Common Cause fordert „Nein“-Stimme zum sogenannten Gleichstellungsgesetz

Common Cause fordert alle Mitglieder des US-Repräsentantenhauses auf, mit „Nein“ zu stimmen, wenn der sogenannte „Equal Representation Act“ (HR 7109) am späten Nachmittag zur Abstimmung kommt. Der Gesetzesentwurf würde das US Census Bureau daran hindern, seiner verfassungsmäßigen Aufgabe nachzukommen, alle zehn Jahre die Bevölkerung in den Vereinigten Staaten im Rahmen der Volkszählung zu erfassen. Der Gesetzesentwurf ignoriert außerdem die Verfassung.

Salon/Yahoo! News: “Imbalance of power”: Expert says Stormy Daniels’ damning testimony may be “very damaging” to Trump

Watchdog group Common Cause filed a complaint claiming the payment was an “in-kind contribution” to Trump’s campaign, but the FEC failed to support their general counsel’s recommendation to investigate amid partisan deadlock.

Cohen ultimately pleaded guilty to election finance violations, and said the Trump Organization reimbursed him.

Inside Sources (Op-Ed): Michigan Redistricting Shows What States Can Achieve with People, Not Politicians

But it’s not just blue California. Michigan, four other states and 82 jurisdictions throughout the country have moved to independent redistricting. Why? Because voters should have the power to choose their leaders, not the other way around. And because voters should be able to participate in decisions that will affect the future for themselves and their families for the next decade.

In state after state, people are deciding whether they want to allow elected leaders to put their power and partisanship above the people’s...

Los Angeles Times (Op-Ed): Is the Los Angeles City Council serious about ethics reform or wasting an opportunity?

The barrage of scandals at L.A. City Hall has created a once-in-a-generation opportunity to clean up Los Angeles government. It should not be squandered with half-fixes. The reform package the City Council approves, which will have to be passed by voters in November, should give the Ethics Commission the independence it needs to hold officials accountable to the people they represent.

To meet the moment, the City Council must cede power for the greater good.

Big ag’s influence on state politics is “endemic”, according to Gavin Geis from Common Cause Nebraska, a non-partisan elections watchdog.

“The big money spent on lobbying and campaigns by corporate agriculture has played a major role in resisting stronger regulation – despite clear signals such as high levels of nitrates in our groundwater and cancers in rural communities that we need more oversight for farmers across the board,” said Geis.

Forbes: FCC Votes To Restore Net Neutrality: A Win For Consumers And Democracy

Former FCC Commissioner and Common Cause Special Adviser Michael Copps shared his perspective on the importance of reinstating net neutrality: “If I weren't out of the country today, I would be personally at the FCC jumping up and down, saluting the majority for reinstituting the network neutrality rules that were so foolishly eliminated by the previous Commission.”

Copps has been a staunch advocate for an open Internet for over two decades, emphasizing that the reinstated rules are not only moderate but have previously been...

USA Today: Nebraska removes two-year waiting period for felons to vote

RISE is among the 31 member groups that make up the Nebraska Voting Rights Restoration Coalition, which counts Common Cause Nebraska among its members. Gavin Geis, the Executive Director, says restoring voting rights helps reduce recidivism by creating stronger community ties.

"It's a way of engaging people in their communities that was cut off before," Geis said. "So beyond getting to vote on who represents you, I think this helps tie people back into their neighbors and their community in a way that will hopefully reduce the...

Orlando Sentinel: Judges urged to reconsider Florida federal redistricting case

Attorneys for groups such as Common Cause Florida and the Florida NAACP and other plaintiffs filed a motion Wednesday urging a three-judge panel to look again at whether the redistricting plan was passed in 2022 with a racially discriminatory motive.

Wednesday’s motion for reconsideration said the judges incorrectly found that DeSantis’ intent “was all but irrelevant.” The lawsuit alleged that the map involved intentional discrimination and violated the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment and 15th Amendment. The 14th...

FCC stimmt für Wiederherstellung der Netzneutralität

Heute hat die Federal Communications Commission (FCC) für die Wiederherstellung der Netzneutralität gestimmt. Damit erhält die FCC wieder die Befugnis, Breitbandanbieter gemäß Titel II des Communications Act zu beaufsichtigen und den Schutz des offenen Internets durchzusetzen. Die Open Internet Order wurde während der Trump-Regierung trotz weitverbreiteter öffentlicher Opposition aufgehoben – darunter auch Kommentare, die während des Verfahrens gegen die umstrittene Aufhebung durch die Behörde abgegeben wurden.
