WE'LL NEVER EMAIL, TEXT, MAIL, OR SEND A DRONE ASKING FOR MORE MONEY

A lobby you can join.
$4.99 a year.
Members pick the fight.

Not a party, not a PAC, not a donation. Republicans, Democrats, and independents on the same terms.

Every member ranks our member priorities. The top three become the Member Mandate, meaning the three we actually work on. The vote is the part that's members-only. That's what the $4.99 buys.

MEMBERS-ONLY: rank your priorities → set the Member Mandate → lead the fight

You tell us. We tell Washington.

Built by Robert Malvin. Not a PAC, not a party. Read his note.

Our pledge: we never sell your personal information, and your survey answers are never shared in any identifiable way. Your voice is never tied to your name. Read our Privacy Policy.

Non-partisan. No party. No cultural battles. Republicans, Democrats, and independents welcome.
$4.99/year, priced so no one is left out
A few minutes a month. A number Washington has to count.

You called your representative's office. You got hold music, then a voicemail. You emailed. You got a form letter with your name in the first line and nothing you said in the rest. That's what one voice gets you. Not because anyone's evil. Because one voice, alone, is ignorable, and everybody in that building knows it.

MEMBER PRIORITIES

Your priorities.
You set the order.

Most of us already agree on these. The only argument left is which one to fix first, and that order isn't ours to pick. Members rank them, and the rankings set the agenda (the one vote on this whole page that's members-only). So: what would you fix first?

If a list with both secure borders and lower drug costs on it doesn't look like anybody's team, that's the point.

6 Every member ranks all six prioritiesIdentical for everyone. Equal voice.
3 The top three become the Member MandateWhat we actively work in Washington: research, actions, follow-through.
1 The members' #1 leadsOur primary focus, pressed first and hardest, until members re-rank it.

The only fight at Main Street Lobby is what we fix first.

You tell us. We tell Washington.

End Waste, Fraud & Abuse

Every tax dollar should be accounted for. We press for rigorous audits, transparent federal spending, recovery of improper payments, and real consequences when public money is misused.

Ban Congressional Stock Trading

They write the rules and trade the stocks. Serving in Congress shouldn't come with a trading desk.

Secure Elections

Democracy depends on elections every citizen can trust: verifiable, secure, and transparent, so every legitimate vote counts and everyone can see that it does.

Term Limits for Congress

Washington was never meant to be a lifetime appointment. Regular turnover, fresh voices, a government that comes home.

Lower Drug & Health Costs

You shouldn't need a lobbyist to afford your prescriptions. Lower costs for the people who actually pay the bills.

Secure Borders

A nation that works is a nation that controls its borders: effective enforcement paired with a functional legal immigration system.

Is your issue missing?

Members can submit new issues anytime. Every November, we poll the full member base: you re-rank the current priorities and vote on submitted alternatives. Anything that outranks our lowest priority takes its spot for the year ahead.

The cards above still shuffle to a random order on every visit. The order isn't ours to set; the live ranking belongs to members. One published exception: when Congress makes a real move on a Member Mandate issue, the spotlight can shift to that issue. As always, every ask is evidence-backed before a campaign launches: members set the direction, we do the homework.

Robert Malvin, founder of Main Street Lobby
A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER

I'm Robert, and I built this. For a long time I believed everyday Americans deserved a voice in Washington and hoped someone would build it. In July I stopped waiting. A month later there's a real organization here: a lobby you can join, five dollars a year, the same vote for everyone, and the member vote decides what we work on. Full stop. Not negotiable.

That part matters to me more than any other. Every two years the parties spend millions telling you they represent you, and then their platforms get written in a room you were never in. That's true of both of them, and it's the reason this lobby has no platform of its own. The members write it.

Building it was the easy part. The hard part needs you. I can't buy attention, and I won't pretend the numbers are bigger than they are. What I can promise is that I'll keep at it and stay honest with you the whole way. If enough of us are as fed up as I am, we build this on members, not dollars.

If you look and it isn't for you, tell me why. That's worth as much to me as the five bucks.

OUR PLEDGES

What we will never do.

We built Main Street Lobby around the reasons people quit giving money to causes they actually believe in. Here's what we're promising instead, in writing.

We will never email, text, direct mail, or send a drone to your home to ask you for more money.
Your $4.99 is the whole ask. If you ever choose to give more, that's on your terms, not a campaign we run, and it won't buy a louder vote than anyone else's. The only money emails you'll ever get are the boring ones: your receipt and the annual renewal reminder the law requires. Neither asks for a dime more.
Give $5 or $500, you get exactly the same vote.
No donor tiers. No VIP access. One member, one voice, always.
We will never sell, rent, or share your information.
Your survey answers appear only in aggregate, never tied to your name.
You will never get a form letter back.
When you act, we show you exactly what happened, published office by office, not buried in a newsletter nobody reads.
FROM THE RECORD

The homework, published.

The Tyranny of the Organized

120,000 people are rewriting the rules for 340 million. The answer isn't to fight them. It's to outnumber them on paper, where it counts.

The Epstein Vote Was 427 to 1. Forcing the Vote Was the Hard Part.

The bill nearly the whole House supported needed 218 public signatures just to get a vote. The same tool is sitting 134 names short on the one issue 86 percent of the country agrees on.

You've Been Arguing About the SAVE Act. The Senate Still Calls It a Veterans Bill.

In February the House struck a veterans bill's entire text and inserted a new version of the SAVE Act. That rewrite, not the bill you've read about, is what's parked in the Senate.

Washington doesn't count how many people agree with something. It counts how many of them are organized enough to be counted.

One more member changes that number. Right now it's one short.

WHY $4.99?

Cheap enough for everyone.
Real enough to count.

Free clicks are easy to dismiss. Paid membership, even a small one, is a commitment lawmakers understand, and at $4.99 a year, it's within reach of virtually every American.

Commitment, not clicktivismDues-paying members are counted, verified, and impossible to wave away.
No one priced outLess than a cup of coffee. Per year. Everyone gets the same voice.

Rank your priorities.
Set the Member Mandate.

A few minutes a month. The vote is the part that's members-only. That's what the $4.99 buys.

Cancel anytime. No donor tiers, no spam, no special access for anyone: your $4.99 buys exactly the same voice as everyone else's. Receipts and the law-required annual renewal reminder are the only money emails you'll ever get.
