Citizen’s Oath
I do solemnly pledge that I will faithfully execute the office of citizen of the United States, and that I will, to the best of my ability, help create a truly democratic world by
(1) going beyond mainstream corporate news media to seek out information about important political, economic, and social issues;
(2) engaging fellow citizens, including those who disagree with me, in serious discussion and debate about those issues;
(3) committing as much time, energy, and money as possible to help build grassroots political organizations that can pressure politicians to put the interests of people over profit and power; and
(4) connecting these efforts to global political and social movements fighting the U.S. empire abroad, where it does the most intense damage. And I will continue to resist corporate control of the world, resist militarism, resist the roll-back of civil rights, and resist illegitimate authority in all its forms.
