ABOUT
WE THE PEOPLE
We seek to unite people of all ideological backgrounds for common action.
As Lincoln said
"A House Divided Cannot Stand"
Our Mission
We believe it's time to change how political parties operate because we want real results that improve our lives and bring visible, meaningful change.
For over 120 years, parties like the Democrats and Republicans have been built on the same model. This system works well for those in power, ensuring 98% of incumbents get re-elected even when Congress has an approval rating as low as 12-18%.
The establishment in Washington, D.C., figured out long ago that by subtly manipulating the system — what they call "nudging democracy"—they could achieve results that concentrate power. As they say, the devil is in the details.
Our solution is simple: go back to basics. Let's redesign a political party rooted in the Golden Rule — treat others as you would want to be treated. It's time for a system that works for everyone, not just the powerful few.
This means giving power to the people - right now. Political parties usually have a tiny few in DC HQ or State Capitols decide who gets to run for office, who controls the issues people can talk about on stage, and where the money goes.
We do the opposite. Give you the power day 1.
A De-centralized Party - Is Better For All Members
Our Members Select Candidates
All members in good standing (registered, signed Anti-corruption pledge) vote on who their candidates are for a neighborhood, city, county and state.
If members vote, there are many federal laws about lobby's, corporations, and special interests groups being unable to change a citizens vote.
Meaning its a strong anti-corruption measure.
National Controls Candidates
Typically any party you've heard of controls the primaries, who can run, and legally can manually select candidates, primaries are typically symbolic as parties are legally corporations who can select leaders at will.
When running for office candidates can donate to parties. It's standard, and plays a big role in who gets picked - the largest donor or a party insider.
So by design party leaders are small groups who in most states can take huge donations to effect outcomes and have no checks and balances.
Our Members Control Issues
All members in good standing vote on what their Top 5 issues at the city, county and state-wide level are.
Candidates must commit to 3/5 of these issues at a minimum. This is far more than most politicians in practice.
This allows for a wide range of intellectual diversity, while encouraging unity and collaboration.
National Controls Issues
When polled the majority of Americans align on over 90 percent of issues.
But a small group of people in party leadership pick an even smaller set of issues decade to decade - not what people actually care about.
We hear often just echo's of DC lobbying and dollars.
It's gotten so bad that we don't in most cases have data on what people want in their city or state, beyond broad hard to apply national rhetoric.
Making consensus building hard. Good leaders, need good data.
Our Members Control Money
Up to 70% of money by-laws allocate to a General Fund, that every 6 months is voted on by all members once party gets basic state Executive Committee setup. You control majority of money.
National Controls Money
When a small group can take donations to change their mind, control all the money coming in and going out - there aren't good incentives to avoid corruption.
By letting citizens vote we can minimize this universal problem.
If you have a financial incentive to pick candidates, issues, and to direct your funds in one direction - it likely will happen.
Especially since there is no oversight.
