Join the Liberty Tree Foundation's Ben Manski, other featured speakers, and The Other 98% to fight corporate corruption in politics and expose candidates who won't join the fight! Bring your passion to the Rally. All are welcome!

 

• Overturn Citizens United:
  
  Amend the Constitution to protect America from unlimited corporate spending on our elections by overturning the Supreme Court's decision giving corporations the same rights as people.
• Fair elections now:
  
  Pass the Fair Elections Now Act, providing public financing to candidates who are supported by small donors so they can compete with corporate-backed and self-funded candidates.
• Lobbyist Reform Act:
  
  Pass legislation to end the overwhelming influence of corporate lobbyists by: prohibiting individuals from switching from corporate lobbying to government service, or vice-versa, within a 5-year period; stopping corporate lobbyists from giving gifts and providing free travel to government officials; and posting online the attendees and content of all meetings between lobbyists and government officials.
