Putting Elections Back in Your Hands
We are motivated by these simple ideas:
Stop the Status Quo
Until there is a genuine political cost for defending that status quo, it will be impossible to elect champions or move policy at the federal level.
Re-Establish Trust
Elections are fundamentally about trust, and the current role of money-in-politics is corrosive to the public trust.
Inspire Action
It is possible to inspire frustrated Americans to vote on this issue and to move from resignation to resolve.
What We're For:
Citizen-funded Elections
Replace the dependence candidates have on large donations and independent expenditures with support they find in their own communities.
Robust Coordination Rules
Establish meaningful rules that separate outside groups from candidates. ‘Independent’ should mean just that: independent.
Transparency and Disclosure
Part of evaluating whether you trust a message is knowing who paid for it.
Enforcement
We need an independent, non-partisan enforcement agency instead of a bi-partisan incumbent protection agency.
