About Me |

Common Cause is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization founded in 1970 to strengthen public participation and faith in our institutions of self-government; to ensure that government and political processes serve the general interest, rather than special interests; to curb the excessive influence of money on government decisions and elections; to promote fair elections and high ethical standards for government officials; and to protect the civil rights and civil liberties of all Americans. Click here to get involved! WE DID IT! The House passed the resolution creating an independent Office of Congressional Ethics! THANK YOU to all the activists who worked so hard to achieve this monumental victory!! |
