The role of money in our political system is a growing and corrupting influence on American society and is at the root of many of our nation's gravest problems. Simply put, money is ruining our democracy and our leaders' ability to govern.
There is broad support among the American public - left, right, and center - for a solution to this problem, and there is a solution: A Constitutional amendment to change our electoral system.
We urge the President, Congress, citizens, and all of our leaders to support a meaningful, prolonged campaign to amend the U.S. Constitution to significantly limit private spending on political campaigns, require term limits for elected officials, empower non-partisan drawing of electoral district lines, and implement uniform election standards across states.
