THE TREMENDOUS POWER OF SPECIAL INTEREST MONEY IN POLITICS OFTEN DROWNS OUT THE VOICE OF EVERYDAY AMERICANS, THREATENS OUR FIRST AMENDMENT FREEDOMS, AND ERODES THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR ENTIRE DEMOCRACY. TO RESTORE FAIRNESS TO OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM, CLC ADVOCATES FOR PASSING AND ENFORCING STRONG CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORMS THAT HELP GUARANTEE A DEMOCRACY RESPONSIVE TO THE PEOPLE.THESE REFORM SOLUTIONS INCLUDE PLACING REASONABLE LIMITS ON FUNDING OF CAMPAIGNS AS WELL AS COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY OF CAMPAIGN SPENDING. CLC HELPS DEVELOP SUCH POLICIES AT THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVELS, AND WORKS TO ENSURE THAT THE FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION ENFORCES CURRENT CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. CLC ALSO DEFENDS IN COURT LAWS THAT PROMOTE THE FIRST AMENDMENT'S GUARANTEE THAT EVERY AMERICAN HAS THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS.THE PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IS EARNED THROUGH THE COMMITMENT OF THOSE IN AND WORKING WITH GOVERNMENT TO UPHOLD THE PRINCIPLE THAT PUBLIC SERVICE IS A PUBLIC TRUST. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO ENACT AND ENFORCE CLEAR ETHICAL GUIDELINES AND LAWS. ONLY THEN CAN PUBLIC OFFICIALS ADEQUATELY NAVIGATE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS AND BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE WHEN THEY BREAK THE PUBLIC'S TRUST. THIS SYSTEM IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE A HEALTHY DEMOCRACY. CLC PROPOSES SOLUTIONS FOR STRONGER ETHICS AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT, AND SERVES AS A GOVERNMENT WATCHDOG, HOLDING ELECTED OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE FOR ETHICS VIOLATIONS. 1824669 10000 70000 REDISTRICTING AND VOTING RIGHTS:DEMOCRACY WORKS BEST WHEN OUR VOTING MAPS ARE FAIRLY DRAWN ON A NONPARTISAN BASIS TO ENSURE THAT AMERICANS CAN PARTICIPATE EQUALLY IN THE ELECTION OF THEIR REPRESENTATIVES. UNFORTUNATELY, INCUMBENTS OFTEN RIG THE SYSTEM TO BENEFIT THEMSELVES AND THEIR PARTY AND SPECIAL INTEREST SUPPORTERS, MANIPULATING VOTING MAPS TO DICTATE THE OUTCOME OF ELECTIONS. TWO SOURCES OF DISCRIMINATION IN VOTING MAPS ARE PARTISAN GERRYMANDERING AND ELECTORAL SYSTEMS THAT UNDER-REPRESENT PEOPLE OF COLOR. THE RESULT IS DYSFUNCTION, MISTRUST AND PUBLIC POLICIES THAT IGNORE THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. CLC ADVANCES AND SUPPORTS LEGAL CASES THAT ADDRESS REDISTRICTING VIOLATIONS, IS ON THE FRONT LINES IN THE FIGHT FOR FAIR REDISTRICTING PRACTICES IN THE STATES, AND CONTINUES TO PROMOTE VOTERS' RIGHTS TO FAIR DISTRICTS NATIONWIDE. VOTING SHOULD BE ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL CITIZENS, NO MATTER WHERE THEY LIVE, THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN OR HOW MUCH MONEY THEY MAKE. TO MAKE EVERY VOTE COUNT, WE NEED A SYSTEM THAT IS FREE AND FAIR TO ENSURE THAT EVERYONE'S VOICE IS HEARD, INCLUDING THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED THEIR TIME AND PAID THEIR DEBT TO SOCIETY. CLC BELIEVES THAT STATE AND FEDERAL POLICIES SHOULD UNIFORMLY PROTECT THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND PROMOTE VOTER PARTICIPATION ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. THROUGH LITIGATION, POLICY ANALYSIS, STATE-BASED ADVOCACY AND PUBLIC EDUCATION, CLC SEEKS TO PROTECT THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND EXPAND ACCESS TO THE BALLOT. 4270619 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 35 0 1 46 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK CA CT FL GA HI IL KS KY MD MA MI MN MS NH NJ NM NY NC OK OR PA RI SC TN UT WV WI X X X MARY MARES 2027362200 1101 14TH STREET NW NO 400 WASHINGTON DC 20005 NORMAN ORNSTEIN TRUSTEE / CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ANTHONY CORRADO TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 GUY-URIEL CHARLES TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHARLES FRIED TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DEBORAH HELLMAN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 PAMELA KARLAN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 PAUL KLINGENSTEIN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 THURGOOD MARSHALL JR TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 CLAY MULFORD TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARTINA VANDENBERG TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROGER WITTEN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 TREVOR POTTER PRESIDENT / TRUSTEE 40.00 X X 278500 0 5443 MARIANNE VIRAY SEC. / TREAS., SR.
