confirmed contact signups supporting v0.1
Requesting the shared live count.
One shared count
Support from America.co and Election.org is counted together. Confirmation shows access to an email address or phone number, not verified identity or voter eligibility.
Current stage: proposal framework
A support count does not enact a law. This is not a vote, an official petition, or evidence of a majority.
The Public Receipts proposal · v0.1One clear ask.
One clear ask.
Six parts that make it work.
Strengthen federal spending disclosure and verification. Build on existing systems, close reporting gaps, and make missing evidence visible. This is a proposed framework for a bill, ready for policy and implementation review.
Connect the trail.
Link spending authority, awards, recipients, payments, and relevant subawards through consistent identifiers and searchable records.
Publish what can be public.
Propose a 30-day disclosure standard for covered records, with downloadable data, correction history, and a documented reason for each lawful exception.
Verify the records.
Provide independent audit access to unredacted records, risk-based checks, public compliance reports, and deadlines to correct failures.
Protect people’s information.
Protect benefit recipients, personal identifiers, medical data, and legitimate security information. Publish safe summaries; preserve authorized oversight access.
Fund the follow-through.
Set agency responsibilities, phased deadlines, enforcement procedures, and implementation funding. Address missing paperwork without automatically interrupting essential benefits.
Why this needs more than a sloganBetter records.
Better records.
Stronger checks.
Federal spending disclosure and audits already exist. GAO’s 2026 review identifies continuing reporting and data-quality gaps, including certain agreements and subawards. The proposal should close those gaps and improve the evidence behind the data.
Transparency can support prevention and accountability. It still needs reliable controls, independent review, and enforcement. Fraud, waste, and payment errors are different problems; a missing record alone does not prove fraud.
Start with one reform people can understand. Earn trust by publishing the draft, its costs, its limits, and every material revision.
A count is the beginning.
Here is the work after it.
Publish the scope, evidence, and open questions.
Resolve implementation, legal, privacy, and cost questions with qualified reviewers.
Ask members of Congress to sponsor a public bill. No sponsor is claimed here.
Publish committee actions, votes, revisions, and implementation milestones.

What this can do.
What it takes.
Does one bill end corruption?
No. Better records can help expose problems and support prevention. Effective controls, independent oversight, enforcement, and ongoing review are also necessary. This proposal is one concrete reform.
Is this an introduced bill?
No. Public Receipts is a working title for this v0.1 policy framework. Scope, legal drafting, costs, exceptions, and enforcement need review. No sponsor, bill number, endorsement, or passage is claimed.
What does the counter measure?
The shared counter measures confirmed, deduplicated contact signups supporting this proposal version. Confirmation verifies access to a contact channel. It does not verify a unique person, citizenship, voter eligibility, or a legal petition signature. Two different contact channels may belong to the same person.
Would all records be public?
No. The proposal calls for supporting records and authorized audit access, with public disclosure that protects personal data and legitimate security needs. Exceptions should have a defined basis and appropriate oversight.
Does signing give permission for marketing?
No. This signup sends a confirmation request for this proposal. It does not enroll you in a newsletter or automatic marketing. Sharing is optional. Read the campaign privacy notice below.
How is sharing measured?
Confirmed supporters receive an opaque personal link. When someone follows it and confirms new support, the service can credit that referral once. Share actions and copied links are recorded separately; they do not count as supporters. No contacts are imported and no voter profile is created.
Your support.
Clear boundaries.
This Public Receipts campaign runs across America.co and Election.org, with the shared support service operated through Election.org. We use the email address or phone number you submit to confirm your support for proposal v0.1, prevent duplicate counts and abuse, and respond to your requests. Your contact details are encrypted in the campaign database and are not public.
Resend processes your email address to deliver the confirmation email. If phone verification is available, its provider notice appears beside the contact form before you submit your number. A signup does not authorize marketing or newsletter enrollment. We do not import contacts, send invitations automatically, or publish a list of supporters.
Your browser keeps a random visitor identifier and signed page assignment in local storage. Those values contain no contact details and let the service keep your treatment consistent. The server records the assigned message, referring support link, proposal version, confirmation and withdrawal status, timestamps, and basic view/share/copy events. Referral links contain opaque random codes, never your email or phone. The shared service can connect a confirmed signup and its credited referral across these two campaign sites; it does not track your activity on unrelated pages or build a voter profile.
Pending contact details are cleared after seven days. View and share events are removed after 90 days, and short-term abuse-rate records after 48 hours. A confirmed contact is retained while support is active; withdrawal clears that contact and removes active support from the count. Pseudonymous, hashed support and referral history can remain for duplicate prevention and aggregate measurement. Email jack@election.org from your signup address to ask for access, correction, withdrawal of support, or deletion. Confirmed supporters also receive a private withdrawal link. Withdrawing removes your active support from the count. For a phone-only signup, contact that address for a review of your request without sending identity documents.
Vercel hosts these sites and may retain ordinary connection and security logs. Resend and any active phone verification provider may retain delivery/security records under their own terms. Read the site privacy policy for general site practices. This campaign notice describes the specific signup and referral flow above.
