How do we stop the abuse of power?
Congress is cheating the American public out of a system that is designed to work for all.
These issues can be complex but each action is a piece of the puzzle to restore democracy.
Step 1
Restore Voters Trust in Government and Elections.
(REMOVE) these.
- Make Gerrymandering illegal
- Remove dark money in politics
- End Corporate Lobbying
(ADD) these.
+ Term Limits for Congress
+ Election Day = National Holiday
+ Non-partisan primaries to elect normal folks, not extremists
Gerrymandering = Rigging a game of Tetris

If we have near consensus from the population, why won’t Congress act?

Time to even the scales for the average person.
Step 3
Fix Outdated or Upgrade Broken Systems
Which America do we want to be?
How you ask….
What can we do about gerrymandering?
End partisan gerrymandering by giving map-drawing power to independent commissions instead of politicians. Use clear, fair rules that prioritize communities and equal representation. Add transparency and public input to keep it honest and accountable.
How do we add term limits for Congress?
To add term limits to Congress, we need a constitutional amendment setting a maximum number of terms for House and Senate members. This keeps fresh voices in office, reduces career politicians, and helps prevent corruption. It can be passed by Congress or through a convention of states, then ratified by 38 states.
How to remove dark money?
To overturn Citizens United, we need a constitutional amendment to limit money in politics. This would allow Congress to set rules on campaign spending and end the idea that corporations have the same free speech rights as people when donating. It puts power back in the hands of voters, not billionaires.
How to make Election Day a National Holiday?
ITo make Election Day a national holiday, Congress must pass legislation designating it as such. For instance, the Election Day Holiday Act of 2024 (H.R.7329) proposes to establish Election Day as a legal public holiday. This change aims to increase voter turnout by giving more Americans time to vote without work conflicts. However, the bill must pass both chambers of Congress and be signed by the President to become law.
How to remove Corporate Lobbying?
To remove corporate lobbying, we need strict laws that ban or heavily limit paid lobbying by corporations. Close the revolving door between Congress and lobbying jobs, require full transparency on meetings and money spent, and empower public-interest advocacy instead. The goal: policy shaped by people, not profits.
How to have open primaries?
To make primaries non-partisan, states would need to adopt a system like a top-two or ranked-choice primary. In this setup, all candidates run in one primary, regardless of party, and all voters can participate. The top candidates then move to the general election. States can change this through legislation or ballot initiatives, giving voters more choice and reducing party control.
