Campaign Finance – 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.

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.
