We the People
It’s time to create a new democracy.
Mission
Let’s remake democracy to fix our broken politics.
The Declaration of Independence gives us the playbook.
Fix democracy. Make history. No secession. No violence.
Strategy
The Declaration of Independence is a safeguard against tyranny.
Citizens lead the way. In cities and towns across America. You rethink democracy. Write new constitutions. Create governments in waiting. Band together. Build support. Win the contest for legitimacy.
Declaration of Independence
(forgive the 18th century sexist language, which was considered neutral at the time)
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
New Democracy
We the People. We can create a new democracy.
We start locally. Citizens in each city and town decide for themselves what kind of democracy they want. This is a time of innovation.
The people will immediately confront the challenges of how to cooperate regionally and nationally, designing higher order governments.
As we resolve the hard realities of local control vs regional and national necessities, we will build support.
Eventually the old democracy loses so much support it lacks legitimacy. America shifts to the better model.
The goal is 2 years. Start to finish.
We get a new democracy. No secession. No violence.

About Us
In 2021 we formed Citizensgov as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit.
We worried that our politics had turned dangerous. We wanted to give citizens a peaceful way to change the course of history in America. Just in case our democracy went off the rails.
Well, here we are.
