The American Union is a block of frustrated voters willing to ignore divisive partisan politics and put the focus back on doing what’s right for Americans.
We demand immediate passage of our crowd-sourced legislation, the Blueprint for a Better America. When 3.5% of Americans unite, Congress will recognize they’ll need our votes to hold power and meet our terms.

Republicans and Democrats divide us
Rational adults can disagree without fighting, and we can find solutions if we can agree on our goals. Luckily, the founding fathers left us a list of duties in the Constitution: Establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty, to ourselves and our posterity.
When we get back to basics, we can end poverty, end mass incarceration, and end the endless wars.
The three planks
