OUT WITH

The Electoral College

IN WITH

The National Popular Vote
December 29, 2025 at 2:52 PM
Problem: The Electoral College is broken beyond repair.

Solution: Replace it with the Nation Popular Vote for one person, one vote in our presidential elections.

This year, Common Cause passed a critical update to the California AI Transparency Act—helping voters spot what’s real—and what’s fake—online. Truth matters. Accountability matters.

This year, 202 representatives and 56 senators in Congress own stock. And they trade those stocks with insider information only they can access. It's time to ban stock trading for every member of Congress. san.com/cc/house-to-...
House to vote on stock trading ban for Congress but doubts remain on passage
The House announced it would vote on a bill that would ban Congress from trading stocks, after the proposal gained bipartisan support.

🚨Maryland is moving on mid-decade redistricting—without any public maps.

That’s a serious transparency failure. Voters deserve to see how new maps would affect their representation before being asked to weigh in.

Redistricting must happen in the open—not behind closed doors.

The DOJ is escalating pressure on states—including GA, IL, and WI—to hand over sensitive voter data.

Your private data belongs to you, not unelected D.C. bureaucrats. Common Cause is fighting nationwide to protect voter privacy.

This year Common Cause stood up to extremism, protected voting rights, and won real reforms that put people first — not special interests.

Public servants should serve the people — not play the stock market. The majority of Americans agree that members of Congress shouldn’t trade stocks while writing the laws.

It’s time for action! Congress must come together and pass a stock trading ban now. www.commoncause.org/press/govern...
Government Watchdog Supports New Bill to Ban Members of Congress from Trading Stock
It's common sense that members of Congress shouldn't be able to buy and sell stock while they’re making laws that could affect those companies and industries.

GOP Speaker Mike Johnson just sent the House home for the year without passing a ban on stock trading.

A ban on members of Congress cashing in on insider information has bipartisan support and is long overdue.

Let's get this done.

The unemployment rate just hit a four-year high.

President Trump is tanking the economy with mass federal job cuts and reckless tariffs—right before the holidays.
