The People vs The Politicians

This is a journalists’ site  reporting on the most important overlooked story of American politics - the story of citizen movements winning back our democracy with political reforms, state by state. It’s no secret that Americans are fed up with Washington. Public mistrust of politicians is rampant. Finally, voters at the grass roots have decided It's Up to Us - We the People. - to fix our broken democracy.

That's our story - grass roots heroes battling Power Brokers, stopping politicians from rigging elections, exposing dark money,, empowering small donors, defending voters' rights, making our democracy fairer and more inclusive.To learn more - much more - visit our website, reclaimtheamericandream.org.
