Thousands of Red Caps on Capitol Hill Bi-partisan and non-partisan consensus developed to terminate Nixon's Presidency that threatened the rule of law and diminished our greatness. At that moment, our system showed how it could respond to a genuine internal threat. At this moment, it must again so that these thousands of red caps will be voluntarily but steadily removed as the country comes to its senses.

US campaign finance laws resemble legalized bribery. We must reform them When powerful lobbyists work hard over the coming weeks to convince Republican lawmakers to change their tax package to please them, it would probably be of interest to know exactly how much campaign cash these so-called stakeholders and their industries have given or spent in recent years for the members of Congress who are writing tax laws.

How the Republican party quietly does the bidding of white supremacists If Republican lawmakers want to distinguish themselves from Trump's comments, they need to do more than type out 144 characters on their phones. A good start would be with voting rights. Let's see lawmakers like John Kasich in Ohio immediately stop the state's intended purging of voting records. Let's see Wisconsin lawmakers throw out their gerrymandered district map and form a non-partisan redistricting commission.

America steals votes from felons. Until it stops, our democracy will be weakened As we face the daily jaw-dropping revelations about the Trump campaign and administration's actions, keeping our focus on restoring legitimacy to our elections and our democracy has never been more important, and ending the historic wrong of felony disenfranchisement absolutely must be part of our agenda.

Trump Declares War on Voters The Republican Party has known for several years that its best tactic to cling to power is not to build a party worth supporting, but to deny participation in the political process to Democratic voters. So Republicans have been suppressing voters state-by-state for years. And now that they control the White House, they're trying to do it nationally.

Trump's next attack on democracy: mass voter suppression After slavery ended, white elites invented felony disenfranchisement as a means to delegitimize black citizens and prevent them from gaining influence. We saw Jim Crow gut-punch our democracy in yet another attempt to disenfranchise minorities. We are witnessing history repeating itself.

America risks one-party rule if gerrymandering isn't stopped Over the past several years, a ground war has been conducted against our democratic legitimacy at the state level by state political parties intent on minimizing the power of certain voters. Their goal: near permanent one-party rule. This is destroying our democracy. Rather than voters choosing their representatives, representatives choose their voters.

If Gorsuch is confirmed, the legitimacy of the US supreme court won't recover The Senate, specifically Senate Democrats and independents, and any Republicans who care about our constitution, must do everything in their power to block Gorsuch's nomination and demand the legitimacy of our supreme court be restored through the nomination of a consensus candidate.

The Very Legitimacy of Our Democracy Is Under Threat protecting the vote means protecting the power of the popular vote. Two of the last three presidents have been elected by the Electoral College in defiance of the national popular vote. The Electoral College is an historical relic designed to balance power between slave-owning and non-slave-owning states. Our democracy has come a long way since then, yet we have stuck with this electoral relic.
