Dear John,

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.
