“We would like to avoid having the problems that Detroit had, that other cities have, that certainly they have in Washington.” — Walt, Represent.Us member, Lansing
FRIEND –
I'm so proud of my city. We created a strong, cross-partisan grassroots network here in Lansing, Michigan and together, we're putting an Anti-Corruption Act on the ballot this fall. The Lansing Act will increase transparency, make our city politicians accountable, and set up voter-funded elections. Citizens here will vote for it, and it will become law.
This can happen in any city, it just takes one person who is willing to stand up and lead the charge.
Together, we have the power to fix corruption. That means this needs to go beyond Lansing. With each Act we pass, we'll protect a bit more of our country and build power towards a federal Act.
We can't slow down, because if we do, we lose the momentum that is vital to success in Lansing and beyond.
This movement is built on the idea that everyday citizens like you and me have the power to fix our broken political system. In 2014, the people of Tallahassee, Florida proved it was possible by passing America's first Anti-Corruption Act. We were inspired by their victory and by the ambitious plan of winning 12 more cities by 2016.
I'm so proud that Lansing has answered the call. I'm ready to win and I hope you will stand side by side with me and take up the fight in your city. Together, we can fix corruption.

P.S. What started as a small group of Represent.Us volunteers has now become a large cross-partisan effort. The Anti-Corruption Act is so popular that we blew past Lansing's signature requirement in just a few weeks. If we can do it, anyone can. Will you lead a campaign near you?
