RESOLUTION

Denouncing corruption in all its forms.

Whereas 3 quarters of Americans think United States Government corruption poses 
a critical threat to the vital interests of the United States;
Whereas public trust in government is near historic lows;
Whereas only 17 percent of United States adults say they trust the Federal 
Government to do the right thing just about always or most of the time;
Whereas a vast majority of Americans, regardless of their partisan 
identification, view unlimited political spending as weakening democracy 
and believe wealthy donors have too much power in elections;
Whereas a vast majority of Americans support anticorruption rules that 
strengthen democracy and constitutional rights by ensuring everyone has 
equal political representation, regardless of money;
Whereas corruption, self-dealing and dark money in our political system 
undermine public confidence in the democratic process and democratic 
institutions;
Whereas the revolving door between the private and public sector can create 
conflicts of interest that prioritize special interests over the public 
good and reduce the public's confidence that their representatives are 
working for them;
Whereas using public office to attack political enemies and for personal 
enrichment are hallmarks of autocratic and kleptocratic regimes;
Whereas using public office for personal enrichment through insider trading, 
foreign licensing deals, gifts from foreign nations, and the sale of 
various cryptocurrencies corrupts the basic oath taken by elected 
officials to serve the American people and further erodes the public's 
faith in government;
Whereas promising industries favorable policies, tax incentives, and an end to 
regulatory oversight in exchange for extensive campaign donations 
further drowns out the voices of the people and increases the risk of 
systemic corruption; and
Whereas providing pardons to individuals who have provided millions of dollars 
in donations to associated political action committees (PACs), special 
projects, and inauguration funds creates a system where political 
donations can cancel out justice and further erodes the public's trust 
in our systems of government: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives denounces corruption in 
all its forms and opposes the implementation of policies that benefit 
special interests and corrupt politicians at the expense of the 
American people.
