American Citizens Taking Back Our Power
American Citizens Taking Back Our Power
The Issue
As citizens grappling with a government that feels increasingly disconnected from its people, we demand a complete overhaul of our political system—a system presently designed to benefit and protect primarily the elite 1%. We can no longer accept the pervasive corruption fuelled by money politics while our families and communities struggle just to get by.
In our current political climate, lobby groups like AIPAC and various foreign lobbyists exert substantial influence that often overrides the broader public interest. The magnitude of the lobbying economy was a startling $3.5 billion in 2020 (Source: Open Secrets), starkly illustrating the amount of money dictating our political narrative.
The time has come to remove money from politics, to sever ties with powerful lobbying groups and restore democratic principles. We believe that the power is in our hands, in our everyday decisions, specifically - our spending. Envisage a mass boycott of everything unnecessary for human survival, leveraging our spending as a peaceful yet effective strike against the machinery of politics. A decisive move like this targets those in power where it hurts the most—their wallets.
Our collective action can disrupt the status quo, install the reform we desire and establish a just system that works for all, not just the 1%. Every time the system oversteps its boundaries, we can strike again, continuing the cycle until our demands are met.
We're tired. Tired of substandard living conditions, of having our civil liberties compromised, tired of funding endless wars instead of meeting the needs of the many. But we also realize our potential and our strength in unity.
Because of this: our government is not at war with abstract concepts. It's at war with us—its citizens.
Join us as we assert our power. Stand for change. It's time to get off this never-ending merry-go-round of corruption. Now is the time to demand a government that works for us, not against us.
If you are ready to make some drastic, and potentially uncomfortable changes to take back our country from our corrupt and soulless government. And if you are ready to commit to a spending freeze, Sign the petition and let’s get started!
