DETAILS:

We have seen what happens when corporations and billionaires control our system of government to protect their own profit and greed. The era of Wall Street billionaires controlling our government and elections must come to an end, and we must take back our democracy for the American people. Every American, regardless of income and race, must have the freedom to exercise their constitutional right to vote.

A Princeton University study found that: “Public opinion has near-zero impact on U.S. law”. We all know who controls our Congress, it is the elites, the big-money donor class to whom our politicians are actually accountable to, not us. Not working people, not the voters. Politicians on both sides have gerrymandered their paths to victory, making it to where the politicians choose their voters, and not the other way around.

Democracy has no vice. We must protect it against those who would see the dismantling of our institutions, the rise authoritarianism, and the targeting of minorities. WE ARE NOT OUTNUMBERED, we are only out organized. This campaign wants to change that so that we the people can see the changes we want to see in the world and in our communities.

KEY POINTS:

• Pass the American Anti-Corruption Act (AACA), which will make corruption ILLEGAL.

• Public funding of elections. Give every citizen a voucher for them to be able to give to their preferred political candidates, the more popular the candidate, the more donations they receive. We need to replace corporate funding and donations from millionaires and billionaires with public funding of elections that amplifies small-dollar donations.

• Restore the Voting Rights Act, and repeal the Supreme Courts decision of Citizens United.

• Make Election Day a national holiday.

• Secure automatic voter registration, and guarantee the right to vote for every American that is 18 years old and over.

• End partisan gerrymandering and racist voter suppression.

• Abolish burdensome voter ID laws.

• Re-enfranchise the more than 6 million Americans who have had their right to vote taken away by a felony conviction, paid their debt to society, and deserve to have their rights restored.

• A ban on Super PACs, and Lobbyists.

• Nationwide Public Ballot Initiatives, giving the people the right to petition and then directly vote on issues important to them.

• Ranked Choice Voting to allow 3rd party candidates an equal chance at winning.
