Quote:At this point you might re- read the OP...So despite having no clue what's in the bill your bitching because it has a pretentious name...... alright then
The.pandering name IS my point.....

Or even the many summaries I’ve been able to find just by googling “We The People Act.” And it’s not like we don’t know what’s in it. The full text and a summary of it are readily available on Congress’ official website. If there were anything truly sinister in it, you’d think there’d be better criticisms than “if we actually let everybody vote, Republicans wouldn’t win any elections.”Indeed pretty mundane stuff .
Quote:This bill addresses voter access, election integrity and security, campaign finance, and ethics for the three branches of government.Seems pretty innocent.
Specifically, the bill expands voter registration (e.g., automatic and same-day registration) and voting access (e.g., vote-by-mail and early voting). It also limits removing voters from voter rolls.
Quote:The bill requires states to establish independent redistricting commissions to carry out congressional redistricting.Why would anyone have an issue with this?
Additionally, the bill sets forth provisions related to election security, including sharing intelligence information with state election officials, supporting states in securing their election systems, developing a national strategy to protect U.S. democratic institutions, establishing in the legislative branch the National Commission to Protect United States Democratic Institutions, and other provisions to improve the cybersecurity of election systems.
Quote:Further, the bill addresses campaign finance, including by expanding the prohibition on campaign spending by foreign nationals, requiring additional disclosure of campaign-related fundraising and spending, requiring additional disclaimers regarding certain political advertising, and establishing an alternative campaign funding system for certain federal offices.Less corruption is generally a good thing.
Quote:The bill addresses ethics in all three branches of government, including by requiring a code of conduct for Supreme Court Justices, prohibiting Members of the House from serving on the board of a for-profit entity, and establishing additional conflict-of-interest and ethics provisions for federal employees and the White House.Same as above
Quote:The bill requires the President, the Vice President, and certain candidates for those offices to disclose 10 years of tax returns.Consider the last 4 years this seems like a good idea.
