Washington is broken. Our branches of government are failing to exercise their proper roles as intense partisanship and lack of debate have hindered Washington's ability to uphold the three principles that constitute good governance: transparency, accountability, and enforcement. CED has focused on several critical issues including: legislative process and procedure, lobbying, earmarks, ethics, and redistricting abuse.
Fixing Washington was a key issue in the 2008 and 2010 elections, with many candidates acknowledging the problem. CED will continue to push for an end to lobbying and ethics abuses in the Congress and Administration.
"Partisan debate has become so rancorous that it prevents the resolution of our most important public problems, and we see no prospect today that our institutions will deal with this crisis on their own."
