- American_Anti-Corruption_Act abstract "The “American Anti-Corruption Act” (AACA) is proposed legislation originally crafted in 2011 "by former Federal Election Commission chairman Trevor Potter in consultation with dozens of strategists, democracy reform leaders and constitutional attorneys from across the political spectrum". It is designed to limit or outlaw practices perceived to be major contributors to political corruption. Its provisions cover three areas: Stop political bribery by overhauling lobbying and ethics laws End secret money by dramatically increasing transparency Give every voter a voice by creating citizen-funded electionsAll the provisions of the act are based on existing law in some parts of the U.S. that have withstood court challenges and are therefore likely constitutional.The apparent constitutionality makes it possible for local and state governments to enact versions of the AACA. This grass-roots approach makes the AACA very different from electoral reforms that require a constitutional amendment such as overturning Citizens United being pushed by groups like Move to Amend. The AACA is being promoted by Represent.Us, which is working to create local chapters of "conservatives, progressives and everyone in between" to push local and state laws "that meet the standards of the American Anti-Corruption Act".. On July 14, 2014, Princeton, NJ, "became the first municipality in the country to adopt an Anti-Corruption Resolution sponsored by Represent.Us". The Princeton resolution mentions six of the eleven provisions in the original AACA draft; see the table below. On Nov. 4, 2014, Tallahassee, FL, became the first governmental entity to enact binding measures inspired by the AACA; 67 percent of Tallahassee voters approved a referendum covering four of the eleven AACA provisions summarized in the table below. It was crafted and promoted by a broad, Right-Left coalition that included Tea Party groups and Common Cause. "Also in 2014, voters passed anti-corruption resolutions in two Massachusetts districts (2 and 19) and in Genoa, Illinois with votes ranging from 72% to 89% in favor", according to SustainableBusiness.com.The AACA has three goals: Stop bribery, end secret money, and empower voters. The following table summarizes the 11 "full provisions" of the AACA in comparison with a summary provided by Represent.Us and with the resolution adopted by Princeton, NJ, and the referendum that obtained 67 percent of the votes in Tallahassee.".
