The United States government has refused to ensure free, fair, honest, transparent elections, and has ignored clear, regular and widespread evidence of election fraud and deception--the political parties and candidates ask for my vote but cannot ensure that my vote is counted. Once elected, officials no longer take my vote into consideration and cannot be held accountable, so my vote is not a voice in government and therefore not a true vote.

The United States government is comprised of a President who is in breach of his Presidential oath and of legislators and officials who have passed unlawful and unconstitutional bills and who have placed themselves above the law.

I reaffirm the final authority of the people to grant or to withhold the mandate to govern or enact laws in our name and I withdraw my vote from these compromised and discredited elections. I do not delegate power to any representative to govern or enact laws in my name. I do not consent to unjust government in which I have no voice. I do not authorize torture, wars of aggression, or crimes against humanity, and I do not support any government engaged in such actions.

I am voting instead for true government of the people, by the people, and for the people, and to this end I pledge to work to establish citizen ownership of transparent, participatory democracy.

(Please copy this pledge and circulate it. There is nothing to sign and no group to join, no membership drive, no fundraising, no sponsors, etc., just a citizen-owned movement for transparent participatory democracy. You own it. Make it happen!)
