It’s time to repair our democracy

Dozens of issues are vying to be at the top of the agenda, but the sad truth is that until we fix America's corruption problem, all of them will be caught in the grip of partisanship and special interests.

Pamela, President-elect Biden is planning his first moves once in office – and he still hasn't pledged to fix America's corruption crisis. Dozens of issues are vying to be at the top of the agenda, but the sad truth is that until we fix America's corruption problem, all of them will be caught in the grip of partisanship and special interests. RepresentUs is bringing together conservatives, progressives, and everyone in between to make democracy reform Biden's first priority. Tell President-elect Biden to fix democracy first. Add your name right now. In the last four years, it became clear that checks and balances on the presidency have been chipped away, or honored by tradition rather than codified by law. President-elect Biden has a responsibility to restore trust in the office of the presidency. As much as people want to point the finger at one politician and believe that a new president is the solution, it's just not the case. The system itself is corrupt. Lobbyists still write our laws, politicians rig their voting districts to ensure re-election, and special interests pour millions into our elections. We can't wait any longer to fix our broken democracy. To make sure fighting corruption is a top priority for President-elect Biden's transition team, we need to speak out and show there's a public mandate to act. Will you add your name right now to our petition demanding the President-elect promise the American people that he will fix America's corruption crisis? Thank you for taking action to defend our democracy. - Jen Johnson Sent via ActionNetwork.org.
