American War Powers "How It Works" Per Article I Section 8 Clauses 11-16 of the Constitution, Congress has the enumerated powers to: 1. Declare war2. Grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal (Hiring private individuals to capture enemy vessels, privateers)3. Make rules concerning captures on land and water (that is, prizes of war)4. To raise and support armies with funding determined on two year terms…

Thank you for staying with us for the last six weeks. All of the phases before lead to here. An equalized government ready for progress. The perpetrators under investigations and possibly already in prison. A populace confident once more in the American dream. The world ready to welcome America 2.0.

Huge, colossal dorks, and not much of anything else.

So what can you do to help? Here's the steps to help with Demand #5 - Reform!

Last, but definitely not least, is our first specific protective policy: The Reproductive Freedom for All Act. We’ve all seen the absolute circus of uneducated and idiotic decisions limiting this right since the overturning of Roe v. Wade. It's time to stop them.

So, we’ve made a great baseline for equal rights for specific populations. Now, we need to expand it to the world wide web. The Digital Bill of Rights is a proposed set of rights that will protect every person in the US online.

Our next sub-demand is similar to the previous Equality Act but puts protections into the constitution. It's time to set up the fight for women everywhere.

Our first focus of Demand 5 – Reform is on equality.  As it should be. We start with the act of the same name: The Equality Act.

On this Martin Luther King’s Day, we call for reform. Up to this point, we have removed the regime, reversed the actions of the administration, reclaimed our economy, and restore the very basic mechanisms of democracy. And now, we start the reforms to protect the very basics of American democracy: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all.

As always, we end each week with what can you do to help. Here's a list for everyone, from representatives to the president to the general public.

Our last sub-demand is end Citizens United. Because no corporation should have all that power over our elections.

So we’ve made the Supreme Court fair and ethical. Now we can start making sure our votes count properly and actually represent us.

It's time to reclaim the Supreme Court. The justices have the lowest approval rating than they've ever had this past year. They have forgotten their duties and obligations. That needs to be fixed immediately.

Welcome to Week 5 of our "Make Your Demands" Series. This week we will be focusing on restoring our democracy. The main focus is on on protecting the two biggest protectors which are elections and the courts.

Here's what you can do to help. Key tasks include closing tax loopholes for the wealthy, enforcing antitrust laws, and improving workers' rights. The community is encouraged to share their progress and stay active for upcoming demands.

Title says it all. You're time is up and you need to leave.

The focus is on uplifting workers by raising the federal minimum wage to over $20, indexing it to inflation, passing the PRO Act to protect union rights, and banning right-to-work laws. These measures aim to ensure fair compensation and rights for employees across various industries, empowering them as essential people for our country.

Week 4 - Demand 3 They got to go So we’ve taxed the rich properly and strengthened the middle class. What do we do now? Now, we break up the corporations that have made them rich. Corporations have grown far bigger than they ever should have been. They control more than one industry, conspire with each other, and raise prices just for fun.

One of the biggest revelations that has come out of Trump’s return to the oval office is the absolutely insane thinking of the 1%. That’s not to say that we didn’t already know that these people were different than us. But it’s surprising how out of touch and crazy they are. Take Elon Musk for example. His slash and burn of his companies was already concerning before he entered the federal government.

We are emphatically opposed to the kidnapping of Nicolás Maduro. The thing we find stunning, though, is that it’s purely for practical reasons. This isn’t some emotionally heightened moral stance that lays heavy on outrage. We’re opposed because issues of who runs a country just aren’t that simple. Let’s ignore the whole imperialism thing, let’s ignore the entire "whether the US is altruistic in this" (it isn’t, but we’re going to ignore that because it doesn’t matter).

Welcome Back to Week 4 of our “Make Your Demands” Series. This week, we will focus on Demand #3 – Reclaim! When we say reclaim, we don’t mean a simple political takeover by a political party. We mean a return to how the government should be, which is for the people and by the people. We want to reclaim our way of living.

Member Post by D'Metri Kepi Yeah, the uh, title? Yeah, pretty much says it all. I know these guys have couched themselves in the illusion that they’re super smart boys who are much better than you, which is strange because when JD Vance couches himself in anything it’s literal, but also they’re all actually pretty dumb. This article is difficult for me to write because I don’t believe in the concept of intelligence as this biologically determined capacity for learning.

You’ve made it through Week 3 - Reverse. Congrats and thank you for sticking with us! As we told you at the beginning of the week, we weren’t only going to give explain our demands to you but we were also going to give you tasks that you can do to help with this phase. Below are tasks no matter who you are:

So far, we have talked about two other ways we wish to reverse the damage. First, reversing Trump’s Executive Orders. Second, reverse the illegal firings of federal workers. Both steps are relatively simple and can be done, at least in writing, within a week or two. But our next demand may take a while to reverse. If you remember from the beginning of this Trump administration (and yes, that was just in February), Elon Musk was put in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency.
