American Promise

It's Giving Tuesday — and a chance to give power back to the voters. 🤝 We are leading a cross-partisan movement to ratify the For Our Freedom constitutional amendment, restoring voters' ability to set reasonable limits on election spending. 💰 23 states are already on board. Your donation of $38, $380, or $3,800 will help us continue our momentum. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e9sZufC4

A new The Washington Post analysis finds outside groups have spent more than $1.2 billion on political ads, outspending candidates in more than 7 in 10 competitive congressional races. States can limit contributions to candidates, but spending by outside groups is unlimited. It’s time to put the power to set reasonable rules for election spending back where it belongs: with voters and our elected representatives.

AI and crypto interests spent $127 million in 100 congressional districts during this year’s primaries. When unlimited money flows into elections, it can shape who gets elected and whose voices are heard. Our elections should work for the American people — not the elite interests spending to influence them. It’s time to put voters first. 🎥 https://lnkd.in/eFE94gkC

Gen Z sees what’s happening. A new poll finds 83% of Gen Z view money in politics as a serious problem. And there’s common ground here, too. Across party lines, 7 in 10 Gen Z voters believe voters and elected lawmakers should have a say in setting reasonable rules for money in elections. We don't have to accept a political system where billionaires have more influence than voters. American Promise is working to change that — and 25 states have already called on Congress to act. Join the movement. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eQvd8rka

Who are “We the People”? 📜 We are Americans from every corner of the country, united by a Constitution that puts the power of our government in the hands of the people. Across the country, Americans are sharing what those words mean to them — and why keeping that power in the hands of the people matters. The Constitution Gives the People the Power.

AI is raising enormous questions about jobs, national security, cybersecurity, and humanity itself. So why are our candidates being warned against talking about AI regulation? The answer is because tech-backed super PACs could spend millions against them. When unlimited political spending can shape what candidates are willing to say about consequential issues, Americans have to ask: Is unlimited spending free speech .... or LESS speech? And who should decide that? Lawyers and the courts, or We the People?
