What do you wish was different in America - changes that are best for the common good?
Our movement exists to help these changes become reality.
Simple Liberty is a nonpartisan group of common citizens who want to save America before it’s too late.
How?
By confirming the truth about our problems, considering viable options, and developing solutions that are best for the common good. (more detail below)
We can do this.
Why We Are Divided
America is not in decline because our founding principles failed. We are divided because we stopped teaching the facts about our nation’s founding - how our government uniquely works, and our mutual covenant to the common good.
Americans have not forgotten how the government is built. Seven in ten can name all three branches, and that number is climbing.
Ask what those branches are for, and the ground gives way. Nearly four in five Americans know the First Amendment protects free speech. Fewer than half can name any of the other four freedoms it guarantees. Only 48% name freedom of religion.
And ask whether the Supreme Court is working in your interest, and the answer no longer depends on the Court. It depends on your party: 75% of Republicans say yes.Among Democrats, 18%. A 57-point gap on a single institution.(Annenberg Public Policy Center, Constitution Day Civics Survey, 2025).
We remember the machinery. We have forgotten the covenant it was built to protect - and a government that writes more law than any citizen can digest tempts people to give up, choose to be uninformed, and simply hope for the best.
When a people no longer learns its own foundation, it slowly stops sharing one. For most of our history, Americans of every faith and background professed a common set of civic values - rooted in the Judeo-Christian commitment to good character, equal rights, and responsibility to the common good.
We did not always live up to them. Slavery, segregation, and exclusion are proof of that. But the standard was shared - which is exactly why the failures could be named as failures, and corrected. A country with no common standard has no boundaries, and falls apart from within.
As more of us have put self-interest ahead of what is right, we have let that covenant lapse - the promise to be one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Unethical politicians like it this way because a divided public is easier to manipulate. Too many of our politicians want to rule us, not represent us.
When a nation loses its common values, fear fills the void - and self-interest reigns, rather than the common good.
The Constitution Is in Play
There are two routes to propose an amendment. Congress can propose one by a two-thirds vote of both chambers - the route all 27 amendments have taken. Or two-thirds of the state legislatures - 34 of 50 - can apply for a convention, which Congress must then call. That route has never been used.
Either way, nothing changes until three-fourths of the states - 38 of 50 - ratify it.
We are warning you that capable people are working to change our Constitution. The process will likely start in Congress. We are concerned the American people are not ready.
Constitutional moments are won long before the debate formally begins.
Are you ready?
The Simple Liberty Movement exists to make certain the many - we, the American people - have solid, fact-based solutions to propose and defend. Our role is developing the solutions - then, we freely share them so other patriots are ready and united before the debates begin.
The few - the Elites, politicians, and aspiring tyrants - are counting on us not to be.
Restore our Foundation
America can get better - but we have to do it.
For decades, our politicians have failed us - and grown comfortable doing it. We are done waiting on the Elites. It’s time - past time - for ordinary guys and gals - you, me, and our neighbors… commoners - to fix what our politicians and bureaucrats have broken.
How? In this republic, politicians are not our bosses. We are theirs. The Constitution put the people in charge - and it is time we started acting like it.
The process starts with us. We define the issues, confirm the truth, weigh the impact, and propose solutions based only on what is best for the common good of all Americans.
We join with others to restore America’s greatness - because no one else will.
Division is how the few rule the many. Unity is how the many take our country back.
We can do this.
What We Stand On
We are not whiners, victims, or bullies. We are problem solvers.
Join us to develop solutions grounded in America’s founding values - the only proven architecture for a free, fair, and flourishing nation.
Consider the values that enable free people to stay free, and the virtues that live through us:
Courageous Good Character Prevails - Lived through Faith, Truth, and Integrity. As Founder and President John Adams wrote, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Our faith defines who we are, how we determine truth, and the consistency of integrity in our actions.
True Equal Rights for All - Lived through Life, Liberty, and Covenant. Every American is entitled to the same protection under the same laws and the same freedom to pursue their passions in ways that do not harm others - and these rights are sustained only when citizens maintain a mutual covenant to laws protecting them.
Humbly Work for the Common Good - Lived through Gratitude, Responsibility, and Family.We have so much, but many don’t realize it.Gratitude fuels love, joy, community, and responsible behaviors to keep the unique rights our Founders secured for us.Part of that responsibility is that parents of courageous good character lovingly mentor these values into the next generation.
We Are Not the First
Every generation that saved America did it by uniting citizens in our shared covenant to the common good.
Abraham Lincoln held a fracturing nation together by insisting that government of the people, by the people, and for the people was worth preserving at any cost.
Martin Luther King, Jr. confronted profound injustice without violence - appealing to the conscience of the nation and to the founding promise of equality, and asking that Americans be measured by their character rather than their skin color.
Ronald Reagan reminded a weary country that freedom is never more than one generation from being lost, and its survival depends on what ordinary citizens are willing to do in their lifetimes.
Different eras. Different battles.
One thread: Personal integrity, a shared cultural standard, and an unwavering commitment to the common good of all Americans.
Simple Liberty carries that thread forward. We can do this.
How We Work
We call our problem solving process 4Q Scrolls (read more here). This is how it works.
There are eight primary issues in our nation, and topics within the issues. A topic is chosen and a claim is made. For instance, the issue may be Elections. The topic is Election Integrity. The claim is, Government-issued photo ID should be required at time of voting.
Then we proceed through the 4Q Scrolls questions to confirm what is best for the common good:
Q1 - Meaning | What does the claim mean? Meaning questions ask or research what the person or group means by their claim.
Q2 - Evidence | Why is the claim true? Evidence questions ask or research why they believe their claim is true.
Q3 - Impact | Who and what is affected by the claim if it became law? Impact questions consider what happens if the claim becomes reality.
Q4 - Solution | What is best for the common good of all Americans?Solution questions confirm the best way to serve the common good based on the facts.

Teens and twenty-somethings bring courage, energy, and a passion to build something that changes the world in positive ways. Much of the American Revolution’s energy came from people in their twenties. This is true for nearly every movement that lasts for generations.
We need young Americans to contribute ideas and energy based on our founding principles, your life experience, and passion to make a difference in our world.
Middle-aged adults - parents, tradespeople, professionals, workers, and small business owners - people building families and communities - bring discernment, networks, and a desire to serve the people and communities they love.
You are raising the children who will inherit our republic. You are the most exhausted segment of the country, but also the most needed. Investing your time, prayers, and/or financial support in Simple Liberty is meaningful and life-changing.
Our elder citizens bring memory, wisdom, and fortitude. You remember civic life when institutions functioned and politics were bipartisan. Citizens could disagree and still be friends. They loved America even with its flaws.
We need you to be role models of patience, discernment, empathy, encouragement, diplomacy, and insight. You carry historical and civic literacy that younger Americans have largely been denied. Your wisdom is not a relic - it is the ballast that keeps a young movement from capsizing.
The American Revolution succeeded because it combined the energy of the young, the discipline of the middle-aged, and the wisdom of the elders - united in a carefully defined structure of simple liberty in the new United States of America.
Other revolutions, missing that foundation, became the very tyrannies they overthrew. We want to thwart the destruction being forced on us by those who want to take away our rights. We seek restoration, not revolution.
We can do this.
