Get Big
Money Out
of Politics
and Restore
Democracy
Together, we are going to create a political system
which is based on the democratic principles of one
person - one vote - and end a corrupt system
which allows billionaires to buy elections. Yes. We
are going to overturn Citizens United, move to
public funding of elections.

Key Points
Restore the Voting Rights Act and overturn Citizens United.

End racist voter suppression and partisan gerrymandering.

Make Election Day a national holiday, secure automatic voter registration, and
guarantee the right to vote for every American over 18, including those
Americans currently incarcerated and those disenfranchised by a felony
conviction.

Abolish super PACs and replace corporate funding with publicly funded
elections that amplify small-doner donations.

Details
We have seen what happens when corporations and billionaires control our system of
government to protect their own profit and greed. The era of Wall Street billionaires
controlling our government and elections must come to an end, and we must take
back our democracy for the American people. Every American, regardless of income
and race, must have the freedom to exercise their constitutional right to vote. To make
sure every voter counts, we must:

Restore the Voting Rights Act.

Secure automatic voter registration for every American over 18.

Overturn Citizens United.

End racist voter suppression and partisan gerrymandering.

Abolish burdensome voter ID laws.

Re-enfranchise the more than 6 million Americans who have had their right to
vote taken away by a felony conviction, paid their debt to society, and deserve
to have their rights restored.

Make Election Day a national holiday.

Abolish super PACs.

Replace corporate funding and donations from millionaires and billionaires with
public funding of elections that amplifies small-dollar donations.
