Issues

Election Modernization

Free, fair, and honest elections are the cornerstone of any democracy. As technology evolves, opportunities exist to expand ballot access for all American citizens while improving the safety, security, and accuracy in our democratic process. At the same time, misinformation and foreign actors seek to delegitimize effective election administration. There is wide support for dedicating federal funding to help state and local election officials improve their systems in order to protect against foreign interference. Centerline believes that to truly have a strong democracy, we must bolster public confidence in our elections process by ensuring our elections officials have the resources, training, and infrastructure needed to maintain the security and integrity of the ballot counting process.

Immigration Reform & Border Security

America is a nation of immigrants. To continue attracting the most ambitious and entrepreneurial talent from around the world, and enhance American competitiveness, Congress must implement commonsense immigration reform and border security. Centerline Action believes policymakers in both parties must work together to pass reforms that secure the Southern border, meet our nation’s economic needs, and protect the dignity of those for whom the torch of liberty burns brightest. Americans remain overwhelmingly supportive of U.S. immigration, with most recent surveys indicating that strong majorities saying it is good for the country and preferring to see immigration kept at its present level or increased rather than decreased. America’s immigration system is complex, and a bipartisan solution is the only way to enhance our national security, protect our local communities, and maximize American competitiveness.

Conservation and Clean Energy Infrastructure

Environmental stewardship is too important of an issue to let the extremes within either political party stand in the way of commonsense solutions. Centerline Action knows America can reduce the effects of climate change on our economic and national security by investing in an advanced, clean energy manufacturing and infrastructure. A 54% majority believe clean energy initiative laws will have a positive impact on their state. Innovation and bipartisan solutions are how we will successfully leverage America’s competitive advantage to drive other nations to lower their carbon emissions, while increasing job creation and maintaining a strong economy here at home.

LGBT Freedom

The United States was founded on the belief that all individuals are created equal. Likewise, Centerline Action was created to advocate for the constitutional freedoms and liberties of all Americans, including members of the LGBT community. Centerline Action was proud to have successfully worked with solutions-oriented Republicans and Democrats to ensure that the Respect for Marriage Act (RMA) was signed into law. Approximately 7 out of 10 Americans are satisfied with the legal status of same-sex marriage, including 56% of Republicans who agree with the right to marry. Just as Centerline Action was successful in passing the RMA into law, we will strive to create a more inclusive society for all Americans through bipartisan legislation that advances our core principle that everyone is created equally.

Contraceptive Care and Access

Contraception has been legal in the United States for over 50 years and yet continued access remains uncertain for millions of Americans. Voters overwhelmingly agree that increasing access to contraception is a “freedom issue.” An overwhelming 91% of all voters agree that ‘All people in the United States should be able to both afford and have access to contraception. They should also be able to obtain information on what method of contraception would be best for them.’ Centerline Action will work with solutions-oriented policymakers at all levels of government to maintain safe and reliable access to contraceptives
