“Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.”
— Declaration of Independence, 1776

Why Grassroots
Nominations?

Both parties recruit candidates through the same closed system — party committees, donor networks, and political operatives. Working people don't get a seat at that table.

Project Clean Slate bypasses the gatekeepers. Anyone can put a name forward. Our team verifies the pledge. The people decide who deserves support.

1

You Nominate

Submit a name from your community — anyone you believe would truly represent working people over party interests.

2

We Verify

Our team contacts the nominee to confirm the four-point pledge. We review public financial records and affiliations.
