The Fight Washington Corruption Pledge

  • Overturn Citizens United:
    Amend the Constitution to protect America from unlimited corporate spending on our elections by overturning the Supreme Court's decision giving corporations the same First Amendment rights as people.
  • Fair elections now:
    Pass the Fair Elections Now Act, providing public financing to candidates who are supported by small donors so they can compete with corporate-backed and self-funded candidates.
  • Lobbyist Reform Act:
    Pass legislation to end the overwhelming influence of corporate lobbyists by: prohibiting individuals from switching from corporate lobbying to government service, or vice-versa, within a 5-year period; stopping corporate lobbyists from giving gifts and providing free travel to government officials; and posting online the attendees and content of all meetings between lobbyists and government officials.

Endorse the Pledge

Lobbyists and the big corporations they represent have run roughshod over our democracy for too long. That's why, this year, people from across the country are joining together to force politicians to work for the rest of us.

Endorse this slate of ideas and join the other 98% of us--who don't have lobbyists representing us in DC--to send a strong signal to candidates and elected officials that, this year, business as usual is over.
