Press release: “Following the Obama administration’s vow to use strong executive action in the face of a paralyzed Congress, the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law released a new policy proposal today outlining 15 steps the administration can take to strengthen democracy, secure justice, and further the rule of law.”

Direct federal agencies to accept designation as NVRA agencies.
-
Enlist the private sector to assure free and fair elections.
-
Appoint Republicans and Democrats to the Election Assistance and Federal Election Commissions.
-
Sign an executive order requiring disclosure of political spending by entities awarded government contracts.
-
Request that the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue regulations requiring disclosure of corporate political spending.
-
Request that the Federal Communications Commission to require more thorough disclaimers of outside spending on political advertisements.
