What is the Patriot Circle?

Well, what is the Patriot Circle not? 

	It's not a new political party;
	not a partisan or special interest group;
	not a sovereign movement or program to incite tax resistance;
	not a revolutionary front;
	not a religious or philosophical cult;
	not anything substantively new, in fact.

The Patriot Circle doesn't even have a political agenda, per se.

Rather, it's a structure, a vehicle by which we, the American Patriots, can define a political agenda while addressing our social wounds.

We shall rediscover and exercise our core common interests by recording our points of agreement across the Nation and organizing ourselves in order to take effective action and create real and lasting change in the common interest and for the common good.

Isn't "revolution" a bit extreme?

Some think of revolution as a violent, bloody and terrible affair, but it need not necessarily be so.  Ours is a peaceful revolution.

These are the definitions we intend:

1. The overthrow of one government and its replacement with another (in terms of the individuals seated in government offices).

2. The overthrow or repudiation of a regime or political system by the governed (in terms of the necessary roll-back of systemic changes that the money powers have succeeded in making to our constitutional framework and republican structures that will be required to restore America).
3. A cycle of successive events or changes (in terms of the process of deep change that we, individually and collectively, will need to embrace to transform our nation into America the Beautiful).

When one understands and accepts that our entire national history is defined by the struggle between the parasitic money powers and the principles and proponents of democracy; that the money powers have won by deception and treachery and "our" government is in fact not ours at all but their mere proxy; and that they are right now in the end game of intentionally and forever destroying America; then the only appropriate call is for revolution.

Yes, these may seem radical ideas in the context of the successful perversion of history that we are taught through the public school system and the media - both of which are propaganda instruments of the money powers, but they are were not radical ideas for most of our nation's history and are well documented in the writings and addresses of our nation's heroes such as Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln, to name but a few.  Learn more.

We are a group of concerned citizens with no formal ties to any political party, group or organization.  We don't work for anyone, are not funded by any sources other than public support, and are beholden to no one but you, the American People.  We have no secrets or hidden agendas.

We do this because we must: knowledge implies a moral imperative to act, and we hope to infect you with this knowledge and passion.

No.  This is an all-welcome, come-as-you-are movement.  However, we are asking you to change how you think, orienting from competitive partisanship towards a recognition of our common interest core beliefs, needs and wants so that we can work together to achieve them.

Yes, and no.  The Patriot Circle organization is non-partisan in that we don't represent any party of party agenda; but our membership is pan-partisan, meaning it welcomes and includes everyone with their partisan affiliations and positions.

No.  Emphatically no.

Centrism is a dangerous trend in current politics that attempts to homogenize partisans to a compromised moderate position as if it were a consensus process.  It is not. 

When we hear calls to end partisanship emanating from the establishment, we hear an effort to trick us into believing it's a good thing.  It's not.

The Patriot Circle invites all to come as we are from across the political spectrum, knowing that we disagree on much, but gathering to discover where we agree so we can focus together on preserving those things - core things such as liberty and justice, the Constitution, etc....

Does the Patriot Circle have a political position or agenda?

No... and yes. 

The pc seeks to elicit consensus on what we, the People of America, believe, need and want in order to develop agendas.  To do so, we ask open questions within the Consensus Council process, the answers of which are then collected and organized by frequency of expression to provide the basis of our social and political agendas; and as our movement grows, we will regularly float polls or referenda on important issues for the same purpose.  As such, the PC does not begin with an agenda beyond our mission statement and its elaborated implications.  At the same time, we do certainly intend to use influence with integrity to promote a set of social and political changes that we believe, upon very careful study and reflection, to represent the essential common interest questions that we hope will form the core of our consensus agenda.

Does the material on this site represent the final word?

The Patriot Circle materials are all working documents: they will evolve as we gain experience, gather input and data from the Consensus Council process, and receive feedback from you. 

Don't tell us what's wrong or can't be done; tell us how to do it better.
