We are the Chicago chapter of Represent.US, a non-partisan movement to end money in politics corruption. We're rallying behind the American Anti-Corruption Act to rein in congressional corruption and restore a government that represents every American. The Act was crafted by former Federal Election Commission chairman Trevor Potter in consultation with dozens of strategists, democracy reform leade
rs and constitutional attorneys from across the political spectrum. Potter was one of the chief architects of the McCain-Feingold law. The Act would transform how elections are financed, how lobbyists influence politics, and how political money is disclosed. It is a bold, sweeping proposal that would reshape the rules of American politics, and restore ordinary Americans as the most important stakeholders instead of major donors. The Anti-Corruption Act's provisions enjoy support from progressives and conservatives alike. Constitutional attorneys confirm that the provisions are constitutional. Join us to help stop corruption. Represent Chicago is ab politically diverse group of people who are working together to fix our corrupt political system. Here’s what we do:
- Meet regularly to work on local anti-corruption resolutions and initiatives
- Attend community events to educate the public and raise awareness
- Work with friends, neighbors, local groups, and politicians to build political power
