Thank You for Your Support!

Our politics is stuck in a permanent campaign. Too many members of Congress spend more time dialing for dollars than deliberating for the public. The result is predictable: careerism, gridlock, and policy captured by special interests.

Unravel the Ruckus proposes a lawful, time-limited reset: a two-year experiment to elect a new House of Representatives that truly reflects the country’s diversity and owes allegiance only to the people. Here’s how:

Random Selection After a Civic Baseline

Any eligible citizen may opt in. Participants complete a nonpartisan civic syllabus and pass a basic test, then enter a lottery. Winners serve one term—no incumbency advantage, no fundraising treadmill.

A Short Break to Break Bad Habits

For two years, the House will be filled by ordinary Americans—teachers, truck drivers, entrepreneurs, nurses, veterans—chosen at random from qualified entrants. With no reelection to chase, members can focus on governing, not grandstanding.

A Constitutional Amendment, Narrowly Tailored

We will advance a proposed constitutional amendment to authorize this two-year pilot and establish guardrails that preserve checks and balances while ending the incentive structures that fuel perpetual fundraising and careerist politics.

Your support will directly fund the building blocks of this reform:

• Syllabus and Test Development: Commissioning an accessible, nonpartisan civic curriculum and assessment to ensure baseline readiness for service.
• Public Education and Outreach: Explaining the amendment, the lottery process, and the safeguards—so every American understands how to participate and how the experiment protects representative democracy.
• Coalition and Campaign Infrastructure: Legal drafting, ballot access, advisory board staffing, and communications to move the amendment from proposal to adoption.

This is not a partisan project. It is a democratic project. It is about giving every American—regardless of income, party, or profession—a real opportunity to serve in Congress and to legislate free from the pressures of donor maintenance and career preservation.

We are asking you to join us at the outset. A contribution that you can afford will underwrite core milestones over the next year, including convening subject-matter experts to finalize the syllabus and test, publishing the amendment text and commentary, and launching a broad public education effort.

For two years, we can give America a Congress that looks like America and works for America. Let’s unstick our politics—together.
