Rejoin, or die.
You cannot love America and hate Americans. Love of country starts with the person across the table, especially when you can't stand what they said. Rejoin someone you disagree with, and join the Battle to Save the Republic.
Franklin runs the presses and Paine edits. The Spirits spill the tea on what happened 250 years ago this morning, read today's headlines and answer back, dare you to find out what you actually believe, and send you down the street to argue with a neighbor over coffee.

How you save a Republic:
REJOIN
Take back someone you lost to politics. The first cup is on the Spirits.
Rejoin, or drink alone.
STAND
Find out what you stand for, and what you will stand up for.
FIGHT
For the Republic, not against your neighbor. The Founders left you the tools.

STEP ONE: REJOIN
Common Grounds
Hang together or hang separately, I said. I have not changed my mind. Rejoin with the friend or loved one you lost to politics. The first cup is on us.
The Spirits are buying for the first 76 tables. Sit down with someone you fell out with, check in together, and both your names go in the drawing.
Small print: free entry path always available. No purchase, no essay, no catch.
Rejoin, or drink alone.

STEP TWO: STAND
The Armory
Prepare for battle. Quills need sharpening; so do wits, minds, and vision. Sharpen yours.
Three slices: Get Reconstituted / Health of the Republic / Where Do You Stand.

STEP THREE: FIGHT
The Battle to Save the Republic
Not with muskets. With the tools the Founders left you: a press, a pen, and a table you refuse to leave. The enemy was never your neighbor. It is the few who profit when we turn on each other.
The Declaration
Of an Independent People.
The ReConstitution
The Republic, redrafted.
The Origin Story
How this happened.
Write with us
The presses want your hands. The future gate to the writer's room.

HOW THIS HAPPENED
The Origin Story
The Spirits came back for a party and found a country divided, each side claiming to love America while hating half her people. Franklin rewired the machine. Call it a haunting. They call it desperate times.
