An Exxon lobbyist thought he was in a job interview. Instead, it was recorded

You can, on a local level, push for the American Anti-Corruption Act.

"In cities and states across the country, citizens are using a piece of model legislation called the American Anti-Corruption Act to root out conflicts of interest and corruption where they live. Time and again, history has seen laws passed at the city and state level make it all the way to Washington and turn into federal law.

Local Anti-Corruption Acts and Resolutions build momentum towards national reform, since politicians running an anti-corruption platform seed Congress with representatives, not pre-purchased by special interests."

I love the work that represent.us does. This is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about.

I remember reading Republic, Lost years ago. it's good to see action plans around that material.
