I join the overwhelming majority of Americans to demand an amendment to the United States Constitution to end the domination of big money in politics and give voice to all Americans.

I will stand with all Americans, without regard to party or other differences, and urge all candidates and elected officials to do the same, in order to pass and ratify such a constitutional amendment as soon as possible.

The For Our Freedom Amendment

News + Updates

American Promise

There's too much money in politics. American Promise has a solution.

We are uniting Americans to win the For Our Freedom constitutional amendment.

What is american promise?

American Promise has a simple and powerful goal: passage of the For Our Freedom constitutional amendment to restore reasonable limits on money in our campaigns and elections.

National Citizen Leadership Conference

Citizens from all across America will gather at the National Citizen Leadership Conference to strengthen our nation against foreign interference, division, and dysfunction. With more than 75% of Americans supporting a constitutional amendment, and millions taking action, we can do this for all of us — with your support.

Join us and take action in Washington D.C. – For Our Freedom!

Find your state and get involved

Winning the For Our Freedom Amendment is going to take citizens from all 50 states. 22 states and counting have called on Congress to propose the amendment. Learn more about what’s happening where you live!

Our Promise

Our movement will strengthen our fundamental values

We will amend the constitution to combat corruption, end elite and foreign money control of our elections, and secure the free speech and representation of all Americans.

Freedom

America was founded on freedom. For Our Freedom, we will amend the constitution to combat corruption, end elite and foreign money control of our elections, and secure the free speech and representation of all Americans.

Equality

America was founded on equality. All are created equal, endowed with unalienable rights. When those with massive concentrated wealth can use that wealth to control elections, we do not have equal rights or representative self-government.

Service

To keep the promise of freedom, Americans have always answered the call to serve. When big money donors turn elections into ugly and divisive two-party contests, Americans who would serve stay away, and neighbor is turned against neighbor.

Invention

Free people are creative people. Americans have always sought to solve problems and shape the future we want through new invention and innovation. However, corruption creates a top-heavy system that stifles innovation and creativity.

Competition

Let’s face it, Americans like to win. And a fair chance to compete benefits everyone. But not in our political system, where a few big donors call the shots.

Candidate Pledge Program

We are asking candidates and elected officials at all levels of government to pledge support of the For Our Freedom amendment.

As an average American, it is nearly impossible to compete with billionaires, but what they can’t buy with money is the deep love and passion we feel for the outdoors and the freedom our Constitution guarantees.

It's time for moral leadership within our businesses, our communities and our government that will return to fair competition, checks and balances, and accountability.

I am honored to be a part of an organization devoted to bringing people together in order to reform our democracy. As someone with a passion for working on teams that are building momentum for new ideas and new ways of doing things, I am eager to unite all Americans around the For Our Freedom Amendment.

We need to repair the Constitutional foundation for election spending reform so that all Americans may participate in self-government as equal citizens. I hope all Americans can come together with American Promise to help in this urgent, cross-partisan work.

As we approach the 250th anniversary of our nation's independence, ratifying this proposed constitutional amendment would renew and preserve the cherished democratic ideals of the founders.

We need to strengthen our democracy if we want good jobs with good wages, energy sources that are renewable and affordable, and strong, resilient communities. That means we need to win the For Our Freedom Amendment and restore equal citizenship and liberty for all.

It is time to accept the historical gravity of our situation. It is time for Americans of all political viewpoints to come together to win the For Our Freedom Amendment — and to renew U.S. democracy again.

Repairing the loss of political voice among our citizenry, our ever-increasing wealth disparity, and our loss of military credibility in an ever more unstable world may be the greatest challenge America has ever confronted. But as always, Americans uniting together can do something big to fix this.

Big money privileges those with the means to pour unlimited amounts of money into campaigns, which drowns out the voices of all Americans, especially those living in poverty and experiencing the harmful effects of institutional and social racism.
