It’s going to be really hard to address any other issue - whether it’s education, healthcare, or criminal justice, unless we first fix America’s corrupt political system. Here’s how we do it. #justiceforsale #unrigthesystem

1) Ban gifts from lobbyists to politicians. 2) Close the revolving door between Congress and special interests. 3) Enfranchise even more voters with automatic voter registration and vote by mail, so politicians actually represent us. #unrigthesystem

These ideas are popular with both conservatives and progressives because it’s not about giving power to one party or the other. It’s about fixing the systems behind America’s biggest problems.

But even though it’s incredibly popular, politicians from both parties refuse to pass major anti-corruption laws when they have the opportunity. It’s not surprising... they benefit from the system just the way it is. #corruption

Well, we can’t wait for them, so we have to go around Congress, because throughout American history, passing state laws have paved the way for the passage of transformative federal laws.

If we follow in their footsteps, we can win. Our movement that believes the government should work for you and your family, not just a handful of billionaires and special interests. #unrigthesystem

Millions of people have already joined up and are working across party lines to pass anti-corruption laws. Together, we’ve already racked up more than 100 victories. Sign up to be part of the next anti-corruption victory in your state. represent.us/tw
