Who are we?
We are a diverse group of concerned citizens, who have come together from all parts of America, using the internet and social media as a vehicle to work toward a just framework for our elections process.
What are we trying to do here?
What we are doing is using our best thinking to rewrite the election system from top to bottom. Our ultimate goal is to make elections comprehensive, uniform, fair, transparent, and verifiable. This work is based on much research, scientific studies, strategic thinking and good old common sense. Once written, we plan to begin the process of passing state initiatives and comprehensive, unified state constitutional amendments. We hope to, eventually, turn the comprehensive, unified language we develop into a federal constitutional amendment.
Why are we doing this?
Recently, it has become increasingly evident that our American election system is more than flawed; it is broken. While attempts have been made to incrementally repair the cracks, we believe a comprehensive overhaul is required to ensure the true democratic process is put in place, as intended by the founders of this country. Therefore, we've concluded that constructing a fair, unified, transparent, verifiable election system is the only way to instill trust in the American voter and save our political system and our democratic Republic.
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
Fair elections are the means by which we give this consent. The right to vote is also in the Constitution.
Using the Take Back Elections Website
We hope you will use our website as a tool to plug-in and get involved in comprehensive election reform! There are a number of ways provided to do that. Because what we are attempting to do is monumental and requires committed efforts, critical thinking, and exceptional coordinating, the website will change over time to fit the needs of our members and the project as it evolves. Once the language is complete, it will be used for organizing Ballot Initiatives in chosen states. Passing these initiatives will require much work to accomplish, so please sign-up today!
