POLICY PLATFORM

Article 1, Section 1 of the Michigan constitution reads: “All political power is inherent in the people.”

This basic principle that ultimate power resides in the people is the foundation of our mission at Voters Not Politicians.

Voters Not Politicians defends and promotes policies that strengthen democracy. Michigan’s government must truly represent the will of the people, all votes must count equally, and all voices must be heard. Our representatives must not be unduly influenced by lobbyists or special interests or motivated by personal gain.

Our platform supports:

Free and Fair Elections

Direct Democracy

Ethics, Transparency, and Accountability in Government

Smart term limits that give the lawmakers we elect time to learn the procedural aspects of governing, to develop policy expertise, and to build trusted relationships with colleagues, so they can serve voters effectively
Rules governing “lame duck” to prevent outgoing, unaccountable lawmakers from cramming through extreme legislation
Close the “revolving door” between government and lobbying firms
Public access to government records
Public financial disclosures by elected officials
Strong conflicts of interest rules and an independent body to enforce them

Ending the Corruptive Influence of Money in Politics

An Independent Judiciary
