Automatic Voter Registration (AVR). In a nutshell, important voting reforms that would have increased participation, would have saved towns money, and would have eliminated the nightmares we saw in some municipalities on election day in 2018 were never voted on in the Senate this year.
We have a second chance at passage. As Governor Lamont and legislative leaders plan to call a special session to address transportation infrastructure, they should use this opportunity to pass automatic voter registration as well. By including AVR in a special session, we have an opportunity to make our democracy stronger and more vibrant than ever. Tell Governor Lamont to Bring Automatic Voter Registration to CT. Read more

Connecticut’s People Over Big Pharma Profits- Lower Drug Prices Campaign. In August, as part of the “People over Pharma Profits” National Day of Action, CCAG joined with advocates, community and faith leaders and patients in 34 states demanding that lawmakers take bold action to lower drug prices for everyone by taking away the pharmaceutical companies’ power to price-gouge patients. CT leaders and constituents called on President Trump and Congress to pass comprehensive policies to hold drug makers accountable, rein in drug monopolies and guarantee all patients can get affordable medicines. Local leaders also called on House Representatives to reject the administration’s proposed North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) replacement that locks in high-prices for life-saving medications.
The 2019 Legislative Session Ended at Midnight on June 5th!

CONNECT THE DOLLARS PROJECT (CDP) is a collaboration of Common Cause in CT and CT Citizen Action Group to expose attempts to buy our state.
Connecticut super PACs, which can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money to support or oppose electoral candidates, are being used as a tool for a handful of wealthy individuals, lobbying organizations, and businesses to buy our elections to serve their interests. A massive influx of millions of dollars in super PAC donations thus far in 2018 — more than half of it from out-of-state interests — drowns out the voices of Connecticut citizens and candidates, undermines the goals of Connecticut’s strong campaign finance laws, and damages public confidence in the integrity of our election system.
