We aim to be a training ground for responsible citizenship and a platform for independent reform ideas that renew the American Dream.

What problem does JustCitizens.us exist to fix?

Answer: To renew the American Dream through better public policy. To overcome structural political dysfunction and corrupt incentives. To foster a new civic culture rooted in democratic responsibility, public virtue, and the pursuit of happiness. To guide deliberation on big ideas that neither political party can seem to address.

Answer: A functional U.S. Congress influenced directly by ethical, empowered citizens that leads to a healthier, happier democratic culture and broad economic wellness for middle class/working class Americans—an American Dream for all.
