Join the Pro-Democracy Movement

A new kind of "Super PAC" - Politically Active Citizens

The acronym PAC ordinarily stands for "Political Action Committee". The focus of most PACs is on raising enormous amounts of money and then spending that money to get candidates elected who will serve the interests of the backers of the PAC (typically corporations and billionaires). 


Government by the People is a different kind of PAC. We are a loose collective of "Politically Active Citizens". The focus of Government by the People is to build a broad and inclusive movement of Politically Active Citizens who share a common gaol - making America a Perfect Democracy.  


Everyone who votes, runs for office, or holds office is politically active. In the context of our campaign to Make America a Perfect Democracy, we define Politically Active Citizens as individuals who contribute time and/or money to political candidates, political parties, or other organizations or campaigns of a political nature. 


Communication and coordination are essential to the success of our grassroots, pro-democracy movement. If you are reading this, you almost certainly fit our description of a Politically Active Citizen. Joining our movement to Make America a Perfect Democracy is as simple as providing us with your contact information (email address and/or phone number) by whatever means you prefer. You can simply submit your email address, send an email to info@GovernmentByThePeople.org, or use the Contact Form (below). 


Your information will not be sold or shared. You will not receive emails or text messages soliciting financial contributions. 


You will receive updates regarding our progress.
