Uncheck the Box Act

YourVoice.Now Summary

If you've ever donated to a political campaign online and later noticed recurring charges you didn't realize you'd signed up for, this bill targets that problem. It would ban political campaigns and PACs from using pre-checked boxes or other sneaky methods to lock donors into automatic recurring contributions. Donors would have to actively opt in — not just fail to uncheck a box — before any recurring charge can be made. Campaigns would also be required to send receipts with clear cancellation instructions every time a recurring donation is processed.

Congressional Summary

Like reading a bill in plain English?

We're building an app that does this for every bill in Congress and lets you tell your reps how you want them to vote. We're a small team getting ready to launch, and we're trying to show investors that real people want this. Be one of them. Help us get it built. Leave your email and we'll tell you the moment the app is ready.

By default, we'll only email you once — when the app launches. Unless you opt in below, you won't receive anything else. We don't share or sell your email.
