#Hawaii #Governor #JoshGreen passed #bill banning #corporatespending ✊️✊️

THIS IS MAJOR: Hawaii Governor Josh Green just helped pass a first-of-its-kind bill banning corporate spending in Hawaii politics. This is exactly the kind of bold reform Americans have been begging for. Our elections should belong to the people — not corporations and special interests.

For too long, massive corporate money has drowned out the voices of everyday voters. Hawaii is now showing the rest of the country what real democracy reform looks like: putting people first, protecting the integrity of elections, and making clear that political power should never be for sale.

Share this everywhere if you agree we need this at the national level. Every state should follow Hawaii’s lead, and every Democrat should be fighting to get corporate money out of politics once and for all. No more excuses. No more corruption. Power back to the people.

... Read moreAs someone deeply interested in the health of our democracy, I was truly inspired when I learned about Hawaii Governor Josh Green’s recent success in passing a first-of-its-kind bill that bans corporate spending in Hawaii politics. Having followed similar reform efforts around the country, this legislation stands out because it directly addresses the undue influence of corporations in elections — something many Americans feel has drowned out their voices for years. From my personal experience engaging in political discussions and grassroots campaigns, it’s clear how overwhelming corporate money can sway political outcomes and reduce public trust in governance. Hawaii's new law sends a powerful message that political power shouldn’t be bought and that elections must be free from the shadow of special interest funding. This bill not only preserves the integrity of elections but also encourages more equitable representation by amplifying the voice of everyday voters. What makes Hawaii’s approach especially inspiring is that it pushes other states to consider similar measures — envisioning a future where democracy truly belongs to the people. It ties in with the broader movement across America demanding greater transparency and fairness in campaign financing. By following Hawaii’s lead, states and lawmakers could move towards systems that prioritize human concerns over corporate interests, ensuring that elected officials are accountable first and foremost to their constituents. If you value clean elections and the idea that political influence shouldn’t be for sale, Hawaii's bold step is a model worth watching closely. It’s crucial for citizens to share this momentum and advocate for such reforms at the national level, as that will be the next frontier in safeguarding fair democratic processes for all.

It is because when they are given the choice to appeal to corporate donors, or appeals to the all powerful moderates they commit war crimes for, they choose donors. Because those donors care more about preventing these policy’s than they do winning elections, the democrats do to. It’s not JUST that
