Why this petition matters
Fellow Citizens and Civic Friends,
Our U.S. Constitution has been in place now for 232 years. The foundation it has laid has been very good in some ways and deeply problematic in others. The Constitution is today kept in force by inertia, not energy. As our nation struggles to emerge better from current crises in public health, the economy, and race relations, we need to renew the basis of our commitment to each other and our framework for shared institutions.
We the People established the U.S. Constitution by ratifying it after nationwide discussion and debate. We the People can establish the New American Constitution in the same way. In 1787 it was by in-person conventions in the states; in 2020 it can be by national conversation in digital and social media.
Please read Our New Constitution at ournewconstitution.us. It builds on what has worked well in the original Constitution while being completely free of slavery and racism, doing away with the Electoral College, and empowering Congress to truly represent the people. Register your desire to ratify, share with friends and family, and lend your energy to achieving an official nationwide popular vote.
This is the time for constructive and transformative change, for ourselves and our descendants in this great country. Let's join together to make a new and better American nation.
