The issues we select to provide a voting bloc platform for are supported by a clear majority of Americans but face a significant and stifling donor opposition. We call these issues Donor Controlled Issues and believe they provide the best opportunity for voters to directly confront and fight the influence of money on our government. 

Voting Blocs:

End Legalized Corruption
The current electoral system promotes legalized corruption by allowing wealthy donors to spend unlimited amounts of money to get their favored candidates elected.  Join this voting bloc to take a stand against the open corruption of our government.
 
Candidates can earn our bloc of votes on this issue by:
  • Supporting meaningful campaign finance reform laws.
  • Open disclosure of all sources of revenue and donors.
  • Publicly identify and list top donors by dollar amount.
  • Reject money or support from any non transparent sources.
Mandatory Background Checks for Gun Purchases
Nearly all Americans (90%) support background checks for gun purchases yet our government refuses to act.  Candidates must be held accountable on this issue.

Candidates can earn our bloc of votes on this issue by:
  • Supporting a law requiring universal background checks on all gun purchases.
  • Rejecting money or support from any group that opposes universal background checks.
  • Open disclosure of all sources of revenue and donors

Label GMO Foods
Nearly all Americans (93%) support the labeling of foods that have been genetically modified or engineered.  Many large food corporations, nervous about informed consumers rejecting their products, are fighting against labeling.  If you would like the right to know what you are buying and consuming please consider joining our voting bloc.

Candidates can earn our bloc of votes on this issue by:
  • Supporting the labeling of GMO foods
  • Rejecting money or support from any group that opposes labeling of GMO foods
  • Open disclosure of all sources of revenue and donors
Increase the Minimum Wage
Most Americans favor raising the minimum wage.  Without voter pressure elected officials have shown they are unwilling to raise it.

Candidates can earn our bloc of votes on this issue by:
  • Supporting a raise in the minimum wage
  • Rejecting money or support from any group that opposes raising the minimum wage
  • Open disclosure of all sources of revenue and donors
Presidential Candidates Must Release Their Tax Returns
Most Americans (74%) would like President Trump to release his tax returns but he refuses to do so voluntarily.  We must demand a law be passed that makes the release of tax returns a requirement for all sitting Presidents and future Presidential candidates.

Candidates can earn our bloc of votes on this issue by:
  • Publicly supporting a law that requires sitting Presidents and Presidential candidates to publicly release their tax returns.
  • Rejecting money or support from groups who oppose the mandatory release of tax returns.
  • Open disclosure of all sources of revenue and donors
Candidates can typically accept money from supporters of a specific issue and still get elected because voters often care about more than one issue.    This system exploits voters with diverse interests and beliefs and surrenders their majority power to single interest donors.  Voting blocs change the political calculus for candidates and let them know that they can no longer accept money from supporters of Donor Controlled Issues without risking a direct challenge from voters.
