Without a lobbyist or lobbying efforts, the American public has no chance of participating in the political process... until now. The American People's Lobby is the first lobbying group of its kind to give power back to the people. With your support, The American People's Lobby will give the financial backing to politicians to represent you, ensure the necessary funds for continued representation, and to secure their reelection without their need for corporate sponsors. With a monthly contribution of $10, our goal is to buy back our government so they represent us...The People. Help us get our legislators back on track for Americans today!

The American People's Lobby (APL) is a grassroots movement aimed to:
We must first educate our fellow Americans to the dangers of corporate lobbying and its control over our government. Second, we must motivate the citizenry to support APL's initiatives; thereby gaining strength in numbers and fiscal resources. And finally, we resolve to compete dollar for dollar against corporate lobbyists in order to influence our legislatures to vote in favor of bills which protect the average American and the future of our country.
The top issues:
1) Jobs Creation = Rebuilding our Economy
PROS:
- Train workers to compete in global economy
- Repurpose auto plants to revitalize manufacturing sector
- Positive environmental impact
- Reestablishes U.S. as innovators in new technologies
- Raise taxes on companies that outsource jobs or build plants overseas
- Provide tax incentives for companies to keep jobs in the U.S.
2) Campaign Finance Reform
- Public financing of elections
- Ban on privatization of voting machines
- Ban on computer / non-transparent voting systems without paper trails
- Ban government officials or staff members to work as lobbyists for 7 years after leaving government positions
PROS:
- Forces our representatives to vote in favor of the American people and not for money entrenched corporations
- Ban on ex-government employees from working as lobbyists will keep legislation process pure, i.e. employees are not working to pass bills in favor of companies as a future payback for a job
3) Ending the Afghanistan war
PROS:
- $2 billion spent weekly on war can be diverted for domestic spending for collapsing infrastructure, education, health care, and training programs to get Americans back to work
