Make America STATES Again — Overview

For far too long, the federal government has expanded its grasp, encroaching upon the powers and prerogatives reserved to the states and the people. This centralization of authority is not only a betrayal of the constitutional system our Founders crafted, but a clear and present danger to the liberties we hold dear. The solution to this overreach does not lie in hoping for a shift in Washington, D.C., but rather in the states, the originally intended guardians of sovereignty. As James Madison wisely counseled, the states “have the right, and are in duty bound, to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil” of any unconstitutional acts of the federal government.

The “Make America STATES Again” action project is designed to inspire, educate, and mobilize patriots across the country to restore the balance of power between the federal government and the states. Here, you will find the resources needed to engage in this vital effort — whether by working to pass legislation in your state, educating others about state sovereignty, or becoming a champion of the Constitution’s vision of a limited federal government. Together, we can reclaim the freedoms that federal overreach has eroded, and we can do this by making America STATES again!
