“To expand Americans’ access to the ballot box, reduce the influence of
big money in politics, and strengthen ethics rules for public servants, and for
other purposes” text as of January 11, 2019 had not been received.
Bills are generally sent to the Library of Congress from the
Government Publishing Office (GPO) a day or two after they are introduced on
the floor of the House or Senate. Delays can occur when there are large numbers
of bills to prepare or when a very large bill has to be printed.
“H.R.1
- To expand Americans’ access to the ballot box, reduce the influence of big
money in politics, and strengthen ethics rules for public servants, and for
other purposes.”

“The American people want Congress to tackle the problems this bill is designed to tackle, but this is just a start and the task of democracy reform must not end here. Over the last several Presidential administrations, executive power has grown, weakening the basic checks and balances that are fundamental to our democratic system…. Our democracy, like many around the world, is facing new challenges that Congress must address. Protect Democracy supports many of the important provisions of this bill. In particular, the election cybersecurity, election interference, and voting provisions in Title 1 protect the right to vote and the right to have all votes counted. Protect Democracy has litigated to protect these rights around the country and is encouraged that Congress will do more to ensure that all Americans can participate in our most basic democratic processes. All Members of Congress from both parties should support these basic values.”
Established “by a group of former White House and
Administration lawyers and experienced constitutional litigators,” Protect
Democracy is self-described as “a nonpartisan nonprofit with an urgent mission:
to prevent our democracy from declining into a more authoritarian form of
government.” The group monitors, investigates, reports on, organizes and
litigates “against any action taken by the Executive Branch that could erode
the rules, practices and freedoms that underpin our ability as a self-governing
people to hold our leaders accountable.” The Protect Democracy Project “is a
501(c)(3)” organization; “United to Protect Democracy is a 501(c)(4)”
organization.”

“In a major step toward fixing our broken system of elections, House Democratic lawmakers introduced a comprehensive democracy reform bill on the first day of the 116th Congress.
Known as H.R. 1 (the “For The People Act”) and sponsored by Rep. John Sarbanes (D-MD), the bill would create a more responsive and representative government by making it easier for voters to cast a ballot and harder for lawmakers to gerrymander; by transforming how campaigns are funded to amplify the voices of ordinary Americans; and by bolstering election security and government ethics.
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based at the New York University School
of Law, the Brennan Center for Justice describes itself as “part think tank,” “part
advocacy group,” “nonpartisan law and policy institute that works to reform,
revitalize – and when necessary, defend – ‘our’ country’s systems of democracy
and justice.” The Center dedicates itself “to protecting the rule of law and
the values of Constitutional democracy. Its areas of interest: “voting rights,
campaign finance reform, ending mass incarceration, and preserving ‘our’
liberties while also maintaining ‘our’ national security.”
