Our Inaugural FNV Campaigns
The first three nationwide FNV campaigns chosen by the American Majority Party for ACTIVE status on our homepage are illustrative of policies that are supported by a vast majority of Americans, but are otherwise blocked from becoming law by entrenched minority interests.
(1) Women’s Reproductive Rights has emerged as the defining issue of 2022, in the wake of the overturn of Roe v. Wade by the U.S. Supreme Court. Depending on how the issue is framed, polls show that between 70 and 80 percent of voting-age Americans support the right of women to make their own health care decisions in accordance with the guidelines set forth in Roe v. Wade.
(2) Sensible gun control, like that described in our second FNV campaign, is supported by large majorities of citizens, including gun owners, in almost all jurisdictions. Schools shootings like those at Sandy Hook, Parkland, and Robb Elementary (Uvalde TX) have driven substantial increases in support for this type of regulation, but legislators at all levels of government remain beholden to well-funded minorities who oppose any regulation of firearms at all.
(3) Recent decisions of the US Supreme Court related to women’s reproductive rights and gun control have imposed minority-held views on a citizenry that overwhelmingly opposes these policies. This FNV Campaign is designed to address the problem at its source, by forcing elected representatives to impeach and convict Justice Clarence Thomas of the Supreme Court.
The goal of this FNV Campaign is twofold:
- to return the Court to a more moderate, non-partisan path of traditional jurisprudence based on respect for precedent (stare decisis); and
- to demonstrate the power of NVP Campaigns to impose the majority’s will on democratic institutions that have been rendered dysfunctional by partisan politics.
Justice Clarence Thomas is targeted in this action because he has violated numerous rules of conduct during the course of his Supreme Court tenure and has displayed open disdain and hostility towards the institution that employs him. The authors of this FNV Campaign acknowledge there are other Justices who are equally deserving of impeachment; if this Campaign succeeds, perhaps other Justices can be removed in the future.
The success of this FNV Campaign would demonstrate the ability of the people to supersede partisan politics and bring democracy into the age of the Internet.
