Adam Kinzinger @adamkinzinger.substack.com · Aug 7

We too often feel helpless and hopeless. That’s what they want, they thrive in chaos. But here is a reminder: 250 years of America, and our generation will not be the one that fails her. Period. And in the rear view, it will seem worth it.

"We cannot unilaterally disarm & watch our democracy disappear district by district. We have agency. We are not bystanders. We can shape our future.” - @governor.ca.gov

Let’s rise up, raise our voice and rewrite the Constitution! Join the #unifyUSA movement & let's get started: unify-usa.org

Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov · Aug 14

It’s no coincidence that we stand here today, at the Democracy Center, with Donald Trump's ICE agents standing outside as we speak.

Is this a threat to you, Trump? Are you scared of what happens when the people of this state come together to make our voices heard?

Yesterday, portions of the U.S. Constitution disappeared from the Library of Congress site- incl. Sections from Article 1 that implement the powers of Congress, provide checks against the President, Congressional oversight of DC & govern the military. This cannot stand. Join us: www.unify-usa.org

Axios @axios.com · Aug 6

The missing sections from the Constitution's website included foundational provisions, such as the right to habeas corpus, which protects people from unlawful detention.

Library of Congress blames "coding error" for missing sections of online Constitution

For 250 yrs, the Constitution decided who counts—and who doesn’t.
We’re done being left out. A Citizens’ Assembly is rewriting the rules for all of us.
It’s time we’re written in. Power back to the people.

Even Tucker Carlson gets it: we’re screwed if we don’t change the rules. Young people can’t afford homes, the rich keep hoarding, 30% credit card rates are a scam. Should the Constitution guarantee housing? Block predatory debt? Say it loud — what would YOU add? #RefreshTheConstitution

If we stay quiet, injustice wins and we remain invisibilized, marginalized, ignored. A national citizens’ assembly is our chance to demand more — and refresh a Constitution that includes all of us. Power won’t concede. We take it back. Follow us to learn more.

The Constitution belongs to the people, not politicians or dark money.

Democracy is under attack from within.

Unify USA is launching The Great American Rewrite to reclaim it through citizen assemblies.
