THE CORRUPTION
WE REFUSE
TO IGNORE.
Government corruption isn't abstract — it's specific, documented, and ongoing. Here are the issues we're fighting, the evidence we've gathered, and what your donation makes possible.
BRIBERY & QUID PRO QUO CORRUPTION
Elected officials are accepting cash, gifts, and favors in exchange for legislative votes, regulatory decisions, and government contracts — and getting away with it.
Federal bribery statutes exist, but enforcement is inconsistent and politically motivated. Prosecutors routinely decline cases involving sitting members of Congress, citing "prosecutorial discretion" — a euphemism for political protection.
AIG has documented over 40 cases of suspected quid pro quo corruption in the past three years alone. We investigate, compile evidence, and refer cases to federal prosecutors — and when they refuse to act, we take legal action to compel accountability.

UNREGULATED LOBBYING & INFLUENCE PEDDLING
Billions of dollars flow from corporations and special interests to Washington every year, purchasing access and outcomes that serve the few at the expense of the many.
The revolving door between government and the lobbying industry is spinning faster than ever. Former regulators become lobbyists for the industries they once oversaw. Former legislators cash in on relationships built with taxpayer-funded salaries.
AIG advocates for strict cooling-off periods, full disclosure of all lobbying contacts, and criminal penalties for undisclosed influence operations. We track the money, name the players, and demand reform.
Fight Influence Peddling
DARK MONEY & CAMPAIGN FINANCE ABUSE
Hundreds of millions of dollars pour into elections every cycle from anonymous donors — buying politicians, distorting democracy, and leaving voters in the dark.
Since Citizens United, dark money has exploded. Shell nonprofits and LLCs funnel unlimited, undisclosed cash into campaigns, making it impossible for voters to know who is really funding the candidates they elect.
AIG supports mandatory disclosure of all political contributions above $200, elimination of dark money vehicles, and real-time public reporting of campaign finance activity. We litigate against dark money operations and expose their donors.

CONGRESSIONAL INSIDER TRADING
Members of Congress routinely trade stocks in industries they regulate — profiting from non-public information while their constituents pay the price.
The STOCK Act was supposed to stop congressional insider trading. It hasn't. Dozens of members file late disclosures, pay trivial fines, and continue trading with impunity. The law has no real teeth — and those in power have no incentive to sharpen it.
AIG tracks every congressional stock trade, cross-references them with legislative activity and committee assignments, and publishes our findings publicly. We have referred multiple cases to the SEC and DOJ for investigation.
Stop Insider TradingMORE CORRUPTION WE'RE FIGHTING
Disclosure & Transparency Failures
Officials routinely fail to disclose financial conflicts of interest. We push for stronger disclosure laws and enforce existing ones.
Abuse of Government Contracts
No-bid contracts, inflated pricing, and kickbacks cost taxpayers billions. We investigate and expose corrupt procurement practices.
Obstruction of Justice
Powerful officials use their positions to obstruct investigations into their own misconduct. We document it and demand accountability.
Misuse of Public Funds
From lavish travel to personal enrichment, public officials steal from taxpayers. We track it, expose it, and demand restitution.
"Knowing about corruption is not enough. Fighting it requires resources, legal firepower, and relentless pressure."
