THE GOAl
We believe in restoring respect, decency, and common sense to American politics.
Our mission is to unite Americans—left, right, and independent—around shared values, honest dialogue, and practical solutions that serve the common good.
History reminds us that real progress has always come from the people — from the American Revolution to women’s suffrage, from the Triangle Shirtwaist fire to the Civil Rights Movement. Time and again, ordinary citizens have stood up to powerful forces of money, division, and corruption — and won.
But even when change doesn’t happen overnight, what matters just as much is how we treat one another along the way.
Because no policy, no law, and no election will ever matter more than our ability to listen, learn, and work together with respect and empathy.
We’re not here to tear down — we’re here to rebuild.
To replace outrage with understanding, and division with decency.
To bring accountability back to government, fairness back to our economy, and humanity back to our conversations.
When we remember that we’re all Americans first, we rediscover the most powerful force in our democracy — each other.
SAVE AMERICA 2028 v.2
What Conservatives and Liberals Agree On. The Real Silent Majority Platform
1. Ban hedge funds and billion-dollar corporations from buying single-family homes
2. Ban Congress, their spouses, and immediate family from trading stock
3. No government shutdowns (If Congress misses a deadline, previously agreed-upon funding continues automatically until a new deal is passed.)
4. Ban corporations, unions, and Super PACs from donating to federal campaigns (Allow only individual citizens, capped at $200 per person per election cycle.)
5. Healthy and affordable food
6. Transparency in News Media (Require all news outlets to clearly label opinion, commentary, and analysis—separate from straight reporting of facts.)
7. Single-issue bills
8. Epstein accomplices arrested
9. Deport violent illegal immigrants (with due process)
10. Common sense, kindness, and respectful political discourse
11. Real taxpayer oversight (Clear, public reporting on how every tax dollar is spent — with independent audits and tools for citizens to flag waste.)
12. Bills Congress votes on must be made available to the public at least a week before a vote
13. Audit the Pentagon and hold leadership accountable for the seven failed audits
14. End corporate welfare (Including taxpayer subsidies for poverty-wage megacorps like Walmart.)
15. Foreign influence out of politics
16. Healthcare pricing transparency
17. Lower prescription drug prices
18. Reduce deficit spending (Require Congress to pass a real plan to balance the budget over 10 years, with exceptions only for genuine national emergencies.)
19. End corporate tax loopholes (Carried-interest loophole, private-equity/hedge-fund managers paying lower rates than nurses.)
20. Break up or heavily regulate Big Tech and Big Pharma monopolies
21. End forever wars — enforce the Constitution: only Congress can declare war (Presidents from both parties have ignored this requirement.)
22. Secure the border AND create a realistic path for long-term, non-criminal immigrants already here
23. No federal taxes on tips and overtime for workers earning under $150K
24. Ban stock buybacks (Heavily tax or ban buybacks when companies are laying off workers or freezing wages.)
25. Ban the Revolving Door (No member of Congress may become a lobbyist or work for a lobbying firm for at least 5 years after leaving office.)
26. Right-to-Repair (Allow consumers and independent shops to repair phones, cars, tractors, and farm equipment.)
27. Require all presidential candidates to release 10 years of tax returns before running (Basic transparency to detect conflicts of interest.)
28. Term Limits (Optional — included for public debate. Some believe corruption reforms may reduce the need.)
The Common Ground Candidate Pledge
Uniting America Through Decency, Transparency, and Common Sense
Americans are tired of division, dishonesty, and government that serves special interests instead of the people. Conservatives, liberals, and independents nationwide overwhelmingly agree on a core set of reforms — the Save America 28 — that would strengthen our democracy, lower corruption, and restore trust in our institutions.
This pledge gives candidates a simple way to publicly affirm their support for these shared values.
⭐ What This Pledge Represents
By signing the Common Ground Candidate Pledge, I affirm that:
1. I support respect, decency, and honest political discourse.
I will seek to bridge divides rather than deepen them, and treat all Americans with dignity.
2. I support transparency and accountability in government.
I believe citizens deserve clear, accessible information about how government operates and how their tax dollars are used.
3. I support practical, common-sense solutions that serve the public good.
I recognize the Save America 28 as legitimate, broadly supported reform priorities.
While no candidate is expected to agree with every detail of every item, I support:
The goals,
The spirit, and
The reform direction
outlined in the Save America 28 list.
4. I will put constituents above party, special interests, and political extremes.
I will act in the best interest of the people I serve — not corporations, wealthy donors, or partisan pressure.
⭐ The Pledge
I hereby commit to advancing and supporting reforms that reflect the values of respect, transparency, accountability, and common sense, as represented in the Save America 28. I pledge to uphold these principles in my campaign and in public service.

our FOCUS
1. Ban Hedge Funds and Mega-Corporations From Buying Single-Family Homes
Stop Wall Street and large institutional investors from pricing out families. Housing should be for living — not for corporate speculation.
2. Only Allow Individual Citizens to Make Political Contributions — Capped at $200 Per Person Per Election Cycle
No donations from corporations, unions, Super PACs, dark-money groups, or foreign-influenced entities. One person = one small, equal voice.
3. No Government Shutdowns
If Congress misses a deadline, previously agreed-upon funding continues automatically until a new deal is passed. No more holding workers, families, veterans, and the economy hostage.
4. Single-Issue Bills (For Important, Bipartisan Legislation)
Major legislation — like healthcare, housing, immigration, infrastructure, or national security — must be voted on as standalone bills, not combined with unrelated riders or hidden provisions.
5. Ban Congress, Their Spouses, and Immediate Family Members From Trading Individual Stocks
Members should serve the public — not their portfolios. Require blind trusts for all federal elected officials.

WHERE DO WE START?
If we want to see whether the people’s collective voice still has power — which I believe it does — we need to begin with one clear, targeted goal.
A goal that has broad bipartisan support, is simple to understand, and moves us toward a more transparent, accountable government.
That’s why our first focus is to ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks.
This ban should also extend to their immediate family members, and lawmakers should be prohibited from sharing or discussing potential trades with relatives or associates.
There are already members of Congress on both sides of the aisle who support this reform and have introduced potential legislation — which means change is possible if enough Americans demand it.
Once we achieve this, we’ll continue down the list — step by step — proving that unity and common sense can still shape our democracy.
Take Action
We believe lasting change starts with one clear, unified goal — proving that the people’s collective voice still has power. Our first step is calling for a ban on members of Congress (and their families) trading individual stocks while in office. This is a bipartisan issue that already has support in Congress and represents a simple move toward a more transparent, trustworthy government.
If you believe in fairness and accountability, take a moment to reach out to your representatives. We’ve made it easy — just copy and personalize the message in our letter template below, and let them know this matters to you.
