Sign the Charter
Affirm the Declaration of Sovereignty and the Bill of Rights
Take Back the Power That Should Be Ours
We are told sovereignty belongs to the people. Between elections, the people have no way to use it.
Our own governments side-line us. They sign away our freedoms, act against the very people they claim to serve, and answer to us only once every few years — by which time the damage is done. A vote that swaps one set of rulers for another is not the same as a say in what they do with the power once they have it.
Consent once every few years is not consent. A sovereignty the people cannot use is no sovereignty at all. The power is said to be ours, yet it has no teeth — no means to refuse a measure, repeal a bad law, direct a government, or dissolve one that has lost the people’s trust.
The Phoenix Charter gives that power teeth. It sets out a standing power — a people’s veto, held by the people themselves and used between elections, not only at them — and a floor of rights that stands above all power, government’s and the people’s alike. The Declaration of Sovereignty and the Bill of Rights are what that settlement is written into.
Sovereignty belongs to the people.
This is what your name affirms. Set your name to it — and be counted among the people who will hold the power.
Sign below to affirm the Declaration of Sovereignty and the Bill of Rights.
It is not a vote, a donation, or a membership. It is your name set to the settlement the Charter sets out — every name added is one more of the people, counted — a standing, public record that the sovereignty the Charter affirms is claimed, not merely argued.
What You Are Affirming
Before you sign, you may wish to read what you are putting your name to:
The Declaration of Sovereignty
In short: that the people are sovereign; that this sovereignty can be given lawful force by the people’s own hand; and that a floor of rights stands above all power — including the people’s own standing power.
Signing the Charter Is Not the Petition
These are two different acts, and you may do both:
- The petition — hosted on Change.org, is step one — the public demand for the binding referendum that would establish the House of the Electorate. It presses for the process to begin.
- Signing the Charter — here, is the affirmation of the destination — the Declaration and the Bill of Rights themselves, the codified constitution that the referendum would entrench. It records your assent to the settlement, not only the demand for the vote.
If you have signed the petition, signing the Charter affirms what that petition is for. If you have not, you may do either, or both.

Your Signature Stays With the People
Your signature is recorded here, on the Charter’s own site and in its own keeping — not handed to an outside platform to hold, trade, or lose. Every entry is screened for spam, so the count stays honest, and you may sign publicly or choose to keep your name private. This is the same principle the whole Charter rests on: what belongs to the people is held by the people.
