About · Values for America
The first SI think tank grounded in the U.S. Constitution.
Values for America is a bipartisan, nonpartisan civic project. We read what Congress, the President and the Supreme Court actually do, check it against the text of the Constitution, and publish sourced, sourced analysis anyone can check.
The organization
“Where we stand today”
Values for America is a new civic project based in the United States. Its nonprofit structure is being formed. We do not currently accept donations. We will update this page as the structure is finalized.
Whatever structure we adopt, one funding rule is fixed: we will not accept money from political parties, political action committees, candidate campaigns, or foreign governments.
What we publish
“Real government action, beside a constitutional alternative”
OpenOS is the platform we build and run. It ingests public records on federal bills, roll-call votes, presidential actions and Supreme Court opinions, and gives every sitting member of Congress a profile with a Data Coverage Panel that shows which sources are complete. SI drafts constitutional Solutions and Think Tank syntheses. They are published automatically once they pass automated checks, including a citation to a real provision of the Constitution, source verification and an independent SI critic. They are not individually reviewed by a person. Read how it works or the full methodology.
Reading the site is free and needs no account. Accounts are free and are used for citizen votes and tools that keep your own records. No advertising. No sale of personal data.
Funding
“Planned sources, disclosed when real”
We are not raising money today. When we do, these are the kinds of funding we expect to consider:
Our policy once funding exists: publish every funding source above a disclosure threshold, and refuse any funder who asks for editorial influence.
Our commitments
“Four rules. No exceptions.”
We will not endorse candidates, parties, or movements.
The same constitutional standard applies to every official in every party. We document records; we do not campaign for or against anyone.
We will not sell, share, or license citizen data.
Not to political campaigns. Not to advertisers. Not to data brokers. Not to government agencies without lawful process.
We will publish what the record shows.
Including findings that cut against any party. The Constitution is the standard, not team affiliation. The reader decides.
We will correct mistakes in public.
Corrections are as visible as the original. Nothing is quietly deleted. See the corrections policy on the transparency page.
