We achieve this vision by overcoming apathy and division to tackle the biggest issue standing in the way of equal representation. American Promise’s mission is to unite and empower Americans to build a healthy democracy and lasting American republic through achieving an urgent and necessary goal: amend the United States Constitution to stop the corrupting influence of money in our political system. We empower people in all 50 states to learn, connect, act, and lead efforts to mobilize their districts, states and networks to ensure we pass this amendment. By working together—across party lines and city limits—we can realize our vision. Since 2016, we have launched forty chapters across the nation, supported hundreds of thousands of citizen actions, and played a key role in five state ballot initiatives and six legislative campaigns. As of right now, 20 states have formally called for an amendment to enable limits on money used in elections and ensure all Americans have a voice, regardless of wealth. We exist to grow these numbers to the tipping point. Join us.

Once other communities do the same work, it will be easier to understand if a town is over paying or underpaying for different government services. 2022 Youtube video

| |  |
Overview video: For most Americans, their largest annual purchase is government services. Yet we are irresponsible consumers! If we chose to invest comparable time and effort, we could reap better value at less cost year after year. Furthermore, the United States could enjoy a global economic competitive advantage once our actions lead to the most cost effective and efficient government among developed nations.
The keystone of this transformation rests with individual citizens and not elected officials or political parties. Our challenge is to motivate ourselves to initiate a cultural shift toward greater civic responsibility.
The secret sauce is to start locally on the smallest levels of government services, then, as our management skills, tools and habits grow, expand upwards to broader layers of government services. From there, solutions can be driven upwards through communities versus the current stagnation from our oscillating political party control. The multitude of ideas introduced in this book can serve as a catalyst to align interests, talents and passions of our citizens for this civic culture transformation.
