OUR MISSION

The mission of Concerned Americans is public education, with the aim of helping U.S. citizens and legal U.S. residents to become participants in their own government.  Concerned Americans is a strictly non-partisan organization that does not become involved with elections or endorse political candidates.  Instead, when the elections are over, we help ordinary Americans influence the officials they have chosen to represent them, regardless of party.  Our main goal is more participation and better legislation.

OLD-FASHIONED GRASSROOTS ACTION

It still gets a politician's attention when a large stack of signed paper petitions shows up in his or her office.  That is what Concerned Americans does.  We help you understand key issues, and provide you with petitions you can sign and send back to us for delivery to Capitol Hill, the White House, or where needed.

BUILDING A BETTER AMERICA

Concerned Americans is committed to finding ordinary Americans who are concerned about the direction of our country but who don't want to get involved in electoral politics.  Concerned Americans strives to make it easy for you to take quick, small actions that -- when combined with thousands of other Americans -- add up to a statement that our elected officials cannot ignore.

One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors. – Plato
