Transparent ballot box filled with money - representing campaign finance transparency
"Dark money is destroying our democracy and Congress won't do anything about it."
— The frustration we all share

Show Us Where It Goes

We're not waiting for Congress. We reward candidates who choose transparency now.

Already working Felix Tello (IL-07) proves it's possible

Why this pledge is different

Asking Congress to pass laws
Rewarding candidates who choose transparency

By taking this pledge, I will:

Give first to candidates who show me where every dollar goes

Expect real-time transparency from any campaign I support

Help build donor power for transparency

When 10,000 donors take this pledge, we're taking it to every challenger in America.

By signing, you agree to receive email updates. We never share your info.

🚫 The Problem: Dark Money & Delayed Disclosure

When you donate to a political campaign, you have no idea how that money is spent. Not until months later, buried in FEC filings nobody reads.

$1,000,000,000+

in dark money flooded elections since Citizens United.

Where did it go? Nobody knows.

Even for legitimate campaigns, donors wait 90+ days to see a single expense report.

This isn't transparency. It's an accountability blackout.

⚖️ What We're Asking For

We're not waiting for Congress to act. We're building a network of donors who will reward candidates who choose transparency voluntarily.

  • Real-time visibility — See exactly how every donation is spent, as it happens
  • Market-driven change — Make transparency a competitive advantage, not a legal requirement
  • Donor network power — Candidates who adopt transparency get access to committed supporters

💡 It's Already Happening

Felix Tello, running for Congress in Illinois' 7th District, is the first political candidate in America to show donors exactly where every dollar goes—in real time.

Why Felix?

Running for Congress in Illinois' 7th District, Felix uses VoteOrWay.org for transparent voting and now brings that same openness to campaign finance. He's proving transparency builds trust.

IL-07 • Transparency Ledger

Ready
Expense Amount

Felix has committed to full transparency. His ledger is connected and ready—when campaign spending begins, every transaction will appear here in real-time.

Most candidates refuse to make this commitment. Sign the petition to demand transparency from every candidate.

No waiting for FEC filings. No guessing. When transparency becomes the norm, this is what democracy will look like.

💔 Why This Matters

"For 15 years, we've signed petitions asking Congress to fix campaign finance. Dark money has only grown. It's time for a different approach—one that doesn't wait for politicians to police themselves."

By signing this pledge, you're joining a movement to make transparency the expectation, not the exception. Together, we can change how campaigns operate—one candidate at a time.
