We the People



The Only Truly Non-Partisan Government Reform That Both Sides Secretly Hate. We the People Lifetime Lobbying Ban!

Want real non-partisan reform?

Try the one reform literally every member of Congress, left and right, personally profits from keeping broken: the revolving door.


Both parties scream at each other on TV. Both parties vote for bloated, donor-stuffed bills. Both parties leave office and cash in at the same corporations they “regulated.”


Ban former members from ever lobbying, for life, and suddenly:

  • Democrats can’t sell out to Big Pharma and insurance giants

  • Republicans can’t sell out to defense contractors and Wall Street

  • Independents and regular Americans finally have oxygen

This is the one reform that actually helps everyday citizens, not career politicians.

It is past time for We the People Non-Partisan Government Reform!


Why a Lifetime Lobbying Ban Is the Most Non-Partisan Reform Possible

In a country divided by red vs. blue, abortion vs. guns, open borders vs. walls, there is exactly one issue where 91 % of Americans agree across party lines:

Get money out of politics.

A 2025 Pew Research poll shows:

  • 92 % of Republicans

  • 90 % of Democrats

  • 93 % of Independents


all support major restrictions on lobbying by former officials.

Yet Congress refuses to act.

Because the revolving door is the one profit center both parties share equally.

Democrats leave office and join Big Pharma, health insurers, or Hollywood. Republicans leave office and join defense contractors, oil giants, or Wall Street.

The lifetime lobbying ban hits both sides in the wallet, equally.

That’s why it’s truly non-partisan: it doesn’t favor one party. It favors the people.


Bipartisan Corruption: Examples From Both Sides of the Aisle


Democrat Examples

  • Tom Daschle (D) blocked drug-price reform → $5+ million from health insurers

  • Max Baucus (D) wrote Obamacare → $2 million/year health lobbyist

  • Chris Dodd (D) wrote Dodd-Frank → Hollywood & banking lobbyist

  • Harry Reid (D) → cannabis lobbyist after blocking reform

  • John Breaux (D) → $30 million lobbying firm with Republican Trent Lott


Republican Examples

  • Billy Tauzin (R) wrote Medicare Part D giveaway → $2 million/year at PhRMA

  • Trent Lott (R) → $30 million lobbying firm with Democrat John Breaux

  • Bob Corker (R) → board of debt-underwriting firm after voting for every ceiling hike

  • John Boehner (R) → cannabis lobbying after blocking reform

  • Jeb Hensarling (R) → Wall Street advisor after Financial Services chair

Bipartisan corruption at its finest — same swamp, different jerseys.


The Numbers That Prove It’s Non-Partisan Corruption

  • 412 former members currently lobbying (OpenSecrets 2025)

  • Roughly 50/50 split between parties

  • Total post-office earnings for ex-members: estimated $2–$4 billion since 2015

  • Healthcare lobbying by ex-members: $488 million (both parties)

  • Defense lobbying by ex-members: $340 million (both parties)

  • Financial services: $298 million (both parties)

No red. No blue. Just green.


What Happens When the Ban Passes – A Truly Level Playing Field

  • No more Democrat selling out to Pfizer

  • No more Republican selling out to Raytheon

  • No more “bipartisan” bills that are 90 % payoffs

  • Incumbents suddenly have to campaign on results, not donor promises

  • Independents and third-party candidates finally compete fairly

For the first time in decades, Congress works for voters — not future employers.


Why Every Other “Non-Partisan” Reform Is Fake

  • Term limits → speeds the door, makes freshmen more desperate for quick cash

  • Campaign finance limits → loopholes explode, post-office payoff untouched

  • Ethics pledges → voluntary, ignored

  • Transparency rules → they already disclose after cashing in

  • Bipartisan commissions → stall and die

The lifetime lobbying ban is the only one that hits both parties where it hurts: their retirement plan.


The Bipartisan History of Protecting the Revolving Door

  • 2007 Honest Leadership Act → 2-year cooling-off (both parties voted for it knowing it was toothless)

  • Obama’s “no lobbyists” pledge → 70+ waivers

  • Trump’s 5-year ban → executive order rescinded Day 1 by Biden

  • Biden’s “ethics” push → record ex-member lobbying in 2025

Both sides protect the door because both sides use it.


Media Bias in Action: How Left and Right Attack the Other but Ignore Their Own Scandals

The media plays a key role in maintaining the uniparty illusion — attacking the other side's corruption while going silent on their own.


Left-Wing Media Examples (e.g., MSNBC, CNN)

  • Trump classified documents: 24/7 coverage of Mar-a-Lago raid, hundreds of hours calling it “unprecedented treason” (2022–2023).

  • Biden classified documents: Downplayed as “old papers in garage,” minimal coverage, quick pivot to “but Trump was worse” (2023).

  • Hunter Biden laptop: Initially dismissed as “Russian disinformation” by 50 intelligence officials and CNN/MSNBC anchors (2020 election). Confirmed authentic by FBI in 2024, but left media stayed silent on their own role in suppressing it.

  • Cuomo sexual harassment: MSNBC (where his brother Chris worked) initially soft-pedaled, focusing on “COVID hero” narrative before scandals forced resignation (2021).


Right-Wing Media Examples (e.g., Fox News, Newsmax)

  • Biden Afghanistan withdrawal: Non-stop “Biden's Saigon” attacks, blaming every death on him (2021).

  • Trump COVID mishandling: Fox downplayed 400,000+ deaths under Trump, ignored his bleach comments, focused on “China virus” (2020–2021).

  • January 6 insurrection: Fox called it “tourists” or “Antifa false flag,” ignored Trump's role while attacking Biden for “weaponizing DOJ” (2021–2025).

  • Trump University fraud: Right media silent or defended $25 million settlement as “nuisance lawsuit” (2016–2018).

These examples from 2020–2025 show how media on both sides acts as party mouthpieces, amplifying enemy scandals while burying their own. The result? Voters stay divided, and the revolving door spins on.


The Family Divide: How Media Tears Us Apart (While Big Money Laughs)

The media's bias doesn't just polarize politics, it destroys relationships.

In 2025, 38 % of Americans report stopping talking to family or friends over politics (Pew Research), up from 15 % in 2016.

  • Thanksgiving dinners turn into shouting matches over “Trump the fascist” vs. “Biden the socialist”

  • Lifelong friends unfollow each other on Facebook after MSNBC calls Republicans “threat to democracy” and Fox calls Democrats “Marxists”

  • Siblings stop speaking because one believes CNN that “January 6 was insurrection” and the other believes Newsmax that “it was Antifa”


They’re convinced their side is right and the other is evil.

In reality, big money is behind both parties, neither is on our side.

Democrats take $488 million from pharma. Republicans take $340 million from defense. Both ignore the $38 trillion debt they created together.

The media keeps us fighting each other so we never fight them.

The lifetime lobbying ban ends that, by removing the money that funds the division.


This Is Rare Sense Pillar 1 – The Ultimate Non-Partisan Weapon

Thomas Paine's Common Sense – The Emotional Call to Action

Thomas Paine’s Common Sense wasn’t a polite essay. It was a firebomb that united the colonies against a common enemy.

In 1776, it sold 500,000 copies in a nation of 2.5 million the equivalent of 60 million today.

Paine wrote: “We have it in our power to begin the world over again.”

Rare Sense to Save America is the 21st-century Common Sense.

It exposes the new kings the elites who divide us with media tricks while cashing in through the revolving door.

Your ancestors read Paine and picked up muskets.
