Overcoming Big Money Influence
Common Cause Oregon is strengthening every voice, not just the voices of the wealthy few.
El dinero en la política
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.

Luchemos contra la influencia del gran dinero: derroquemos Citizens United
Las corporaciones, los grupos de intereses especiales y algunas de las personas más ricas del país están gastando miles de millones de dólares para influir en las elecciones de 2024, ahogando efectivamente las voces de los estadounidenses comunes.
Por eso, pido al Congreso que revoque la desastrosa decisión de la Corte Suprema en el caso Citizens United, y que también apruebe la Ley de Libertad de Voto y la Ley DISCLOSE, para luchar contra el problema del Gran Dinero en nuestro país.
Petición
Necesitamos un código de conducta REAL para la Corte Suprema
El débil y voluntario “código de conducta” de la Corte Suprema no está a la altura de lo que necesitamos. Exigimos ahora normas éticas REALES y aplicables.
El Congreso debe aprobar la Ley de Ética, Recusación y Transparencia de la Corte Suprema y crear el código de conducta más estricto posible para nuestro tribunal más alto.
Su apoyo financiero nos ayuda a generar un impacto al: Hacer que el poder rinda cuentas y fortalecer la democracia.

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.

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.
