Hinihikayat ng Mga Grupo ang Mga Pagbabago sa Census upang Tumpak na Bilangin ang Mga Populasyon ng Bilangguan Para sa Muling Pagdistrito

Ngayon, hinikayat ng Common Cause at ng Prison Policy Initiative ang US Census Bureau na baguhin kung paano nito binibilang ang mga populasyon ng bilangguan bawat dekada. Ang paggamit ng Bureau ng differential privacy, ang sinadyang pagbubuhos ng hindi tumpak na impormasyon sa data ng populasyon, ay lumilikha ng mga hindi kinakailangang maling pagbilang sa data na ginagamit ng mga opisyal ng estado at lokal para sa muling pagdistrito. Sa isang liham kay Direktor Robert L. Santos at iba pang matataas na opisyal, binigyang-diin ng mga grupo na ang mga populasyon ng mga pasilidad ng pagwawasto ay magagamit na sa publiko at ang pagkakaiba ng privacy ay...

New York Times: A tabloid publisher will pay a $187,500 F.E.C. penalty for its Trump hush-money payment.

New York Times: A tabloid publisher will pay a $187,500 F.E.C. penalty for its Trump hush-money payment.

Paul S. Ryan, Common Cause’s vice president of policy and litigation, said he had mixed feelings about the outcome. While he felt “vindicated” by the fine, he said, he was frustrated that Mr. Trump, whom he called “the mastermind of the illegal scheme,” had not been held accountable. 

Mr. Cohen, who has served time in prison in part for his involvement in the payments, said during his trial that the transaction had been part of an effort to cover up Mr. Trump’s “dirty deeds.” Mr. Pecker had agreed to an immunity...

Wall Street Journal: National Enquirer Parent, Ex-CEO Fined for Breaking Election Law in 2016 Campaign

The FEC investigation of American Media stemmed from a 2018 complaint filed by Common Cause, a Washington, D.C.-based watchdog group. The complaint also alleged violations by Mr. Trump and his campaign, but the FEC has taken no action against the former president.
Paul S. Ryan, vice president of policy and litigation at Common Cause, expressed frustration that Mr. Trump has faced no repercussions for the hush money paid on his behalf. “The mastermind of this illegal operation has not been punished, has not been held accountable,” he...

FEC Fines Tabloid Company But Not Trump for Karen McDougal “Hush” Payment

FEC Fines Tabloid Company But Not Trump for Karen McDougal “Hush” Payment

Today’s news of a $187,500 fine for AMI’s knowing and willful violation of campaign finance law is a win for democracy and for Common Cause. But the FEC’s failure to hold former-President Trump and his campaign accountable for this violation lays bare the dysfunction at the FEC. Less than a month ago we learned that GOP Commissioners had similarly blocked enforcement against Trump for the illegal Stormy Daniels hush payment. And the agency has again shown itself incapable of fully enforcing the campaign finance laws passed by Congress.

USA Today (Op-Ed): Democratic walkout blocks Texas voter bill – for now. Only Congress can save voting rights.

We cannot afford to preserve the filibuster if it costs us our democracy. Congress must pass the For the People Act and move quickly to restore and advance the Voting Rights Act, so that our country can finally realize its greatest promise of government for the people and by the people.

“This is an indication of wanting, basically, to have a man inside who can undermine,” said Sylvia Albert, the director of voting and elections at Common Cause, a government watchdog group. “Clearly these are not people who believe in the rule of law. And people who run our government need to follow the rule of law. So it is concerning that they are running.”

“The choice to push this legislation forward in the dark, despite overwhelming opposition from the people of Texas, is about the politicians in power doing everything they can to manipulate the outcome of future elections to keep themselves in power,” said Anthony Gutierrez, executive director of Common Cause Texas.

The For the People Act would break the gridlock by reducing the number of commissioners from an even six to five, with checks and balances in place to ensure that no more than two commissioners are from the same political party. These safeguards against ties would align the commission with almost all other agencies charged with administering the law.

Republican Senators Turn Backs on Nation, Refuse to Even Debate Creating January 6th Insurrection Commission

Today, all but six of the Republican Senators turned their backs on democracy and on their nation. History will not be kind to those Senators who voted against even allowing a debate on a bill to create an independent 9/11-style commission to investigate the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by an armed mob bent on overturning the results of the 2020 election by force. That attack left 5 dead and scores injured – including more than 130 law enforcement officers who suffered injuries while defending the Capitol and the members of...

The Guardian: ‘A ticking timebomb’: Democrats’ push for voting rights law faces tortuous path

“It’s a false choice. It has to be both,” said Stephen Spaulding, senior counsel for public policy and government affairs at Common Cause, a government watchdog group. “They’re both critically important pieces of legislation and it’s a false choice to say I’m for the other and not for this. Because only together will we fully rebalance the state of voting in America to favor access.”

Advocates are heartened by polling that shows the measure is extremely popular and the fact that Democrats have held together so...

Common Cause is urging every member of the U.S. Senate to vote for cloture on the motion to proceed and support the House-passed H.R. 3233 to establish a 9/11-style commission to investigate the violent attack January 6th on the United States Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The letter notes that Common Cause plans to score this cloture vote on the motion to proceed to this legislation to create the “National Commission to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the United States Capitol...

“This bill will enable security for incumbency,” Aunna Dennis, the executive director of Common Cause Georgia, told me. “It really tramples the person who wants to be the community change agent from becoming an elected official through the legislature, because it’s allowing big donors to create war chests for incumbents.”

Press Release

On the Anniversary of the Murder of George Floyd

Change is long overdue to a system that has delivered unequal justice to far too many in our state for far too long. In the year since the tragic murder of George Floyd, we have seen the conviction of Mr. Floyd’s murderer, but Minnesotans are still waiting for justice. Minnesotans deserve real reforms to prevent what happened to Mr. Floyd, and others, from ever happening again. Our legislative leaders must make commonsense policing reforms a top priority and they must not come up short again.
