Supported amending the Senate rules (specifically, Rule XXII and Rule V), particularly the provision that allows filibusters to motions to amend the rules. Supported the DISCLOSE Act (H.R. 4010 and S. 3369), which would bring transparency to the political process by disclosing the identity of individuals, corporations, unions and other entities making political expenditures in the amount of $10,000 or more. Supported the Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Act of 2011 (S. 1994), which would provide administrative procedures to issue corrective action in the wake of coordinated campaigns to confuse voters about the time, place or manner of voting. Supported the Fair Elections Now Act (H.R. 1404 and S. 750), providing for a voluntary system of financing congressional elections using a mix of small private donations and federal money. Supported the Grassroots Democracy Act (H.R. 6426), providing for a voluntary system of financing congressional elections using a mix of small private donations and federal money, establishing a fund to provide support to grassroots-supported candidates in elections where outside spending significantly outpaces national norms, and establishing a refundable tax credit to encourage grassroots campaign giving. Supported the Empowering Citizens Act (H.R. 6448), providing for a voluntary system of financing congressional and presidential elections by matching small dollar donations with public funds. Supported efforts to ensure the integrity of voting machines and voting systems in the wake of proposals to enable voting over the internet. Supported the Voter Empowerment Act of 2012 (H.R. 5799 and S. 3608), which would advance reforms to ensure that eligible voters can register and cast ballots without undue burden, regardless of race, age, economic class or disability. In particular, Common Cause supports provisions which would install necessary protections to ensure that all ballots are counted as cast, and provide needed administrative responses to misleading deceptive election practices about the time, place or manner of voting. Supported efforts to urge House leadership offices to begin consideration of potential replacements for the four expiring positions on the board of the Office of Congressional Ethics. Supported efforts to respond to Citizens United v. FEC with a constitutional amendment that restores the voices of the American people in elections by addressing the constitutional rights of corporate entities and unlimited spending in politics. Opposed National Marine Fisheries Service's (NMFS) proposed rule regarding confientiality of information under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Mangement Act. Urged NMFS to withdraw and redraft the proposed rule in a manner that will not unnecessarily stifle public participation in the management of public trust ocean resources. Urged the Federal Communications Commission to seek public comment on the Commission's ownership data before making any changes to the current rules. Advocated for rigorous public review to consider the value and import of new information. Advocated that the Commission is required to look at the connection between media concentration and diverse ownership, and, that it bears the burden of proof to relax any of the media ownership rules.
