• Superdelegates: Let the voters decide
    Bernie won New Hampshire. And by a hair, Hillary won Iowa. In other words, there's a long Democratic primary ahead, possibly fought all the way to the convention. But there's a problem: There are 712 superdelegates—made up of Democratic elected officials and other prominent party leaders—who have the power to tip the scales, potentially shifting the vote at the convention to whomever they choose. This process is undemocratic and fundamentally unfair to Democratic primary voters. In 2008, when the primary looked like it could boil down to superdelegates, MoveOn launched a similar campaign calling on the superdelegates to hold off making their decisions until the voters had spoken. Now, as we face a similarly contested primary, it's critical that we speak out again for the integrity of our voting process. Democracy only works when the votes of the people—not the decision of a small number of elites—are what determines the outcome of elections.

  • Oregon Senate Candidates: take the #fixdemocracy pledge!
    As a native Oregonian, I am affected by the State of our democracy. Massive corporations have hijacked our electorate and have built an insidious machine of influence and corruption. Oregon Senate candidates have the ability to voice support for campaign finance reforms, to reject corporate influence, and to take back control of our democracy.

  • Fix Democracy in Maryland
    I believe our government should be independent of corporate interest. In order to have our Representatives truly represent the Maryland people, they cannot be taking money from fossil fuel companies.

  • Fix Democracy in Virginia
    I'm a local Virginia resident who is concerned about the amount of fossil fuel money in Virginia politics. I believe we should be skeptical of off-shore drilling in the Atlantic, and in order to have our Representatives truly represent the Virginian people, they cannot be taking money from fossil fuel companies.

  • Challenge to Members of U. S. Congress: Join the Fight Against Government Corruption
    This issue should concern all Americans. Getting moneyed interests out of our election process is the only way that we will ever be able to have fair elections. When elections are bought, it hurts everyone except those who bought them and those who sold them. We must fight back.

  • Abolish The Emergency Management Law in Michigan
    Emergency Management is an unjust law in Michigan. In 2012 Michigan voters rejected Public Act 4 (Michigan Proposal 1) by a percentage of 53% No votes and 47% Yes votes. A few months later the Michigan Republican House and Senate passed a new law, Public Act 436 in its place. My city , Pontiac, MI has been stripped of its assets: Fire, Water, Police, Department of Public Works and Lighting. Currently the city retirees pensions are being targeted. This law should be abolished. This is the same law that brought the water crisis to Flint, Michigan.

  • Got Nothin To Hide Hillary? #ReleaseTheTranscripts
    The American people have already bailed out Wall Street once, the last thing we need is a President who is unwilling or unable to stand up to the powerful financial industry. THEREFORE, in the interests of transparency and accountability, we call on Hillary Clinton to immediately release the full transcripts of her paid speeches to Wall Street banks from 2013 to 2015. Until she does so, the American people simply cannot trust her word alone that she will get tough with very Banks that have paid her so much money. --------- LETTER TO Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton You have pledged to take on the Wall Street Banks who wrecked our economy, and yet you've taken huge speaking fees from the very same institutions. Please prove to the American people that you tell the bankers the same thing you say on a debate stage: immediately release the transcripts of your paid speeches to Wall Street.

  • Stop ALEC's Constitutional Conspiracy
    It's the biggest threat to democracy that nobody is talking about. The same Big Money forces buying our elections are trying to rewrite our Constitution -- and they’ve almost succeeded. They're working with groups like ALEC (the corporate lobby disguised as a charity) to ram a so-called "constitutional convention" through state legislatures. Exploiting obscure provisions of Article V of our Constitution, they'd grant delegates unprecedented and unlimited power with zero checks or balances. In other words: political ideologues could enact their entire agenda without voter input -- costing the rest of us our fundamental rights and liberties. This ALEC-led campaign has already succeeded in 27 of the 34 states they need. And, they’ve got the money and organization to go over the top this year. That means we'll be fighting back in states like South Carolina, Wisconsin, Virginia, and more -- and we want you on our side. We can’t afford to stand by and watch Big Money shred our Constitution. Take our pledge so we’ll be ready to fight back.
