Keeping Politicians Honest
Consumer Watchdog fights to make your voice heard by calling out dirty politicians and attacking the influence of the special interests that keep them in power.
From Sacramento to Washington DC we follow the money trail from special interests to policymakers, and track bad public policy back from politicians to their donors.
Our ArnoldWatch blog has been reporting on Governor Schwarzenegger, and his broken promise to represent the people, not the special interests, since his inauguration. At DirtyMoneyWatch we've documented, exposed and built the movement to reform the variety of crooked campaign tricks developed by lobbyists and the politicians they wine, dine and order around. And we’ve written, campaigned for and passed strong campaign and conflict of interest reforms across California.
Join the fight to clean up the dirty money corrupting our democracy.
