Description

Democracy 21 is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to making democracy work for all Americans. Democracy 21, and its education arm, Democracy 21 Education Fund, work to eliminate the undue influence of big money in American politics and to ensure the integrity and fairness of government decisions and elections. The organization promotes campaign finance reform and other political reforms to accomplish these goals.

J. Dionne, who has described Wertheimer as "the eminence grise of the campaign reform movement." Democracy 21 provides the public and media with the latest information and analysis on money and politics, and focuses its activities on: - Promoting campaign finance reforms, such as the ban on soft money enacted in 2002, reforming the Federal Election Commission and fixing the presidential public financing system; - Ensuring that the new campaign finance law and the nation's other campaign finance laws are effectively implemented and enforced; and
