Stop the Waste: Demand an End to Taxpayer-Funded Political Ads

Taxpayer money should be used to benefit the people—not to fund political propaganda. Our latest findings reveal a shocking misuse of public funds by members of Congress. Despite their claims of cutting waste, many Representatives are exploiting the "franking privilege"—a budget item intended for official communications—to fund partisan political ads. This is not just unethical; it's a blatant abuse of taxpayer dollars.

Our 2024 Waste, Fraud, & Abuse Scorecard highlights the extent of this problem, particularly in the Middle Coast states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan. Some Representatives are spending nearly four times more than others, using taxpayer money to promote their political agendas instead of relying on campaign funds.

It's time to demand accountability. Sign this petition to urge Congress to put an end to the misuse of the franking privilege and protect our taxpayer dollars from being wasted on political ads.
