Fighting Corruption

Political money corruption occurs in the presidency and in Congress where influence-seeking, big donors are rewarded with government decisions and actions. President Trump has abused his office to enrich himself and his family by billions of dollars so far in his second term.

  • We fight presidential, congressional and executive branch corruption.
  • We file complaints with and request investigations by the Justice Department and the Federal Election Commission challenging violations of the campaign finance laws by Democrats and Republicans. We challenge executive branch officials for abuses of office and for using public office for personal financial goal.
  • We support congressional investigations to prevent foreign interference in our elections and protect the integrity and honesty of elections.
  • We develop and advocate legislation to prevent the corrupting influence of big money in American politics and to prevent foreign governments from corrupting our elections.
