American Promise unites Americans to win the For Our Freedom Amendment to secure elections and government for we the people—not big money, not corporations, not unions, not shadowy super PACs and special interests.
The For Our Freedom Amendment:
- Protects free speech and the voice of all Americans and ends the domination of our elections and corruption of our representative government by dark money and elite donors.
- Has overwhelming support from Americans of every political viewpoint
- Offers lasting reform and breaks the two-party incumbent-favoring big money system that locks out competition, choice, and progress for the nation. .
- Is the lasting, constitutional method for rebuilding checks and balances, federalism and local freedom against global money nationalizing every election and dividing America.
- Frees business from pay-to-pay politics and unfair competition from big global corporations that are spending millions of dollars to buy political influence that destroys the level playing field.
“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, our unique states and communities, and the freedom our Constitution guarantees.”

A constitutional amendment is necessary to repair and strengthen the First Amendment so all Americans have a voice in our elections. It respects the Court’s role in our republic, but reminds us all that in America, the people have the last word on the Constitution and our freedom.
Yes. The For Our Freedom Amendment unites America. Three out of four Americans support it. Already, more than 20 states 800 cities and towns have passed resolutions formally calling for the Amendment. And historically in America, constitutional amendments happen in divided, dangerous times.
