It's been a tough few years for "we the people."
We've endured repeated abuses of power by the Executive Branch of our government. Time after time, we've watched Congress fail to stand up for what's right. We've seen the very symbols of our democracy tarnished, as our nation's reputation suffers at home and abroad because of these abuses.
So today, Common Cause is launching a campaign to Recapture the Flag and unite us around the promise and hope of America.
Join today by signing our petition!
The Recapture the Flag Petition reads:
We The People believe in the Constitution, the rule of law and justice for all. We pledge to Recapture the Flag by demanding a President and Congress that:
*Ends torture, respects human rights and restores America's reputation in the world.
*Respects the rule of law and fiercely challenges anyone who seeks to undermine the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
*Roots out corruption, special interest abuses and partisan prejudice in the administration of justice.
*Holds to account – without exception – anyone who breaks the law or violates the public trust.
*Protects personal freedom by rejecting warrantless spying and other affronts to individual liberty.

Let's make it clear that We The People expect no less from the next President and Congress.
Our goal is to gather 50,000 signatures -- and we're already almost halfway there. You can help put us over the top. But you have to act now. Please add your name today.
