Governor Kate Brown has appointed a task force to consider new laws to protect Oregon from corruption and it’s specifically requested suggestions from RepresentUs volunteers, members, and supporters here in Oregon. This is a huge opportunity to make ourselves heard. Let’s make sure Governor Brown knows the public is firmly behind her efforts to clean up Oregon politics.
Will you add your name to tell Governor Brown to support an Oregon Anti-Corruption Act?
The American Anti-Corruption Act is model legislation that sets a standard for city, state, and federal laws that prevent money from corrupting American government. It fundamentally reshapes the rules of American politics and restores the People as the most important stakeholders in our political system. An Anti-Corruption Act has three primary outcomes:
- Stops political bribery by overhauling lobbying and ethics laws
- Ends secret money by dramatically increasing transparency
- Gives every voter a voice by creating citizen-funded elections
Together, we’re building a nationwide movement to fix corruption.
In communities across America, RepresentUs members are working together — conservatives, progressives, and everyone in between — to pass local Anti-Corruption Acts. Together, we’re leading the fight to protect our communities from the corruption that plagues Congress.
Every town, city, state, and county has a unique political makeup, so every Anti-Corruption Act is uniquely tailored to the needs of each community.
Local action, national political power.
Every municipal and state Anti-Corruption Act creates common-sense conflict of interest, ethics, transparency, and campaign finance laws. State Acts create the opportunity for federal candidates from that state to campaign on the anti-corrupt platform — accountable to their constituents, not special interests.
Candidates who win election on this platform have built-in incentive to champion Anti-Corruption in Washington (because that’s what got them elected). Every state we win puts us one crucial step closer to passing the American Anti-Corruption Act.
Communities across the country are passing Anti-Corruption Acts that make it illegal to purchase political influence, and put power back in the hands of the People. Oregon could be next, but only if we come together and demand it — add your name to tell Governor Brown to support and Oregon Anti-Corruption Act.
