Pennsylvania State Pledge

I join the overwhelming majority of Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania, 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.

Pennsylvania & American Promise

Pennsylvania citizens are joining with Americans across the country to strengthen our nation against the corruption of money in politics, foreign interference, division, and dysfunction. We are using our voices to say that the decisions that matter in our state and our lives should be up to us.

In 2020 more than $14B was spent on state elections in the United States, the vast majority of it from a very small percentage of ultra-wealthy donors. To protect the right of Pennsylvania voters to make our own decisions and our way of life, we must stand together to end the flood of money drowning out our voices in local, State and Federal elections.

Our Progress in
Pennsylvania & America

American Promise is mobilizing a grassroots, volunteer-led effort to keep the issue of money in politics at the forefront of the political conversation in each state through media outreach, petition signing events, lobby days, civics education and much more. Here’s a timeline of our progress so far:

Voters and local representatives in nearly 1,000 cities and towns have met in town meetings and local councils to debate and pass resolutions to condemn the influence of unlimited money in elections and to advance the For Our Freedom Amendment.

Volunteer

Volunteering makes American Promise possible in Pennsylvania.

Across the nation, American Promise volunteers do the meaningful grassroots organizing work that drives our successful strategy, making a better future for us all. We offer resources and support to empower a nationwide network dedicated to ensuring every American has an equal voice in the decisions that affect our lives.

Volunteer opportunities include everything from talking with neighbors and colleagues to writing letters to the editor and gathering pledges from elected officials. No matter your skills or interests, you can meaningfully contribute to this critical work.

Testimonials

We believe in a strong democracy where government is accountable to the people it serves. We believe in a strong economy where companies compete based on the value they create in the marketplace. We believe in a political system based on checks and balances and an open exchange of ideas.

The excessive amount of money required to run for office, not only destroys the incentive structure of service, but it also prohibits our elected officials from doing their jobs and making the compromises required for legislating and governing.

Powerful out-of-state special interest groups weaken the voice of Pennsylvania voters by spending millions of dollars to gain an outsized influence on policy and legislation. Pennsylvanians can take this opportunity to lead in the fight to get this questionable money out of politics.
