In recent years, the United States has seen threats to our democracy grow. Voters’ confidence in our elections and our institutions continues to drop at a worrying rate. If something is not done soon to restore confidence in our democracy and protect it from growing threats, then our system of government remains at risk.
Stand Up Republic supports pro-democracy legislation that creates meaningful reforms and strengthens our democracy. That is why we are supporting the For the People Act, a comprehensive reform package aimed at strengthening American democracy.
Here’s a snapshot of what the For the People Act would do:
To protect our elections and voters’ access to the polls, the For the People Act will:
*
Protect
voters’
ability
to
vote-by-mail
and
to
vote
early
*
Require
a
mandatory
paper
trail
for
all
votes
*
End
gerrymandering
through
non-partisan
redistricting
*
Strengthen
cybersecurity
*
Require
campaigns
to
report
any
foreign
contacts
To improve Executive Branch oversight, the For the People Act will:
*
Require
the
president
and
vice
president
to
divest
from
their
financial
interests,
which
pose
a
conflict
of
interest
*
Require
president
and
vice
president
to
release
their
tax
returns
*
Improve
ethics
enforcement
To strengthen campaign finance laws, For the People Act will:
*
Make
political
advertisements
more
transparent,
especially
digital
political
ads
*
Prohibit
foreign
nationals
from
purchasing
political
ads
*
Close
some
dark
money
loopholes
We need your help to make sure this important piece of legislation passes through Congress.
