This is the Save The Republic charter.
The Problem
The political discourse in the United States is saturated with misinformation. Citizens look to news organizations to provide unbiased fact-based reporting. Unfortunately, the primary goal of news organizations is to make money. Most reputable news organizations have resorted to paywalls, have their own agendas, and are not doing the job they were intended to do.
Citizens are missing tools and methods to combat misinformation.
