We are a community of citizens who believe passionately that public funding is the single most critical long-term public policy issue our nation faces. What's at stake are nothing less than the health of our democracy, the quality of our leadership, and our government's ability to tackle the serious problems that affect us all: health care, energy policy, education, the environment and the economy.
You Street (http://youstreet.org) is a gathering place where we can meet, find strength in numbers and become a force for change.

About You Street
Our government is not broken. It's fixed.
The deck is totally stacked in favor of big money — the powerful special interests and lobbyists who buy access and influence in Washington. Their big campaign contributions are why, year after year, nothing significant gets done to solve critical issues like health care, energy independence, education and the environment.
You Street is about getting big money out of our political process so that our elected officials can represent the only special interest that matters: America. To do that, we need to make voluntary public funding of all federal elections the law of the land.
