End corporate corruption of our democracy by supporting the Grassroots Democracy Act!
We are calling on you to co-sponsor the Grassroots Democracy Act (GDA) so that our government is no longer dependent on (and responsive to) the tiniest slice of America that currently funds your campaigns. The GDA will bring more people into the election process and allow you to do your job of representing the people, not the special interests.
Why is this important?
Washington is awash in Big Money and it’s time we do something about it. From creating jobs to the budget, Big Money warps Congress’ priorities and erodes public trust. Both parties are guilty.
We must break the dependence on huge campaign donations so that Congress can focus on the people’s priorities -- not special interests. The Government by the People Act will help give a voice to everyday people.
We need you to become a citizen co-sponsor of the Government by the People Act (H.R. 20).
The fact is, Capitol Hill is full of well-intentioned people who came to Washington with noble goals and deeply held principles - most chose this path out of a strong desire to better their community and the broader American public. But the need for non-stop fundraising corrupts our system of government. It forces good people to shift their focus away from their constituents and towards finding the next big campaign check.
If we are to reclaim our Republic for the people, we need a movement by those people -- it's up to you to start it.
