Overview

Money plays far too great a role in American elections, from the municipal level all the way up to the U.S. Presidency. Large contributions from a few groups and individuals unduly influence who wins elections and reduce the role of ordinary voters in our democracy.

U.S.PIRG is working to achieve campaign finance reform by enforcing tough campaign contribution limits, creating systems of public financing, and enacting lasting lobby reform.

U.S. PIRG Joins Forces with Change Congress and Other Reform Groups to Launch a DONOR STRIKE!

In order to see change on critical issues like the economy and our healthcare system, we need a clean campaign funding system that allows regular voters to be heard by our politicians. In 2008 citizens engaged in an election like never before; now is the moment to build on that, take the big money out of our system, and incentivize small dollar donors. Can you be part of the solution and help to create a system that incentivizes citizen participation like we saw in the 2008 election?
