Ninety-two percent of Americans — 90% of Republicans, 93% of Democrats, 93% of Independents — say they're worried about government corruption. That's not a partisan divide, that's a national consensus. I need you to act on it: support a constitutional amendment to restore campaign finance limits and push for real anti-corruption legislation now.
The numbers behind this crisis are staggering. The top 1% now holds 31.7% of all U.S. wealth — the highest share since the Fed started tracking in 1989 — roughly equal to the bottom 90% combined. Meanwhile, fewer than half of Americans say they can afford health care. This isn't an accident. It's what happens when money controls policy. Seventy-nine percent of Americans want campaign finance reform. That's not a fringe position — it's a majority demand that Congress keeps ignoring.
None of this is radical. The 1956 Republican platform supported worker protections, expanded Social Security, and equal pay. Fighting corruption and breaking up monopolies is squarely within the American political tradition. Do your job and represent the people who elected you, not the donors who fund your campaigns.
