We the People –

Literally.

"This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing Government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it..."
Abraham Lincoln, First Inaugural Address, 1861

The Constitution is the only thing that safeguards the people and prevents the three branches of government from abusing their power. The United States has the oldest active constitution in the world, where any attempt to amend it gets sold as a Herculean task. Well, Hercules finished all twelve despite the Gods. So can we.

Ask not what your country can do for you — tell them.

Here is where you can do it with only a click of a button. Democracy does not ask the people to serve their government. It tells the government to serve the people.

Every Time a Vote Is Blocked, 
a Politician Gets Their Wings

Throughout history, political parties have tried to control the vote—restricting voters, redistricting, or claiming fraud. They claim to know what voters want. If that were true, the United States wouldn't have one of the lowest voter turnouts in the developed world.

Here, your vote counts. One vote = one real, verified U.S. citizen eligible to vote (18+) that can't be ignored. No bots. No foreign actors. No one will know who are you. What they will know is your power to vote them in (or out) of office.

$0.82. That's it. $0.50 for Stripe's identity service, $0.32 in processing. Citizens Before Politics doesn't keep a cent. Simply put, $0.82 times millions isn't in the budget.

This site doesn't assume $0.82 is easy for everyone. You can sponsor a verification for someone who can't pay, or use a sponsor credit if you need one. The count is posted so you always know where it stands. No one is excluded.

The 4 Horsemen 
of Democracy

Giddy up, America. It's time to put these horsemen back in the stables. The categories are built on the four principles every democracy needs to survive: free and fair elections, rule of law, checks and balances, and individual rights and civil liberties. The first three have to be corralled before the fourth comes home on its own.

We Got Five On It.

Hundreds of advocacy groups are fighting for policy change. This isn't one of them. Policy matters, but it can be repealed, overturned, or ignored the moment power shifts. Amendments are the foundation that makes policy stick.

 

  • Laws
    Repealed by the next Congress or nullified through precedent.
  • Executive Orders
    Expire with each administration.
  • Court Decisions
    Overturned, reinterpreted, or ignored.
  • Constitutional Amendments
    Bind every branch, every state, every future government.
    No administration touches it. No court rewrites it. No majority repeals it.
