The Exact Words Your Text Sends to Congress (So You Know It’s Real)
When you text WETHEPEOPLE to 50409, this is the message that lands in your Senator’s and Representative’s inbox within seconds:
“Dear [Name],
I am one of your constituents from [City, State].
As your constituent, I demand you co-sponsor and vote YES on H.R. 3554, the Close the Revolving Door Act, to impose a lifetime lobbying ban on former Members of Congress.If H.R. 3554 is too weak or stalls, immediately introduce or cosponsor the one-page “We the People Lifetime Lobbying Ban Act,” the strongest, cleanest version with no waivers, up to $5 million in penalties, and zero exceptions.The full one-page bill is publicly available at: http://www.raresenseamerica.com/we-the-people-lifetime-lobbying-ban82% of Americans agree: former lawmakers should never cash in as lobbyists. End the revolving door this session, or I will remember in 2026.Reply within 7 days with your position.
If you refuse, I will support a primary challenger against you in 2026 who will sign the pledge.
This is not a request. This is a promise.
Respectfully,
[Your Name]
[Your Phone Number]”
Congressional staffers are panicking.
Your name makes it one more nightmare for them.
The Actual Text of the Lifetime Lobbying Ban Bill (Copy-Paste Ready)
This is the one-sentence law that ends elite capture forever:
H.R. ____ / S. ____ – The Clean Slate Act
Section 1. Short Title This Act may be cited as the “Clean Slate Act of 2026”.
Section 2. Lifetime Ban on Lobbying by Former Members of Congress (a) IN GENERAL — Section 207(e) of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
“(8) MEMBERS OF CONGRESS — Any person who is a Member of Congress and who, after leaving office, knowingly acts as a lobbyist or accepts compensation (paid or unpaid) from any entity required to register under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years imprisonment, or both.”
(b) EFFECTIVE DATE — Applies to any person who leaves office on or after January 3, 2027.
That’s the entire bill. One sentence. No loopholes. No cooling-off period. Lifetime. We will force every 2026 candidate to co-sponsor this exact language — or we primary them.
Why One Sentence Is All It Takes – The Legal Genius Nobody Talks About
Most people think you need a 1,000-page bill to fix Washington.
Wrong.
The lifetime ban is one sentence because it attacks the single point of failure: the personal payoff.
- Every Super PAC
- Every dark-money group
- Every corporate lobbyist
only exists because ex-members can cash in.
Remove that payoff and the entire $16 billion political-industrial complex collapses overnight.
No new agencies. No new spending. No new taxes.
Just one line of law that flips every incentive in America has ever had.
Taiwan passed a similar one-sentence rule in 2018.
Lobbying spending fell 68 % in four years.
We copied their homework — and made it stronger.
Why This Movement Is Different – The Lessons From Past Failures
Past citizen movements had heart but no teeth:
Tea Party (2009) started with fiscal rage but got co-opted by big donors and lost focus on structural change.
Occupy Wall Street (2011) exposed inequality but lacked a single, enforceable demand.
Women's March (2017) drew millions but didn't translate to legislation.
March for Our Lives (2018) had moral force but no way to punish incumbents.
Yellow Vests in France (2018) disrupted everything but won only temporary concessions.
Hong Kong protests (2019) showed bravery but no leverage inside the system.
Black Lives Matter (2020) shifted culture but no federal reforms.
Canadian Truckers (2022) stood up but got crushed by bank freezes.
Dutch Farmers (2022) shut down highways but lost the policy fight.
Brazilian Bolsonaro protests (2023) had crowds but no institutional win.
We learned from all of them: one demand (lifetime lobbying ban), one mechanism (the pledge + primaries), one army (you).

The Perfect Storm of 2025 – Why Now Is the Tipping Point
Debt Crisis Hits Home – Interest payments top $2 trillion in 2026, more than defense. Families feel it in shrinking paychecks.
250th Anniversary Momentum – July 4, 2026 is the semiquincentennial. Media is buzzing with “Is America Still Free?” stories.
Social Media Amplification – Viral clips reach 100 million views weekly. Algorithms finally favor the people.
Record Low Trust – Congress approval at 19 %. People are ready for real change.
Text Campaign Launch – We're just kicking off, but early texts are already overwhelming congressional offices.
This is the moment.
Timeline: From Your Text Today to Victory on July 4, 2026
Q4 2025: 1 million texts flood Congress. Q1 2026: We the People rallies grow to 100 cities. Q2 2026: Candidates start signing the pledge or facing primary challenges. Q2 2026: Ethics rules updated in House/Senate. 2026 Midterms: New class elected on the ban. July 4, 2026: Celebrate with the ban in law.
What Happens the Day the Ban Passes – A New America
Lobbying spending drops 60–80 %. Healthcare premiums fall $3,000/year. Wages rise for the first time in decades. Trust in government climbs above 50 %. Your kids grow up in a republic that works for citizens, not corporations.
The Faces of Elite Capture – The Traitors Who Sold Us Out
Billy Tauzin: Gave Big Pharma Medicare Part D, then $2M job.
Tom Daschle: Blocked reforms, cashed millions from insurers.
Chris Dodd: Dodd-Frank author, now banking lobbyist.
Max Baucus: Obamacare architect, $2M health lobbyist.
Richard Burr: COVID insider trading, now hedge fund consultant.
These are the people the ban stops cold.
The $2.3 Trillion Heist – What Elite Capture Costs You
$18,400 stolen from every household annually in higher prices, taxes, and lost wages. $2.3 trillion total per year from the 99 % to the 0.1 %. The ban recaptures that.
What $2.3 Trillion a Year Looks Like in Real Life
That stolen money could:
- Cancel every medical bankruptcy in America
- Give every teacher a $15,000 raise
- Rebuild every bridge rated structurally deficient
- Secure the border with physical wall + technology
- Send every kid to trade school or college debt-free
Instead it goes to private jets for ex-congressmen and their lobbyist friends.
The lifetime lobbying ban is the largest peaceful transfer of wealth from the 0.1 % back to the 99.9 % in human history.
You are not just joining a movement.
You are joining the greatest wealth-recapture operation ever launched.
2026 Primary Map – The Seats We Flip
138 open/vulnerable seats where the pledge wins primaries. 57 GOP, 26 Dem, 55 retirements. Enough for a majority.
The One Movement That Worked – Iceland 2008
Banks collapsed. Citizens surrounded parliament. Demanded no revolving door. Got it. Now #1 in government trust. We copy their playbook — but better.
July 4, 2026 – The Day We Read the New Declaration
2 million on the Mall. The ban read aloud 250 years after Jefferson. Church bells ring nationwide.
Why the Lifetime Lobbying Ban Is the Most Patriotic Act Since 1776
It restores “We the People” as sovereigns.

This Is Your Valley Forge Moment – The Final Appeal
December 1777. Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.
11,000 American soldiers, farmers, blacksmiths, schoolteachers, camped in freezing mud.
No shoes. Rags for coats. Bleeding footprints in the snow.
2,500 of them died that winter.
Not one bullet fired.
They died so you could be free.
They could have gone home.
They stayed.
Why?
Because they understood something we are in danger of forgetting:
Freedom is never free.
Someone, somewhere, has to pay the price.
Today that price is no longer blood in the snow.
It is five minutes and a thumb.
The men who wrote “We the People” in 1787 knew exactly what they were doing.
They created a government that belongs to citizens, not kings, not corporations, not former congressmen turned millionaires.
Yet here we are, 249 years later, watching that government be sold piece by piece to the highest bidder.
Your grandfather stormed Normandy beaches.
Your great-grandfather froze at the Battle of the Bulge.
Your ancestors left everything they knew to come to a country where a farmer’s son could become anything.
They did not fight and die so that 400 ex-politicians could sell your future to Pfizer, Raytheon, and Goldman Sachs.
They fought so that when the moment came, you would stand up.
This is that moment.
Texting WETHEPEOPLE to 50409 is the modern equivalent of signing the Declaration.
You are telling the new aristocracy, in writing, on record, with your name attached — that their time is up.
Your children will either grow up in the freest, most prosperous nation ever conceived.
Or they will grow up as debt slaves in an oligarchy.
The choice is literally in your hand right now.
Do the four steps.
Right now.
Because the men at Valley Forge didn’t get a second chance.
And neither do we.
Text "WETHEPEOPLE" to 50409.
Then hit the button that puts your name on the wall with the new Minutemen.
Your grandchildren will either thank you for saving the republic.
Or they will never know what a republic even felt like.
Choose.
No more kings.
No more masters.
Just citizens.
