    Default H.R. 1: For the People Act

    From the Common Cause website:

    "We the People deserve a responsive, accountable government that gives us all a stronger voice and puts our needs ahead of special interests.

    Congress must pass the For The People Act (H.R. 1) — a bold, comprehensive package of democracy reforms including independent redistricting commissions, citizen-funded elections, closing the revolving door between government and corporate interests, and protecting voters against discrimination.

    H.R. 1 — is the boldest democracy reform since Watergate. It’s a massive overhaul of money-in-politics, voting, and ethics laws — all to make our democracy more inclusive.

    The House passed it in 2019 during the 116th Congress, but then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to give it a vote in the Senate."

    This doesn't address the Senate Problemm. Wyoming has 2. California has 2. One big elephant if you ask me. Ignore it and nothing changes. We've been electing unethical people and you are expecting them to write ethics laws? That will work out well. Education leads to reform and inclusivity but
