Verantwortung der Trump-Regierung
Donald Trump and his administration repeatedly try to undermine our democracy's core values and attack our rights. During this presidency, Common Cause will continue to take bold action to hold the Trump Administration accountable.
Donald Trump hat schamloses Fehlverhalten begangen – vom Machtmissbrauch und der Behinderung der Justiz über die Einmischung in unsere Wahlen bis hin zur Anstiftung zum tödlichen Angriff auf das US-Kapitol am 6. Januar 2021.
Common Cause hat sich bei jeder Gelegenheit für die Rechenschaftspflicht der Trump-Administration eingesetzt und seine beiden Amtsenthebungsverfahren unterstützt. Ziel dieser Bemühungen ist es, klarzustellen, dass niemand, auch nicht der aktuelle und der ehemalige Präsident, über dem Gesetz steht.

Petition: FIRE Elon Musk
Elon Musk is trying to run our government like it’s one of his companies. Our democracy deserves better.
We demand the immediate firing of Elon Musk from ANY position of influence within our government. Musk’s dangerous influence must end now.
It is time to restore power to the American people and ensure that decisions are made by those accountable to the people, not the wealthy elite.
Petition
Tell Congress: Protect birthright citizenship
Trump’s executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship would endanger millions of people born in this country and permanently reshape what it means to be an American.
The 14th Amendment is clear – and legal experts say Trump would likely need to pass a constitutional amendment through Congress to overrule it.
Congress must step up and REFUSE to help Trump shred our Constitution. We urge you to protect birthright citizenship and our 14th Amendment today.
