Oregon Kampagne
Overcoming Big Money Influence
Common Cause Oregon is strengthening every voice, not just the voices of the wealthy few.
Geld in der Politik
Citizens United invited huge sums of dark money into our democracy. We're demanding reforms that put ordinary people ahead of billionaire campaign donors.
Americans know that money has too much influence in our political system. That is why we advocate for money in politics solutions that empower small-dollar donors to make an impact in campaigns, require disclosure of all campaign money raised and spent, remove the financial barriers stopping everyday people from running for office, and hold elected officials and wealthy special interests accountable to voters.
Even with the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens United v. FEC, states and cities across the country are proving that we can improve our campaign finance system with laws that amplify the voices of everyday Americans.

Wehren Sie sich gegen den Einfluss des großen Geldes: Overturn Citizens United
Unternehmen, Interessengruppen und einige der reichsten Menschen des Landes geben Milliarden von Dollar aus, um die Wahlen von 2024 zu beeinflussen – und übertönen damit faktisch die Stimme der einfachen Amerikaner.
Aus diesem Grund fordere ich den Kongress auf, die verheerende Entscheidung des Obersten Gerichtshofs im Fall Citizens United aufzuheben – und außerdem den Freedom to Vote Act und den DISCLOSE Act zu verabschieden, um dem Big Money-Problem unseres Landes etwas entgegenzusetzen.
Petition
Wir brauchen einen ECHTEN Verhaltenskodex für den Obersten Gerichtshof
Der schwache, freiwillige „Verhaltenskodex“ des Obersten Gerichtshofs genügt unseren Anforderungen nicht. Wir fordern jetzt WIRKLICHE, durchsetzbare ethische Standards.
Der Kongress muss das Gesetz zur Ethik, Ablehnung und Transparenz des Obersten Gerichtshofs verabschieden und den strengstmöglichen Verhaltenskodex für unser höchstes Gericht schaffen.
Mit Ihrer finanziellen Unterstützung können wir etwas bewirken, indem wir Macht zur Rechenschaft ziehen und die Demokratie zu stärken.

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.

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.
