- AMERICA’S ELECTIONS HAVE BEEN HIJACKED BY BIG MONEY
In America, money doesn’t just talk-it manipulates our elections. From $2 million House races to $20 million Senate seats, big money from corporations, Super PACs, and billionaires holds the power. In a post-Citizens United world, elections are more about who has the deepest pockets than who represents the people. This broken system leaves everyday voters in the dust.
But we’re fighting back. City by city, state by state, we’re passing anti-corruption legislation, ending gerrymandering, and getting dark money out of politics-all to give voters better choices and create a system that works for all Americans.

RepresentUs bring together conservatives, progressives, and everyone in between to pass powerful state and local laws that fix our broken elections and stop political bribery. We’ve passed over 180 anti-corruption laws, from anti-gerrymandering and ranked choice voting to sweeping ethics and transparency laws. Our strategy is central to dismantling the root causes of inequities in our Senate, Congress, and beyond. We fight for democracy reform to end political corruption, extremism, and gridlock. Take ACTION today!

American politics could be the economy of a tiny country. It has to stop
Repealing citizens united is step one.
Exactly. No one who benefits from Citizens United would like having such a thing that allows democracy cheaters to cheat democracy even more. September 21, 2024, 2:18pm
...So maybe we (The People) should be backing a 3rd party like The Green Party that doesn't take any PAC/corporate money - but just small-dollar donations from every day workers...then we'd be represented finally!
Yes! Politicians should be answerable to voters instead of responding to the incentives to do what big donors want.
