About us

RealCampaignReform.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, educational and citizens' lobbying organization promoting free and open elections, and a robust participatory democracy for all Americans. We are supported by thousands of individual donors who are outraged by the tactics employed by the ruling parties to perpetuate their monopoly of political and governmental power.

If you share our outrage, please support our educational and lobbying efforts by making a contribution.

One of our objectives is to publicize and promote public interest lawsuits that challenge existing campaign regulations. We are currently promoting a lawsuit that challenges the constitutionality of both the newly passed Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 and the Federal Elections Campaign Act of 1971 on the grounds that they violate the Freedom of the Press. There are five other cases filed (and they are likely to be consolidated), challenging the law based on freedom of speech, association, and other claims. But this lawsuit is the first since Buckley v. Valeo to challenge federal campaign finance laws, arguing that they amount to a government license on press activity. If this case is ultimately successful, the ability of the Federal Election Commission to enforce many campaign finance laws involving individuals and political campaigns -- including contribution limits and reporting requirements -- would no longer be coercive, but voluntary.
