Promoting Democratic Integrity
Explore thoughtful civic analysis and essential democratic principles that examine America’s recent historic midterm shift and evolving political landscape.
Democratic Ideals
Discover our core tenets that highlight the recent political shift and the potential to represent the will of the American people.
To achieve our aim, we’ve developed a set of Tenets. Per Merriam-Webster, “A tenet is a principle, belief, or doctrine generally held to be true, especially one shared in common by members of an organization, group, religion, or profession. The list is flexible and expanding, but originates from core ideas:
Fundamental Tier Items
We begin our platform with the following items. Without them, it’s going to be a long uphill struggle to escape the madness:
Bringing an end to government corruption in politics
Discontinuing gerrymandering politics to deprive some citizens fair representation
Bringing better election security, while ending election interference
Accountability, regardless of station, and reigning in self-serving pardon power
Limits on emergency powers
Limiting executive power to usurp congress
Taking steps to enforce the Justice Department’s independence

Secondary Tier Items
Potential quick-wins with probable broad public support
Return-free tax filing
Closing civil forfeiture that places the onus on the backs of the American people to finance litigation to address this practice
Drug pricing control
Supreme Court reform, including:
Confirmation standards
Establishing clear disqualifying behavior
Term limits
Ethics code with enforcement provisions
Civil Service protections
Whistleblower protections
Representation for DC and US territories

Broader discussions…
Some subjects require additional thought and foundation-laying
Additional tenets require discussion and planning. They’re included here to allow us to discuss needs, ideas, and what it would take to move any or all of these subjects forward These are a furtherance of the core ideas, above:
Group 1 Items
These items have long-term impact, but are considered structurally slow to implement:
Immigration and Border Security
Transportation Infrastructure
Approaches to Incarceration
National Debt Limits
Deficit Spending
Congressional Term Limits
Electoral College Reform

Group 2 Items
Nationalized Identification, possibly with a new form of passport
Consideration of tax liability: Corporate taxes allegedly contribute 10% of federal revenue, while 50% is due to individual income tax. Is this a fair system, with the number of write-offs provided to corporations to help them reduce federal tax liabilities?
Revolving Door policies, blocking people from leaving government and immediately taking roles in the industries they oversaw

Group 3 Items
Lobbying reform. In short: You, nor I, have the ability to lobby for change. Second, corporate entities and special interest groups have demonstrated their ability to skew the system in their favor. Third, these groups have undue influence on those who have been elected to serve all citizens equally. AIPAC is one example, of many.
Non-partisan election administration
Make certification a duty that can’t be refused
Antitrust and monopoly powers and oversight
Press freedom and protections
