I am deeply concerned about the state of our nation. The chaos we see all around us is due to the influence of foreign money being pumped into American Elections to support and elect people who don't have America's safety and prosperity at heart. This is not just a personal concern, but a national crisis that demands immediate attention.

Foreign financial influence in our elections undermines the very foundation of our democracy – the principle that it should be 'of the people, by the people, for the people'. It allows external entities to manipulate our political landscape, skewing policies towards their interests rather than those of American citizens.

According to a report by Open Secrets (2016), foreign donations are indeed an issue in U.S politics. While direct contributions from foreign nationals are illegal under federal law, loopholes exist that allow foreign money into our election process indirectly through corporations or Political Action Committees (PACs).

We must close these loopholes and strengthen laws against foreign campaign contributions. We need transparency in political funding so we can ensure decisions made by elected officials prioritize America's safety and prosperity above all else.

Let's stand together for an America free from all external financial influences where every citizen's voice matters more than any amount of money.

Please sign this petition calling on lawmakers to eliminate all forms of foreign financial influence from American elections.
