Anti-Corruption & Accountability: Working For The People
We deserve a government that is as honest and hardworking as the people it represents.
For government to serve the people, it has to be accountable to the people and no one else. But Supreme Court rulings like Citizens United have let billionaires and special interests buy unlimited influence, so they can get their way at the rest of our expense.
Common Cause is the leading watchdog group calling out corruption where we see it and passing laws that put power in the hands of everyday people.
That means demanding common-sense limits on money in politics, transparency into who’s funding lobbying and campaigns, strong rules to stop government corruption, and small-dollar public financing to give ordinary people a fighting chance against Big Money.
Your financial support helps us make an impact by holding power accountable and strengthening democracy.
