Project 2027

Why Treat 2027 as an Emergency

Over the past year the executive branch has brushed off court orders, deployed masked agents to detain civilians without identification, forced loyalty screenings on career experts, and threatened journalists and universities for speaking up. These are authoritarian tactics, not “scandals of the week.” If we normalize them, they calcify.

Across polls, large majorities of independents and conservatives agree that no official is above the law, elections must be fair, and civil servants should not fear partisan purges. Project 2027 channels that consensus urgency into a sequenced plan that a democracy-supporting majority can pass immediately.

Core Promise: The Five Guarantees

In our first 100 days of 2027, we will deliver a unified package of democracy repairs that guarantees:

• Accountability: The law applies to everyone — presidents included.
• Fair Elections: Every vote is counted and weighted equally.
• Clean Money: Dark money is exposed and foreign influence is blocked.
• Ethical Courts: Judges follow enforceable ethics and recusal rules.
• Professional Government: Public service depends on merit, not loyalty tests.

No kings. No strongmen. Just laws.

Priority Repairs for the First 100 Days

This ordered list shows what we pass first, why it matters, and how it succeeds with a simple majority. Each item has ready-to-file bill text scaffolding.

1. 1. Emergency Rule of Law Restoration Act

   Authorizes indictment of any federal official for criminal conduct, clarifies that “official acts” never shield election crimes, civil-rights abuses, or personal enrichment, tolls statutes of limitations while in office, routes disputes to a three-judge panel with expedited Supreme Court review, and forces timely compliance with court orders and subpoenas so no president can stonewall justice again.

2. 2. DOJ & Civil Service Integrity Act

   Locks in for-cause removal protections, blocks Schedule F–style reclassifications, protects whistleblowers and inspectors general, caps White House interference with case decisions to the Attorney General and White House Counsel with quarterly public contact logs, publishes final Office of Legal Counsel opinions, and guarantees independent special counsel budgets plus career-led succession plans.

3. 3. Federal Officer Accountability & Due Process Act

   Requires visible identification and body-worn cameras for federal personnel operating in civilian spaces, mandates recorded chain-of-command approvals, bans off-book street apprehensions, creates an automatic probable-cause hearing within 24 hours, and triggers independent inspector review with DOJ referral whenever force is used on civilians.

4. 4. Free Speech & Anti-Retaliation Act

   Bars the use of federal funds to punish lawful speech, protects journalists and academic institutions from retaliatory investigations, codifies a federal reporter’s shield with narrow national-security exceptions, and offers rapid appeal rights for civil servants, contractors, and grantees targeted for their viewpoints.

5. 5. Democracy Defense & Fair Representation Act

   Sets national standards against partisan gerrymandering, limits congressional redistricting to once per decade absent court order, funds voluntary independent commissions, requires open data and citizen-submitted map portals, and grants voters fast-track standing in federal court to strike down rigged maps.

6. 6. Secure Elections & Voter Access Act

   Requires voter-verifiable paper ballots, risk-limiting audits, a minimum of 14 days of early voting, accessible vote-by-mail with tracking and cure options, and provides emergency grants for cybersecurity, staffing, and physical security upgrades so local officials can meet the standards.

7. 7. Clean Money & Ethics Enforcement Act

   Modernizes the FEC into a five-member commission with a nonpartisan tiebreaker, imposes real-time donor and beneficial ownership disclosure, bans spending by foreign-influenced corporations, strengthens anti-straw-donor penalties, and adds teeth to Hatch Act, emoluments, and nepotism enforcement with meaningful fines and suspension authority.

Packaging option: move items 1–4 as a “Rule of Law Emergency Package,” items 5–6 as a “Democracy Defense Package,” and item 7 as a “Clean Money & Ethics Package,” with coordinated hearings and markups.

Supporting Oversight & Administrative Actions

• Oversight blitz: Launch hearings on presidential immunity claims, politicized prosecutions, unauthorized deployments, and dark-money networks within the first two weeks.
• Inspector General surge: Rehire purged watchdogs, fill vacancies with qualified nominees, and mandate public dashboards tracking open recommendations.
• Emergency staffing: Stand up cross-agency task forces on election security, civil-service retaliation, and ethics enforcement to coordinate implementation while legislation moves.

Long-Horizon Commitments

Some repairs require sustained work beyond the first 100 days. We flag them as commitments so voters know the destination:

• Pursue constitutional amendments clarifying no officer is above criminal law and restoring the ability to enact reasonable campaign-spending limits (overturning Citizens United).
• Study 18-year Supreme Court term limits, enforceable ethics oversight, and balanced expansion options.
• Expand civic education and resilient media ecosystems through a Civics & Civic Tech Fund once immediate guardrails are restored.

Using This Plan on the Trail

• Lead with urgency: Open every stump speech with the Five Guarantees and the first three repairs.
• Draw the contrast: Ask opponents on camera whether they support each guarantee; publish every answer.
• Localize the wins: Tie repairs to safer streets, honest elections, and protection for whistleblowers neighbors know by name.
• Share the badge: Add the Project 2027 supporter badge to campaign sites, newsletters, and yard signs.
