From the Founder

Coalition Mission

Defend constitutional governance.
Advance citizen-led solutions.

We unite to address structural challenges facing the American republic through informed, citizen-led reform.

Our work is guided by Article I, Article IV, and the Bill of Rights, and by the rights to petition, assemble, vote, and participate in local self-government.

We pursue reform peacefully and lawfully, with respect for the constitutional rights of all persons.

Who we are

A grassroots coalition
for civic reform.

We bring American citizens together to pursue reforms consistent with the Constitution and the principles of federalism, limited government, individual liberty, and civic participation.

Our work begins by asking which level of government has authority and how citizens can take part in the decisions that affect their communities.

We evaluate proposals against evidence, legal authority, costs, and likely effects. We distinguish proposed reforms from enacted law and welcome peaceful, lawful participation from people who disagree about solutions.

Publish evidence, legal context, costs, trade-offs, and measures for evaluating results.

What guides us

Principles for
working together.

Love of country can be an active commitment: caring for our neighbors and working to improve the country we share.

Read the American Ledger
  1. I

    Freedom carries responsibility.

    Liberty gives people room to shape their own lives and carries a responsibility to contribute to their communities.

  2. II

    Opportunity should be real.

    Education, meaningful work, and a fair chance to participate help people build a future with dignity.

  3. III

    Fairness applies to everyone.

    Public systems should treat people fairly and consistently, protect civil liberties, and answer to the communities they serve.

  4. IV

    Disagreement belongs in democracy.

    We can debate serious differences without treating fellow Americans as enemies.

The platform

Policy proposals.
Open to scrutiny.

The proposals below are a selection for public discussion across social and political reforms. They complement the ten focus areas above; they are not enacted policy or guaranteed outcomes. Each requires scrutiny of its evidence, cost, legal authority, and likely effects.

01

Social reforms

Expanding opportunity and strengthening everyday life.

Health care: access and affordability

U.S. health spending reached $5.3 trillion, or 18.0% of GDP, in 2024; 27.2 million people were uninsured, and a 2022 survey found that 41% of adults had some form of health-care debt [2–4].

  • Consider a Medicare-for-All option or a robust public option, with costs and coverage assessed transparently [5].
  • Explore an annual $2,000 cap on family out-of-pocket costs [6].
  • Reserve a proposed 10% of federal healthcare funding for prevention and screenings, and strengthen coverage for occupational injuries.

Education: opportunity at every stage

In 2023, 37% of fourth-graders in low-income schools reached reading proficiency, compared with 60% in wealthier districts [7].

  • Direct more school resources to students and communities with greater needs.
  • Expand vocational and technical learning, with a goal of reaching half of high schools by 2030.
  • Propose a 15% teacher-pay increase in underfunded districts, alongside ongoing professional development [8].
  • Invest $50 billion over five years to improve digital access [9].

Economic security: dignity and independence

In 2023, 13.5% of U.S. households experienced food insecurity at some point during the year [10].

  • Improve benefit administration and use interstate data matching to prevent duplicate SNAP issuances [11].
  • Propose a 25% increase to the Earned Income Tax Credit and publish clear estimates of its effects [12].
  • Invest $30 billion annually in job training and subsidized childcare.

Justice: fairness in law and opportunity

Black Americans are incarcerated at five times the rate of White Americans [13]; in 2023, women working full time earned 83.6 cents for every dollar earned by men [14].

  • Review mandatory minimums for nonviolent offenses and strengthen fair-treatment safeguards in law enforcement and the courts [16].
  • Advance pay equity and invest $10 billion in community-based programs that support families and public safety [17].
02

Political reforms

Making participation fairer and government more accountable.

Voting: accessible and fair participation

Voting access and the fairness of district maps remain subjects of national debate. Eleven states enacted restrictive voting laws in 2023 [15]; reporting has also documented the effects of district maps [18].

  • Support automatic voter registration, with transparent evaluation of participation effects [19].
  • Use independent commissions to draw legislative districts [20].
  • Establish at least 14 days of early voting in every state.

Campaign finance: transparency and a stronger public voice

OpenSecrets estimates that $14.8 billion was spent during the 2024 federal election cycle [21]. Spending totals alone do not show how much influence any one contribution had.

  • Consider public financing that matches small donations at a 6:1 ratio [22].
  • Require clear disclosure of donations above $1,000 [22].
  • Prohibit corporate contributions and cap individual donations at $5,000 per cycle [22].

Government: openness, ethics, and accountability

People deserve timely access to public information and confidence that officials are answerable to the law.

  • Increase Freedom of Information Act enforcement funding by 50% and report results.
  • Require regular financial disclosures and establish independent ethics oversight.
  • Protect due process, guard against politically selective enforcement, and invest $100 billion in secure, modern information systems.

Policy ideas should be debated openly, tested against evidence, and judged by their real effects on people and communities.

The dollar amounts and targets above are proposals for discussion, not independent cost estimates, enacted policy, or promises of a particular result. The sources below offer background; they do not necessarily endorse the coalition's proposals.

Research & context

Evidence matters.
So does context.

01

Read the fine print

Gallup reported that 38% of adults had a great deal or fair amount of trust in the federal government to handle domestic problems in 2025 [1]. A 2026 Pew Research Center analysis reports different civic-participation levels for groups it calls “Mobilizers” and “Outsiders.” Those figures describe the study's defined groups, not all Americans [23].

02

Respect local evidence

The 2026 Ohio Civic Health Index focuses on Ohio. Its findings can inform questions elsewhere, but they are not national estimates [24].

03

Update as research changes

At the time of our November 2026 update, the 2025 national civic-engagement supplement was described as forthcoming. We will not present it as published findings until its release [25].

We aim to listen to affected communities, share sources and uncertainty, welcome peaceful participation, and measure the results of reform proposals.

A path forward

A stronger country
starts close to home.

Learn about the issues, take part in your community, and bring your perspective to the conversation. The American dream is stronger when more people have a fair chance to build a good life and help shape the future we share.

We can disagree on the answers and still work together with respect.
