The Patriot Pledge is a democratic, politically-agnostic document that describes modern political issues and proposes reforms for the U.S. government. Eventually, these will evolve into a set of demands for our legislators and governing bodies.
Together, we can form a clear, powerful, and irrefutable statement of demands that are supported by the vast majority of Americans. We will detail reforms that will benefit all.
This project serves as a working copy, is not considered finalized or complete, and does not officially represent any group or organization. Its contents will evolve as more people contribute.
Using a version control system (VCS) like git (currently hosted on GitHub), anyone can contribute to the project!
It is intended that experts on various topics will submit their own proposals and citations.

This project aims to:
- Thoroughly document the issues that have the most significant impact on the welfare of U.S. citizens and residents.
- Propose detailed solutions backed by evidence and experts.
- Provide accessible formats of the final document for all, accounting for language, literacy, reading levels, and disabilities. Anyone should be able to read the document and decide if it's something they believe in.
- Empower people to build a unifying, comprehensive proposal for reform of U.S. governing bodies.
