Establish a Citizen-run, Citizen Created National Political Party

We're done waiting for permission to have real choices.
Look, we all see it. Every election cycle, we're told this is "the most important election of our lifetime." We're warned that if we don't vote for their candidate, disaster awaits. But here's what nobody in Washington wants to admit: it doesn't matter which party wins anymore because they're playing for the same team—and it's not ours.
Democrats and Republicans put on a good show. They yell at each other on cable news, they point fingers, they make promises. But when the cameras turn off? They're having dinner together, their kids go to the same schools, and their bank accounts grow from the same corporate donors. The script changes, but the actors stay the same.
This petition demands the creation of a citizen-run, citizen-funded national political party—built from the ground up by regular Americans who are tired of being treated like extras in someone else's production.
Here's what's broken: The establishment controls who even gets on the ballot. If you don't have millions in backing, if you haven't kissed the right rings, if you won't play ball with the donors and consultants and party bosses—you're done before you start. They've rigged the game so thoroughly that we're choosing between two pre-approved options, neither of which actually represents what most Americans want.
We're not asking for permission anymore. We're building something new.
What we're demanding:
A political party where candidates are chosen by citizens, not by whoever writes the biggest checks or has the right connections. Where town halls actually matter more than donor dinners. Where someone working two jobs can run for office without needing to become a millionaire first.
A party funded by small donations from millions of Americans, not massive checks from corporations, foreign interests, or billionaires buying influence. If you can't buy us, you can't own us.
A party that remembers elected officials work for us—not the other way around. Representatives who actually live in the communities they represent, who send their kids to public schools, who know what gas costs because they pump it themselves.
Why this matters right now:
We're watching our country be run by people who've been in Washington for 30, 40, 50 years. They've never built a business. Never missed a mortgage payment. Never chose between medication and groceries. And they're making decisions about our lives while their net worth mysteriously grows on a government salary.
Meanwhile, we're told we need to be "realistic." That third parties can't win. That we're wasting our votes. You know what's actually wasted? Voting for people who've been lying to us for decades.
The two-party system isn't a law of nature—it's a monopoly. And like any monopoly, it only survives because we keep buying what they're selling.
Sign this petition if you believe:

That Americans deserve candidates who aren't pre-selected by party bosses and corporate interests
That real people—teachers, veterans, small business owners, farmers, truck drivers—should be able to run for office without selling their souls
That both major parties have failed us and it's time to build something that actually works for the people who make this country run

This isn't about left or right anymore. It's about top versus bottom. And right now, the people at the top are laughing at us while we fight over their scraps.
What happens after you sign:
We organize. Town by town, county by county, state by state. We find candidates who've actually lived in the real world. We pool our resources—$5, $10, $20 at a time—until we've built something they can't ignore. We take back our own power instead of lending it to people who've proven they don't deserve it.
They'll call us crazy. They'll say we're spoilers, that we're helping "the other side" win. Good. Let them panic. That's how you know it's working.
Sign your name if you're ready to stop complaining and start building.
The choice is simple: keep voting for their candidates and hoping for different results, or create our own party and take our country back.
We've tried their way. Time to try ours.
