The Case for Unity

Stop Fighting.
Start Winning.

We're not asking you to change your mind about abortion, guns, or anything else. We're asking you to recognize that none of it gets better until we fix the machine that's rigging the game.

“If we do not hang together, we shall most assuredly hang separately.”
— Benjamin Franklin, at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, 1776
How They Keep Us Divided

Two teams.
One owner.

Both parties run the same playbook: throw a culture war issue into the news cycle, watch the country split in half, and while everyone's screaming on social media, pass legislation written by lobbyists at 2am. The fight is the product.

The Left's Hot-Button Issues

  • Abortion access and reproductive rights
  • Gun control and assault weapon bans
  • Trans rights and gender identity policy
  • Defunding or reforming police
  • Open borders vs. immigration reform
VS

The Right's Hot-Button Issues

  • Banning or restricting abortion nationally
  • Second Amendment absolutism
  • Parental rights and school curriculum
  • Law and order, anti-defund
  • Closed borders and deportation

“While you argue, they govern. While you fight, they fundraise. While you hate each other, they get rich.”

The Uncomfortable Truth

Your Issues Won't
Get Fixed in a
Corrupt Congress.

Think about the issues you care most about. Gun control has been “on the table” for 30 years. Abortion has been a political football for 50 years. Immigration reform has stalled through 6 presidents. Why?

Because these issues are worth more to politicians unsolved than solved. A resolved issue is no longer a fundraising tool. An angry voter is a donor. A fearful voter turns out. The system is not broken — for them, it's working exactly as designed.

Project Clean Slate does not take positions on gun control, abortion, immigration, gender policy, or any other contested social issue. Those are yours to debate and decide — in a Congress that actually represents you. But you will never get that Congress while the current one is for sale.

The Pattern

Issue Gets Hot

A shooting, a court ruling, a viral story. The issue floods cable news and social media. Outrage peaks. Donations surge to both sides.

The Performance

Congress Performs Concern

Hearings are held. Speeches are made. Both sides fundraise furiously off the outrage. Nothing passes. The issue returns to simmer.

The Drain

Donors Get the Votes

While you're distracted, legislation written by lobbyists moves quietly. Tax breaks, regulatory rollbacks, spending riders. This is the actual work of Congress.

The Reset

Next Election, Same Issues

The issue is recycled for the campaign. You vote based on fear or anger. The cycle begins again. Nothing changes. They designed it this way.

The Common Ground

What Americans
Already Agree On

You don't have to agree on guns or abortion to agree on this. These numbers are real — and they cut across every political tribe.

Congress is Corrupt

Across party lines, Americans believe their representatives prioritize donors and lobbyists over voters.

82% of Americans agree Congress is too influenced by money

No PAC Money

Both conservatives and liberals support limiting the influence of outside money in congressional races.

77% support stricter limits on campaign contributions

Lobbyist Reform

The revolving door between Congress and K Street is unpopular with voters of every stripe.

74% want lobbyist influence in Congress dramatically reduced

Term Limits

Career politicians who have never held a private sector job are unpopular with the left and the right.

83% of Americans support some form of congressional term limits

The System is Rigged

Whether they're MAGA or progressive, Americans broadly agree that regular people don't have a fair shot.

71% say the political system works against ordinary people

More Independent Voices

Voters are exhausted by party-line voting and want representatives who think for themselves.

63% would consider voting for a credible independent candidate
The Ten-Year Plan

One Decade.
One Mission.
Then Everything Else.

We are not asking you to stop caring about the issues you care about. We are asking you to see that those issues cannot be honestly debated in a Congress that is bought and paid for.

Imagine a Congress with no PAC money. No lobbyist cash. Representatives who actually have to listen to voters because voters are the only ones funding their campaigns. Then let's have the fight about guns, abortion, immigration — and let the people actually win it.

One decade of discipline. Two election cycles where we hold the line on corruption as the single unifying issue. By 2034, we have enough Project Clean Slate candidates in office to change the rules of the game — for everyone.

“United we stand, divided we fall. Let us not split into factions which must destroy that union upon which our existence hangs.”
— Patrick Henry, 1799
2024–2026

Build the Movement

Nominate 50+ grassroots candidates across both parties and independents. Unite on the single pledge: Zero PAC. Zero lobbyist money. Country over party.

2026–2028

Win Seats, Change Culture

Get the first wave of Project Clean Slate candidates elected. Begin introducing structural reform legislation. Prove the model works — candidates can win without PAC money.

2028–2030

Reform at Scale

Enough Project Clean Slate voices in Congress to force votes on campaign finance reform, ranked choice voting, and the distributed legislature model. The corruption fight becomes mainstream.

2030–2034

The Clean Congress

A Congress that is no longer for sale. Then — and only then — can we have an honest national conversation about every other issue, with representatives who actually have to listen to us.

“The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissension... is itself a frightful despotism.”
— George Washington, Farewell Address, 1796

Pick a Side.
The Clean One.

Not left. Not right. Not your party or theirs. The side of working people who are tired of being used as props in a game they were never meant to win. Project Clean Slate is your movement.
