The United States of America is unique. We were isolated enough that the founding fathers could use their ability to reason in order to construct a blueprint for this nation…before it was born. The Constitution was created after they experienced the misgivings of tyranny, autocracy and dictatorships.
The founding fathers were not only enlightened trailblazers, but brilliantly pessimistic about human nature. They created a government of balanced powers with checks and balances in which our worst tendencies cancelled each other out somehow. They put down the blueprints for a government of the people, by the people and for the people.

We are questioning if this contract has been broken.

-The current administration has dismantled many US agencies like USAID, and the Department of Education despite the Congressional Constitutional mandates in creating and dismantling such agencies. The Trump administration refuses to spend funds that the Congress has approved, and tariffs are being imposed weekly by the current executive branch’ -even though the Constitution grants Congress alone the ‘power of the purse’. Truly this Congress has recently handed much of its powers to the executive branch and is no longer beholden to its voters.

-In 2024, the spending on the Senate races alone broke all records with $1.5 billion spent in total - 65% of which came from super-PACs. The dark money that went into the 2024 elections is estimated to be around 1.9 billion. Money has flooded the campaigns to the point in which the only people electable are those in the elite wealthy circles, who have the same ideals and beliefs that the super-PACs and billionaires are willing to fund.

-One of the most conspicuous super-PAC is the Make America Great Again Inc. with $125 million in donations from billionaire Tim Mellon, this last cycle, and $15 million from Elon Musk. Massive amounts of dark money come into these campaigns through mysterious shell entities, and in both parties, there is a small group or family that strategically sits at the center of these vast networks of funding dollars. By the Constitution, Congressional Representatives were meant to reflect the mandates of their voters. The strategic control over election funding upends this and reduces our choices as voters. It also eliminates many citizens from participating in elections.

-Most are aware that the current administration asked the red states to re-district so that only their party’s candidates could win, despite the founding fathers’ directive that it should only be in response the census run every 10 years. Now the blue states are following suit. Gerrymandering is snowballing - making our votes nearly obsolete and disillusioning the public - making Americans lose confidence in their power to vote.

-The current Supreme Court has a 6-2 conservative super majority. Many of its recent decisions are going into the ‘shadow docket’ in which a full judgement is not allowed and offers no explanation for their decisions. It can no longer be said that the Supreme Court is unbiased, and not politicized. People have lost faith in the highest court and are unclear where the rule of law now stands with no explanations for their decisions.

-The Executive Branch has legally attacked many news agencies and universities. With an army of lawyers, they push the boundaries of the Constitution weekly. Scholars and the working class alike are questioning if American freedoms such as the freedom of speech, the freedom of the press, and the freedom to assemble are capitulating to executive extortion.

-As citizens we believe that politicians need to stop acting like they own the place. - They don’t. We do.

-We believe that the Constitutional powers given to Congress needs to be returned and reinforced.

-We believe that the recently enhanced powers of the Executive branch must be curtailed and executive orders should have more requirements.

- We believe that the court system should never be politically biased, and that every court should adhere to norms of conduct regarding gifts, and conflicts of interest.

-We encourage returning to the concept of a fluid Constitution with amendments as our founding fathers wished - allowing the judicial system a clear directive to follow.

- We believe that gerrymandering and money flooding our political campaigns reduces the citizen’s Constitutional Power of the Vote and must be curtailed.

-Finally, we believe that all members of each branch should abide by the same laws as required of us as a nation of citizens.
