Democracy Loses When Big Money Wins!
Nonpartisan effort to get BIG money out of VA politics & end Citizens United.
Corps ≠ People | $$$ ≠ Free Speech

#Virginia is an outlier on a national scale when it comes to campaign finance law, placing no limits on the amount that corporations, wealthy individuals, and PACs can spend in our elections. Wanna help us return #powertothepeople? Take action at https://t.co/1OIifLuw8d

Seth Moulton's ads are bankrolled by private equity executives and a super PAC originally funded by Jeff Bezos.

Amazon is being sued by the FTC for rigging $20 billion worth of ads and faces hundreds of unfair labor practice cases nationwide.

BREAKING: Campaign Legal Center endorses new legislation to end pay-to-play pardon corruption, the No Payoffs For Pardons Act, introduced by @SenSchumer and other congressional leaders today. More from CLC Executive Director Adav Noti: 1/

In NYT Mag, @chashomans has a good article on Trump's self-enrichment and corruption.

He should know that the Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity Act, intro'd Aug. 2018, would require presidents & VPs to divest. The ethics bill has never had a hearing.

With several instances just in the 2026 election cycle, it’s clear that using pop-up super PACs to conceal election spending is becoming an increasingly common tactic for wealthy special interests to hide their influence in elections.

Shameful! Great reporting by @Sludge

[David Moore @ppolitics]

Prominent Democratic PR and law firms are tied to surprising "pop-up" dark money nonprofits that fed the giant Future Forward. Names in latest, pulled from new tax filings:

The 'Dark Money' Web Behind the Biden-Harris Campaign Is Finally Coming Into View https://t.co/HpU9XckPsX

[BigMoneyOutVA @MoneyOutVA]

Sickening! Thanks to @davidsirota and the @LeverNews for their good reporting. We need citizen activists like those in @EndPACorruption to actively raise their voice against this type of corruption!!!

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

How corporate Dems & their donors are trying to turn Platner’s withdrawal into a corporate coup that ignores the policy demands of the largest primary vote in Maine’s history.

A fascinating look at those turning a crisis into oligarchs’ opportunity 👇 https://t.co/QRA1NoBXbG

[Campaign Legal Center @CampaignLegal]

“Pop-up” super PACs are a particularly insidious way to prevent voters from accessing accurate info about election spending, and they're often deployed at the direction of wealthy special interests. Congress and the FEC can put an end to this practice. https://t.co/tvF5GltL8j

[American Promise @usapromise]

.@washingtonpost “Billionaire Nation” series shows how money is reshaping politics, with billions in elections and millions in single races — raising the question: whose voices are heard?

[BigMoneyOutVA @MoneyOutVA]

@harrisonjaime Seriously, this is what’s problem with the Democratic Party. You can’t ask for absolute loyalty and then give nothing back for downstate candidates.

[Brennan Center @BrennanCenter]

A new Brennan Center survey finds widespread voter support across parties for key anticorruption reforms, including new limits on money in elections and stronger protections against self-dealing by high-ranking government officials.

[BigMoneyOutVA @MoneyOutVA]

Yup, this case has the potential to open up and aggravate our already horrendous problem with money and politics

[American Promise @usapromise]

A Supreme Court decision in NRSC v. FEC is expected any day now.

American Promise believes voters and their elected representatives should decide the role of money in politics.

Stay tuned Monday for an important update.

[BigMoneyOutVA @MoneyOutVA]

Seriously embarrassing!

[David Moore @ppolitics]

You might be wondering why the DNC is so maladroit, commissioning a flawed 2024 autopsy and then burying it.

Reformers have proposed DNC fixes for the past decade to boost accountability. The proposals have been blocked by DNC chairs like Jaime Harrison.

[BigMoneyOutVA @MoneyOutVA]

Yes, it’s outrageous. We need good government legislation including campaign finance limits in Pennsylvania. peaceful civil disobedience is needed & I was happy to be arrested through the march on Harrisburg @EndPACorruption. let’s start screaming, loud and clear. #peoplepower

[Stephen Caruso @StephenJ_Caruso]

New: Sports betting firms and skills game have spent $8.1 million and counting on Pennsylvania primaries, mostly for or against three GOP state senators. It's the latest in a war over both gambling laws and the ideology of the Senate Republican caucus.

[MarchOnHarrisburg @EndPACorruption]

The end result of our two party system is a bizarre Stockholm Syndrome where voters constantly defend their own abusive party against the other party.
(And yes, any party that lets 800 people a day die from poverty in the USA is abusive)

[American Promise @usapromise]

.@nytimes highlights Buckley v. Valeo (1976), which shaped today’s campaign finance system — amplifying the influence of big money.

We're restoring people's voices in elections.

[BigMoneyOutVA @MoneyOutVA]

VA should learn from PA/tactics of @EndPACorruption. Leaders from both parties won't let good governance bills be passed because incumbents benefit from status quo.This requires non-violent civil disobedience!Proud to have been arrested! @ssurovell @SpeakerDonScott @DelCiaPrice85

[Nancy Morgan @nancyruthmorgan]

At the PA capital before we were arrested. Here's a shout out📢👍 for @EndPACorruption & the 4 day march and a non-violent day of action at the Capital. Both parties benefit from the status quo. Let's tell them that this is WRONG! #peoplepower.

[BigMoneyOutVA @MoneyOutVA]

Indeed. Whose side are they on? The people or the billionaires? Pennsylvania showed the world the need for civic courage, and engagement to hold our legislators accountable.

[tirzah christopher @tirzahchristoph]

They are singing:
“Joe Pittman and McClinton
Matt Bradford and Kim Ward
All let our good bills die unread
Neglected and ignored - -
Which side are you on?”

[Campaign Legal Center @CampaignLegal]

Congress can and must act to enact nationwide protections against racial and partisan discrimination in redistricting. States can also adopt their own safeguards to ensure that voters are shielded from discrimination even when federal protections falter. https://t.co/ZYrxhUr1UU

[David Moore @ppolitics]

NEW: Another Democratic dark money network with ties to billionaires Stephen Mandel and Reid Hoffman is funneling millions to Democratic races. Report by @donnydonny, including states where the secretive nonprofit is sending $$:
