Q: What are AmericanDream’s objectives?
A: As your online remote control of news and political engagement, AmericanDream has two key objectives:
1) Provide the best news experience possible - organizing it all for you in one web portal. The old way was letting the media determine what you should read. AmericanDream puts you in charge by helping you select what to explore, share, and discuss with your family, friends, and colleagues.
2) Put citizens back in control of their government. AmericanDream is a unique social networking community that provides customizable information (all sources are clearly identified by bias) to help you compare different perspectives, learn more, and articulate what you believe — whatever those beliefs are — and hold your politicians accountable. We are helping you rebuild our democracy from the ground up.
Q: What was the origin of AmericanDream?
A: In 2012, AmericanDream predicted more media, academic, and other bias would infect our politics and increase polarization. Unfortunately, that led to government lawfare and many stakeholders manipulating content while censoring, demonetizing, and demoralizing those with different perspectives to shamefully create their future of government and the internet – their truths, their agendas. Even though we liked the idea of elected officials peering over walls they built to see millions of electronic torches and pitchforks headed their way, we knew that was not the answer. The people needed to be prioritized by putting their words, thoughts, and desires into action.
Q: Why should you get involved?
A: A clear fact was amplified over the last decade – the existing institutions along with proposed solutions from NGOs, social media platforms, and Apps (including X and Meta) failed our Nation. Most social media activities simply reverberate in echo chambers and ultimately disappear into the internet ether, making their overall impact negligible. There must be a better way than only relying on electoral accountability with elections every 2, 4, or 6 years.
The significant changes Elon Musk made evolving Twitter to X and Mark Zuckerberg’s announcement on January 7, 2025, that Meta will end its fact-checking program and adopt X-like community notes are big changes to the social media landscape. What they are proving, and what has always been core to AmericanDream’s operations, is the answer to uncomfortable opinions is more speech so those with different perspectives don’t operate in the shadows, foment anger, and choose disastrous alternatives. One standard of justice for all and free and open debate leads to discussions that help all sides and are the foundations of our democratic society.
Q: What are AmericanDream’s next steps?
AmericanDream is gearing up to relaunch in 2025.
