How It Works

Popular Veto collects complaints and aggregates them for presentation to Congress, making your voice impossible to ignore.

The U.S. establishes a separation of powers, but ultimately Congress makes all the rules. If the people want something, Congress should take care of it. Unfortunately, it often seems like Congress ignores what the people want. Popular Veto aims to fix that.

Popular Veto is similar to petitioning or writing your representative, but simpler and more effective. It does this by:

Automatically consolidating support around popular issues
Presenting results to individual House members based on district
Verifying U.S. residency to prove real people are demanding action

A national petition or poll is easy for Congress as a whole to ignore, but it is hard for individual members to ignore their own constituents.

Popular Veto can cause real change if enough people use it. For example, if there is 51% support for an issue in a district, the congressperson representing that district would be morally compelled to support it too.
