The Farewell Party – An Independent Movement for True Patriots

Fellow Americans,

We are the Farewell Party, a grassroots, independent political movement born from the timeless wisdom of George Washington's Farewell Address. We're not beholden to the corrupt two-party machine or foreign interests—we're everyday citizens tired of being manipulated by politicians who serve hidden masters. Inspired by Washington's urgent warning to "steer clear of permanent alliances" and guard against "the insidious wiles of foreign influence," we stand for undivided loyalty to America alone. Our 7 Pillars guide us to unite disillusioned Republicans, Democrats, and Independents in reclaiming our republic. Today, we launch this petition to demand the 28th Amendment: a ban on dual citizenship in all elected offices. Sign now, share with every patriot you know, and let's rally our nation to protect what makes us American—before we lose it forever.

The Crisis We Face: Foreign Shadows in Our Halls of Power

Imagine waking up to a country where your leaders' hearts are divided, their decisions swayed by loyalties to distant lands. That's not a nightmare—it's our reality. Right now, in the United States, at least 20 members of Congress hold or have held dual citizenship, with estimates reaching hundreds at state and local levels. Think about it: Former Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-NJ) maintained Polish citizenship while shaping U.S. foreign policy; Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) renounced Canadian citizenship only after public outcry in 2014; and dozens more, like Rep. Elaine Chao with Taiwanese ties, have influenced trade deals favoring foreign powers. At the state level, over 500 elected officials—from California city councils to New York assemblies—report dual citizenship, often to countries like Mexico, Israel, or China, where lobbying groups pour millions to tilt policies on immigration, defense, and economy.

These dual loyalties aren't harmless—they're a direct pipeline for foreign influence. AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobby, funnels over $100 million annually to U.S. politicians, many with Israeli dual citizenship or ties, pushing billions in aid despite our soaring debt. Chinese-connected officials have been accused of espionage, like the case of Christine Fang infiltrating California politics. And Russian dual citizens in local offices have echoed Kremlin narratives during election interference probes. This isn't speculation—it's documented in reports from the FBI and DHS, where foreign nations exploit divided allegiances to manipulate votes on sanctions, borders, and wars. Pride in our sovereignty demands we act: What does it mean to be American if our leaders can pledge allegiance elsewhere?

Look to Europe as our warning—a continent crumbling under migration crises where dual-citizen politicians prioritize foreign agendas over national identity. In Sweden, dual Turkish-Swedish officials have blocked NATO entry to appease Erdogan; in Germany, dual citizens with Middle Eastern ties have influenced refugee policies leading to cultural clashes and economic strain. Riots, identity loss, and political instability follow—over 70% of Europeans now fear "loss of national identity" due to unchecked influence, per Eurobarometer polls. This is our foreshadowing: Without action, America's melting pot becomes a boiling cauldron of foreign control, eroding the pride of our flag, the loss of our shared heritage, and the manipulation of our future by unseen hands.

The Solution: The 28th Amendment – A Shield for American Loyalty

We propose this ironclad amendment to ban dual citizenship in politics forever. Here's the full text—clear, unbreakable, and rooted in our founders' vision:

Section 1. No person who holds citizenship in any foreign nation, or who has held such citizenship within the preceding ten years without formal and verifiable renunciation, shall be eligible to hold any elected public office in the United States, whether at the federal, state, or local level. This prohibition applies to all positions requiring election by the people, including but not limited to the Presidency, Vice Presidency, members of Congress, governors, state legislators, mayors, county commissioners, school board members, and any other elected roles established by law.

Section 2. All individuals currently holding elected office must certify under oath their sole United States citizenship within ninety days of this Amendment's ratification. Failure to comply, or the discovery of false certification, shall result in immediate removal from office, permanent disqualification from future public service, and potential criminal penalties as defined by Congress or state legislatures.

Section 3. Renunciation of foreign citizenship must be absolute, documented, and publicly verifiable, with no retention of passports, voting rights, or other privileges from foreign nations. Immigrants who have legally naturalized as U.S. citizens must complete a ten-year waiting period post-renunciation before seeking elected office, during which they demonstrate undivided loyalty through civic engagement and adherence to American laws.

Section 4. Congress and the several states shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation, including the establishment of verification mechanisms, investigative bodies, and penalties for violations. This Amendment shall not be construed to affect non-elected appointments or private citizenship rights, but it shall supersede any conflicting state constitutions or laws.

Section 5. This Amendment shall take effect one year after ratification to allow for orderly transitions and certifications.

Why Sign Now? Your Voice Can Change History

You're tired of politicians selling out—endless wars funded by your taxes, borders ignored while jobs flee, and decisions made in foreign boardrooms. Feel the fear: If we don't act, our children's America will be run by shadows loyal to Beijing or Tel Aviv. Feel the pride: Stand with Washington, reclaim the sovereignty that made us exceptional. Feel the loss: Without this, we forfeit our identity as a self-governing people. History proves petitions work—Justice for George Floyd (26 million signatures) forced police reforms; Stop Kony (3.7 million) spotlighted child soldiers; Brexit's second referendum (6 million) shook the UK. Your signature joins millions demanding the same: undivided loyalty.

This isn't about hate—it's about pride in our sovereignty, a deep-seated belief that America’s strength lies in the undivided loyalty of those who govern us. It’s a call to honor the sacrifices of our founders, who forged a nation free from foreign chains, and to protect the legacy of self-governance that defines us as a people. This is not a rejection of diversity or inclusion but a reaffirmation of the principle that those entrusted with power must pledge their hearts and minds to this land alone—ensuring our laws reflect American values, not the agendas of distant capitals.

It’s factual and grounded in the Constitution: Under Article V, 34 states—two-thirds of the 50—must submit formal applications to Congress to call a constitutional convention, where state delegates can propose the 28th Amendment directly, bypassing a corrupt Congress that refuses to act. Once proposed, 38 states—three-quarters of the union—must ratify it through their legislatures or special state conventions, cementing it as law without a single vote from Washington if needed. This state-driven path, though untested for full ratification, has historical roots: the 1787 Constitutional Convention was state-called, and the 21st Amendment (1933) used state conventions to bypass resistant lawmakers. Today, with only Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie offering support, we rely on the people and their statehouses to reclaim this power—34 to ignite the flame, 38 to make it law.

The numbers are clear: start with red states like Texas (application filed), Florida, and Louisiana, then rally purple states like Georgia and Ohio to reach the threshold.
