America faces a profound and escalating internal threat: the gradual erosion of democratic engagement among it’s own citizens. Each day, a silent war is waged-not with weapons, but through widespread apathy, misinformation, disinformation and civic disengagement. A troubling majority of U.S. citizens lack a fundamental understanding of the structure and function of our constitutional republic. This civic illiteracy undermines the very foundation of our democracy.

Over time, we have devalued the teaching of civics and weakened our sense of national responsibility. As a result, our freedoms are increasingly vulnerable-not just from external forces, but from within. A quiet but consequential proxy war is being fought against democratic participation itself.

Our mission is to counter this decline by equipping citizens with knowledge and practical tools to reengage with their government. We begin with initiatives like the “Bill Tracker”-a resource designed to help Americans monitor legislation, create informed discourse, and ultimately hold elected officials accountable.

History and research show that an informed public is far more likely to participate in the democratic process. When citizens understand the challenges their nation faces, they are more inclined to take action. Awareness breeds responsibility, and responsibility fuels resistance to tyranny. If people grasp the true stakes, they will rise to defend what is theirs. If they understand the plight they will fight! We must remember the system works for us.
