America is an idea.
An idea that honors the worth of freedom, of independence, of inclusion. It is, at its foundation, an ideal of fair laws and honoring our commitments.
F47 has reneged on long-standing agreements, and destroyed our standing as well as our economy.
We need change, fast.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
