CBS Sunday Morning Features Anti-Corruption Movement

Represent.Us is a nationwide campaign of conservatives, progressives and everyone in between working together to pass anti-corruption laws in cities and states across the country. These laws protect our local communities from corruption, force politicians to represent people instead of special interests, and build momentum for national reform. Learn more about our plan here.

CBS Sunday Morning said it perfectly

Honest Gil's satirical run for president is getting everyone talking about corruption. But what's even more important about our movement is that we bring conservatives and progressives together, and we win. Represent.Us members and our allies have already tallied 10 victories, and we're just getting started.

America’s Corruption Crisis

The 2016 race will be the most expensive election in U.S. history — projected at more than $10 billion! Politicians from both political parties are completely dependent on the handful of elites who bankroll their political careers. Big donors are buying politicians, and their lobbyists are writing our laws. Corruption is legal in America.



Things are so bad, a 20-year study by top political scientists found that "the preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy." One thing that does have an impact? Money. Economic elites, business interests, and people who can afford lobbyists get what they want, and the rest of us pay the price.

Honest Gil: The Hero America Deserves

In 2014, we ran Honest Gil for Senate in Kentucky, and he was an instant hit. Gil’s 2014 ads were viewed more than 10 million times, and hundreds of media outlets, including the Today Show, CNN, Fox News, and BBC Radio picked up the story. Millions were introduced to the movement, and thousands of new volunteers helped pass 10 Anti-Corruption Acts and Resolutions across the country. Now, we're using the election 2016 media frenzy to go even bigger. With your help, Honest Gil Fulbright will not only get the entire country talking about corruption — he'll get thousands more people involved with the growing movement to fix it. Fund Gil on IndieGoGo.
