We, the American People, are fed up.
All we have been asking for is a basic, dignified human standard of living: with clean air and water, food, shelter, healthcare, education, and safety. We’re literally just trying to maintain homeostasis.
We were told that to fix the problems in society all we had to do was elect the right Republican candidates or these particular Democrats.
This was a lie.
The truth is, Democrat and Republican Parties are owned and operated by a handful wealthy elites for their own benefit. This same small group of megarich also own and control most of what we read, watch, listen to, buy, eat, wear, and drive. Their actions and policies touch every area of our lives and have driven the U.S, and the planet, to near breaking points.
They have all the money.
They have all the power.
They make all the rules.
They brought us to this point.
They will not save us.
What do we do now?
We have to save ourselves, it’s DIY all the way.
We grow a network of hundreds of thousands of small, decentralized, consensus driven groups of real, regular, American people working across space and time toward the same vision.

Guiding Principles
As average Americans electing ourselves to operate our government for ourselves, we can’t go wrong with these basic principles:
Live and Let Live
As kids, we thought America was a "free country". Now we'll make it one.
Solve problems at their root cause
with evidence-based, proven solutions. No more bandaids on bullet wounds.
Expose and Punish Corruption
If we, average citizens, behaved like the corporate elite, we'd be thrown under the jail. No one is above the law.
Take care of Our Veterans
We owe them and they deserve it.
Quit Pissing Away the Taxes we Pay
Common sense budgeting that prioritizes us, not a handful of the megarich.
