

Campaign Finance Roundup

Campaign Finance Roundup

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!

What is Dark Money?

The term “dark money” comes up a lot when discussing campaign finance and political spending. It conjures up images of backroom deals and piles of money secretly changing hands. And as it turns out, that’s pretty close to the truth.
