A 10-Point Plan to End the Weaponization of Government
The ongoing misuse and abuse of governmental powers and institutions to target political and ideological opponents undermines the core principles of America First policies. This process weaponizes and politicizes our fundamental institutions of democracy and erodes public confidence in the equal application of the law. The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) has developed a 10-point plan for a fair, transparent, and accountable government that operates with integrity and serves the public interest. By establishing robust oversight mechanisms and fostering a culture of impartiality, these recommendations would protect the principles of democracy and ensure governmental power is not misused for partisan gain. AFPI’s vision is a government that serves the people, upholds the rule of law, and commits to fair and impartial justice for all Americans.
