A strong democracy requires transparency and accountability to voters. Our Virginia General Assembly got an F on this during the last General Assembly by either not allowing key common sense campaign finance bills to get a vote or even heard.  Let's tell our legislators that this is unacceptable to all voters, irrespective of political party.

Currently Virginia is ranked 46 out of 50 states in the 2020 Coalition for Integrity's SWAMP Index which measures transparency and accountability to voters. Meanwhile, federally, 50 years of Supreme Court rulings, culminating in the 2010 Citizens United ruling, have unleashed a flood of money into our elections from corporations and special interests which has stifled the voice of average voters. 2024 was the most expensive election on record, with $16 billion spent on the presidential race alone.

Let's all take easy action. How, you ask? We can send a message to our elected officials in Richmond.  Tell them that you are disappointed that campaign finance bills aren't being passed and that they should support reform bills that will be proposed in the 2025 session. We can also ask them to sign onto a letter supporting an amendment to the U.S. Constitution which allows the states and Congress to regulate election spending. Let's get Virginia on board with 21 other states who support the "For Our Freedom" constitutional amendment!

Why is this letter-writing platform important? Your elected officials might not listen to just one or two of us alone, but together we are stronger. We need your voices!!
