The People’s Power Act will restore electoral integrity by ending the outsized influence of concentrated private wealth, closing coordination loopholes, and empowering ordinary voters through transparent, enforceable rules and robust public financing. The current presidential system permits unlimited outside spending, opaque funding conduits, and vendor‑laundering that lets the wealthiest 1 percent disproportionately buy messaging, microtargeting, and rapid‑response operations that decide close races. This petition demands (1) an immediate ban on direct corporate and union contributions to presidential campaigns and a prohibition on foreign, shell, and donor‑advised fund money used for electioneering; (2) an effective abolition of Super PAC dominance by imposing strict contribution ceilings for independent‑expenditure entities, attributing coordinated spending to candidate totals, and applying clawback and disgorgement remedies; (3) real‑time, machine‑readable disclosure of all contributions, transfers, vendor contracts, and digital ad metadata with beneficial‑owner attribution; (4) a public Democracy Voucher program combined with a 6:1 small‑dollar match and a dedicated Democracy Fund to make campaigns competitive without large private checks; (5) expanded, clearly defined coordination tests that cover shared vendors, nonpublic data transfers, polling/targeting lists, and subsidized services; and (6) creation of an independent Federal Electoral Integrity Commission (FEIC) with subpoena power, emergency interlocutory remedies, rulemaking authority, an Inspector General, and a whistleblower reward program to investigate and enforce the law.
