How do we clean up politics?
- 1. Provide that public elections are publicly funded;
- 2. Limit, and make transparent, independent political expenditures, and;
- 3. Reaffirm that when the Declaration of Independence spoke of entities “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,” it was speaking of natural persons only.

About Us
Our republic is dangerously out of balance. Well-financed special interests routinely bend the levers of power to benefit the few at the expense of our general welfare.
Political bribery has been legalized by the courts, and both major parties have been co-opted and corrupted by the system.
The result: The upper 1% have done well. The other 99% of us have been left behind. And now we've reached a breaking point.
Rootstrikers is aimed at restoring power over American politics and government to 100% of the people. We hope patriots of all political persuasions will join us to help build an unstoppable grassroots movement that demands and delivers lasting reforms.
Henry David Thoreau wrote, "There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root." Together, we must strike at the root of America's problems.Join us.
