JFK American Sovereignty Act of 1962 (ASA): Protect America. End Foreign Corruption. Restore Citizen Power.

Fellow Americans,

For decades, corrupt foreign influence has undermined the integrity of American politics - leaving our democracy vulnerable. Lobbyists, PR firms, foreign government warmongers and profiteers of conflict funnel resources into U.S. policy for their own gain, harming the sovereignty, safety, and future of our nation.

The JFK American Sovereignty Act of 1962 (ASA) finishes what President Kennedy set out to achieve — protecting America from hidden manipulation, restoring accountability, and empowering citizens with direct oversight of foreign commitments.

To restore accountability and protect America’s sovereignty, this petition calls for the following reforms:

1. Independent Oversight Committee — A citizen-accountable body with authority to investigate, audit, and enforce foreign influence laws.
2. Violation Enforcement & Penalties — International Treason laws with severe consequences: fines determined by the committee, substantial enough to deter malicious foreign influence; minimum 20-year prison terms; lifetime bans for violators and foreign profiteers; asset seizures; and sanctions.
3. Accountability of Foreign Entities — Direct consequences for foreign governments, lobbyists, and organizations that attempt to manipulate U.S. politics.
4. Citizen Review & Veto — Annual citizen votes on all foreign aid, military policies, and ongoing foreign arrangements. American citizens gain the power to veto any current, past, or future commitments that compromise sovereignty or constitutional rights.
5. Real-Time Disclosure — A searchable public database of all foreign lobbying and influence activities, with citizens guaranteed full access to unredacted disclosures.

Too often, hidden lobbying enables foreign regimes to influence U.S. laws and priorities in ways that extend beyond foreign relations. As constituents of this great nation, we believe that American policies should be shaped by its citizens, not by influence from foreign governments. This petition speaks for all Americans who are affected when outside forces steer our democracy toward their own interests, without transparency or accountability.

The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) was introduced in 1938 to protect the U.S. from covert foreign influence. However, for decades, corrupt foreign influence has undermined the integrity of American politics, exploiting loopholes and weak enforcement. Lobbyists, PR firms, foreign government warmongers and profiteers of conflict funnel massive funds into exorbitant foreign aid packages and endless military entanglements, distorting the democratic process and compromising the integrity of our government. President John F. Kennedy himself recognized these dangers in 1962 and sought to strengthen FARA to shield America from hidden foreign manipulation — a mission left unfinished, which this petition now seeks to complete.

To secure America’s sovereignty and finish what President Kennedy began, this petition calls for the following critical reforms:

Independent Committee: Establish an independent oversight committee dedicated solely to the enforcement of FARA.

This committee will encompass:

Mission:

Protect the integrity of U.S. democracy by ensuring full compliance with FARA.

Leadership:

The committee shall be led by a multi-member leadership structure to guarantee balance, expertise, and accountability.

This leadership must include:

At least one distinguished and proven leader with an “America First” record in public service (e.g., Curt Weldon).

At least two additional appointed leaders with demonstrated national security and international policy expertise, each subject to a thorough and transparent background review to ensure they maintain a record of integrity and independence from inappropriate foreign influence.

All leaders must be confirmed through a committee-wide review and/or American citizen voting process to secure legitimacy and public trust. The voting systems must be approved by the Independent Committee Leader.

Once appointed, the leadership shall hold sole authority over the committee. No other government division, body, or persons will have the power or authority to add, remove, or modify the committee staffing, policies, or any legislation set forth by the leadership or its proxies. Any proxy leadership must be formally designated in writing and presented after a full committee review and citizen voting/veto process.

Citizen Re-Approval:

All leadership positions must face citizen re-approval votes every 4–6 years to ensure continued public confidence.

These votes must be fully transparent, with results verified by the independent committee.

All other appointed leaders are required to vote and vet these citizenship votes in recorded hearings, with full recordings uploaded to the independent committee’s website for public access.

Any bad actors, manipulation, or interference in this process — whether by committee members, staff, or any other government body — shall be treated as federal treason.

Authority:

Conduct audits, subpoena records, investigate violations, and enforce compliance without political interference. 

This includes thorough investigation and follow-up of so-called “Conspiracy Theories” reported by American citizens, regardless of their nature, if related to any foreign affairs connected to U.S. foreign aid, military, policy, or alliances.

A publicly accessible, optionally anonymous, reporting website must be established to allow citizens to submit these concerns safely and directly to the committee.

Resources:

Be guaranteed adequate funding and staffing to perform thorough oversight.

If inefficient funding is available at any time, the Independent Committee Leadership may request a vote/veto from American citizens to redirect funding from existing foreign financial aid arrangements to ensure continued funding and domestic support for this protection act — prioritizing the safeguarding of all American citizens first.

Transparency:

Publish regular reports and make detailed reviews of any and all foreign aid, foreign policies, foreign arrangements, and foreign benefits of any kind through or with the U.S., in regards to financials, military, or diplomatic relations, available to the public in a searchable online database — ensuring citizens can monitor the committee’s work and hold it accountable.

No government agency, body, or official may redact, censor, delay, or restrict any information contained in these reviews.

Staffing Safeguards:

Committee staffing must be rigorously vetted and continuously monitored to ensure foreign occupiers or compromised individuals cannot infiltrate or influence the committee.

Whistleblower & Victim Protection:

The committee must establish secure and anonymous channels for whistleblowers and victims of corrupt foreign actions, such as blackmail, to report wrongdoing without fear of retaliation. These protections must include full legal immunity, confidentiality, and federal safeguards to ensure their voices are heard and protected. Any attempt by a government body, official, or foreign actor to intimidate, harm, or silence whistleblowers or victims shall be considered federal and/or international treason.

Violation Enforcement and Penalties

Introduce extremely strict penalties for those who violate FARA, including significant fines and potential imprisonment, to deter wrongdoing and ensure adherence to the law. This also includes an International Treason provision prohibiting foreign governments or their party members from secretly funding, directing, or influencing U.S. policy outside of recognized diplomatic or foreign policy channels.

Penalties for International Treason:

Financial Fines: Determined by the independent committee and its leadership, substantial enough to deter malicious foreign influence, for corporations, lobbyists, PR firms, or foreign government warmongers and profiteers of conflict caught channeling foreign money into U.S. politics.

Criminal Sentences: A minimum of 20 years imprisonment for individuals who knowingly conspire with foreign regimes, lobbyists, PR firms, or foreign government warmongers and profiteers of conflict to manipulate U.S. laws or policies.

Lifetime Political Ban: Any U.S. citizen, and/or any Foreign Official or Entity, convicted of International Treason would be permanently barred from holding elected office, lobbying, working in government positions, or engaging in U.S. political activity.

Asset Seizure: Confiscation of assets gained through illegal foreign contracts or influence operations.

Foreign Entity Sanctions: Immediate sanctions or bans against foreign governments, organizations, or warmongers and profiteers of conflict found guilty of repeated treasonous interference.

Citizen Oversight: Grant American citizens the voting right to reject or remove foreign policies, with all such citizen systems to be monitored, reviewed, and presented by the independent committee to ensure security and legitimacy. No other government division, branch, body, or official may interfere with, override, or alter these citizen oversight systems. Any attempt to manipulate or falsify outcomes shall be considered federal treason and prosecuted as such.

Accountability of Foreign Entities:

Hold foreign governments and organizations directly accountable for violations, ensuring they cannot hide behind lobbyists, shell companies, or intermediaries. This includes banning entities that repeatedly break disclosure laws — including foreign government warmongers and profiteers of conflict — from engaging in U.S. political activities altogether.

Citizen Power: Empower American citizens with the voting right to call for the removal of foreign government influence, with each exercise of this right overseen and validated by the independent committee to guarantee accuracy and prevent abuse. No outside government division, branch, body, or official may alter, override, interfere with, or manipulate this citizen authority. Any such attempt shall be considered federal treason and punished accordingly.

Citizen Review & Veto on Foreign Commitments:

Institute a system of full and recurring citizen oversight on all U.S. foreign commitments, including:

Annual Citizen Review: Require American citizens to vote annually on the continuation of foreign military policies, foreign financial aid, and foreign political benefits that directly affect the nation.

Veto Rights: Grant American citizens the right to veto all current, past, and future foreign aid, military arrangements, or foreign policies that are still in effect, especially those shown to harm U.S. sovereignty, violate constitutional rights, or enable foreign government warmongers and profiteers of conflict to abuse American resources and trust.

Transparency: All foreign agreements subject to review must be disclosed publicly, with full financial and political details accessible to the American people.

Independent Committee Review: All citizen voting and veto processes will be directly monitored, reviewed, and presented by the independent committee to maintain constitutional integrity and protect against foreign tampering.

Committee Authority: The systems and methods used for citizen voting and veto powers must be chosen and approved solely by the independent committee — and by no other division, branch, body, or government official. Any interference, manipulation, or denial of citizen veto outcomes shall be considered federal treason and punished under the highest penalties of law.

Real-Time Disclosure:

Require agents representing foreign entities to report their activities and financial transactions within 48 hours. This transparency will allow the public — and law enforcement — to monitor and respond quickly to potentially harmful foreign influence.

Public Access: All disclosures must be made available to citizens through a public and searchable online database, allowing Americans to see exactly which foreign powers are attempting to influence their government and representatives. This database must also clearly identify when any lobbyist, firm, official, or entity has ties to foreign government warmongers and profiteers of conflict, ensuring citizens can track these actors transparently and in real time.

Citizen Requests: Grant American citizens the right to request additional or full disclosure of any information or documentation within the database. All such requests must be fully granted, without redactions, by the independent committee leadership. The process may also include oversight through approved citizen voting systems when necessary. Any denial, delay, tampering, or censorship of these requests — whether by committee leadership, staff, or any official — shall be considered federal treason.

Protection Against Censorship: No government agency, body, or official may deny, restrict, or redact any citizen-requested disclosure without the review and approval of the independent committee and, where necessary, the approval of citizen voting processes. Any attempt otherwise shall be treated as federal treason. This guarantees that transparency remains a citizen-protected right, not subject to political manipulation.

Whistleblower & Victim Protection: Citizens, whistleblowers, and victims of corrupt foreign actions such as blackmail must be guaranteed access to safe reporting mechanisms tied directly to the public database. Reports of concealment, fraud, retaliation, or corruption linked to foreign influence must trigger immediate investigation by the independent committee. Full protection of identity, legal standing, and safety will be federally mandated. Retaliation of any kind shall be prosecuted as federal and/or international treason.

By enacting these reforms, we can secure a political environment free from the shadows of inappropriate foreign influence. 

Corruption is not a partisan issue — it’s an American issue. By joining together to demand accountability and transparency, we can ensure that the voices shaping our policies are those of the American people alone.
