    Unlimited secret spending in our politics is a bipartisan problem. We need to restore real transparency, because voters have a right to know which wealthy special interests are spending big money to influence our gov't and our votes.

    Michiganders turned out in record numbers to pick new leaders. The Michigan election board has affirmed its commitment to respect the law and the voters of Michigan. It's past time for leaders in every state to acknowledge Biden as president-elect so our country can move forward.

    Democracy works best when people can participate in the political process and make their voices heard. Our project fights felony disenfranchisement, and it's encouraging to see states like making progress.

    The people of Michigan are watching, and have made it abundantly clear that we will not tolerate baseless attacks on the very foundation of our democratic process. The Board of State Canvassers must honor the will of the people.

    “This is just a perfect example of why many members of Congress have decided on their own to not trade individual stocks," says CLC's . To rebuild public trust in government, Congress needs to restrict trading of certain individual holdings.

    The right to vote is not theater. By law in every state, the voters in those states determine their slate of electors, not state legislatures. This pressure campaign to deny certification must be dismissed as antidemocratic and unacceptable. My statement:
