DISMANTLE ICANN AND RESTORE AMERICAN DIGITAL SOVEREIGNTY

The Issue

PETITION TO DISMANTLE ICANN AND RESTORE AMERICAN DIGITAL SOVEREIGNTY

We demand the immediate dismantling of ICANN and restoration of U.S. control over the internet infrastructure America created.

In 2016, the obama administration surrendered control of the internet's foundation to foreign boards through ICANN. This "globalized" system has become a racketeering enterprise that:

1. Steals American Digital Property: Through WIPO's UDRP, foreign entities can seize American-owned domains for $1,500 without due process
2. Enables Corporate Espionage: Domain seizures grant access to company emails, trade secrets, and sensitive data
3. Violates National Security: Foreign actors gain control over American business communications
4. Terrorizes American Families: Attorneys use swatting and false reports to intimidate business owners

THE BETRAYAL:
Americans defeated SOPA in 2012 to prevent exactly this type of unchecked digital seizure power. By releasing ICANN to foreign control, our government implemented global SOPA by stealth—giving foreign boards the power we fought to prevent.

OUR DEMANDS:

1. DISMANTLE ICANN: Immediately dissolve this captured entity and restore U.S. sovereignty over domain infrastructure
2. EXPEL WIPO: Withdraw from all WIPO arbitration and close their U.S. operations
3. MANDATE DELAWARE JURISDICTION: Pass legislation requiring all digital property disputes involving Americans to be heard exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery
4. PROSECUTE DOMESTIC ENABLERS: Investigate and prosecute attorneys participating in this racket, including those using swatting as intimidation
5. RESTORE STOLEN PROPERTY: Return all domains seized through WIPO proceedings to their American owners

THIS IS ABOUT SOVEREIGNTY AND SECURITY:
While politicians debate TikTok, foreign boards already control whether American businesses can exist online. This isn't about left or right—it's about America surrendering control of what it built to hostile interests.

We built the internet. We will not be governed by foreign boards that steal our property and terrorize our citizens.

SIGN TO DEMAND ACTION BEFORE YOU BECOME THEIR NEXT VICTIM.
