The People’s Tribune Council Announces Launch to Restore Accountability
A New Civic Watchdog for the Rights of the American People is Born.
On the 252nd anniversary of the Boston Tea Party—the moment that ignited the American Revolution—experienced patriots and civic leaders announced the official launch of the People’s Tribune Council, a new, historically grounded civic body established to safeguard the natural and constitutional rights of the American People.
On December 16, 1773, ordinary citizens acted not in rebellion against law, but in defense of liberty, accountability, and consent of the governed. The People’s Tribune Council is founded in that same tradition—not to govern, legislate, or prosecute, but to ensure that those who wield public power remain accountable to the People who vested them with it.
Modeled after the ancient Roman Tribunus Plebis—the Tribune of the People—the Council revives a time-tested civic safeguard designed to stand between citizens and the abuse of state power. In ancient Rome, the Tribune existed to speak when elites would not listen, to shield citizens from unjust prosecutions, and to restrain corruption before it hardened into tyranny.
Today, the American Republic faces a parallel crisis: the rise of lawfare, jurisdictional evasion, selective enforcement, and procedural punishment—aimed at parents, dissidents, whistleblowers, and ordinary citizens.
“The People’s Tribune Council exists because a free republic cannot survive when accountability collapses,” said organizers. “This is not a partisan project and not a substitute for existing institutions. It is a civic instrument designed to restore the People’s capacity to judge the conduct of their rulers when other safeguards fail.”
The Council will gather testimony, document patterns of abuse, expose jurisdictional manipulation, and communicate its findings publicly and, where appropriate, directly to executive authority—including the President of the United States. Its authority is moral, arising from the same self-evident Natural Rights articulated in the Declaration of Independence. It claims no power of coercion; it operates instead through transparency, evidence, and disciplined public scrutiny—the rightful instruments of a free people.
The Council does not serve donors, lobbyists, or political factions. Its authority rests on the principle that government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed. When that consent is abused or bypassed, the People retain both the right and the duty to demand correction. The People’s Tribune Council draws its lawful justification from this truth—not to claim power, but to exercise supervisory judgment. It exists to fulfill the role the Founders assumed the People would never surrender: to evaluate the conduct of their rulers, identify abuses of authority, and demand a return to first principles when government departs from them.
Organizers emphasized that formal recognition of the People’s Tribune Council by President Donald J. Trump would represent a historic act of constitutional restoration—giving the People a renewed seat at the table and fulfilling the promise articulated on January 20, 2017: that power would be transferred back to the American People. Such recognition, they noted, would stand as a defining legacy of a presidency committed to accountability, equal justice, and the defense of citizens targeted for lawful dissent.
The People’s Tribune Council is launching alongside the publication of a forthcoming Common Sense for the 21st Century, a modern companion to Thomas Paine’s revolutionary pamphlet, which argues that liberty is preserved not by procedure alone, but by a vigilant, morally grounded citizenry capable of judging power.

Peoples Tribune Council Release 121625 1 by Joe Ho
Excellent move! "Its authority is moral, arising from the same self-evident Natural Rights articulated in the Declaration of Independence. It claims no power of coercion; it operates instead through transparency, evidence, and disciplined public scrutiny—the rightful instruments of a free people."
President Trump should commend this and enlist its counsel to address and correct the evil that is attempting to destroy our Republic! Congress and the Judiciary must be held accountable or else our national Rule of Law collapses and we live in anarchy!
Thank you! Kelly John Walker
This is all well and good, but does the Peoples Tribune Council have any teeth?
Otherwise, it's just a watchdog agency.
Organized over watch by we the people.. IMHO it's what has been lacking for 2 centuries in this country.
Trump is restoring our knowledge of OUR CIVIC DUTIES and inspiring
generations here and now and those to come to never let them go again.
but some people are never happy and do nothing but complain…preferring to be an anchor…. i digress
So far there is no evidence that President Trump has anything to do with this.
technically no but i think we can all agree that he’s the inspiration. and if he signs this and i expect he will
he will then have everything to do with it.
So far nothing, just pie in the sky hopeium. And what will they accomplish and how? A new forth branch? Another layer of unelected / unaccountable NGO bureaucracy?
I am sorry i just don’t think i can help you with your negative nancy
From article -" the Council does not serve donors, lobbyists" – no one will be selling out American favors for a second income, which is what has been in place many years with politicians and judges.
Nope. I understand your skepticism. We're real people willing to speak out for all us normal folks.
Ha! was thinking the same thing…
We have 80 million teeth. Want to be one?
I checked your site. Contact link DOA. It's written specifically for J6'rs, which is fine, but I was hoping for an org with connections where we could get real answers to all the issues we've been lied to for so long. %wise, not many of us were j6rs?
Like, how is it that the whole nation is thrown under the bus when crooked elections in a few states occurs? Then they tell us, one state's elections don't impact you in another state? Yeah that's a crock o crap? Or decades of farm bills & aid packages that have never done anything for actual farmers? I want to be able to press some leaders & demand real answers?
How about who are they? Why on earth would I place any trust or interest in a group that is anonymous?
Exactly, most of these groups end up being silly and of no consequence and just grift people's money. Or they will be quickly revealed to be run by nefarious actors who can't be trusted. On the other hand, if they are all that they say they are, and start to be effective, in a positive way; well then, they will soon be taken over by bad actors and corrupted.
The article says it has no power, and is a watchdog agency, in other words.
Because it worked so well in Europe. E.g. Reiner Fuellmich.
We aren't Europe.
We’re getting there. When you lose the juduciary and the legislature, the choices devolve towards revolution or obseisance.
Take a closer look. This is for you.
The 20th arm of government?
How about a move to educate 'Merica about constitutional civics.
Morality is a Tyrant, it's the Activist, the Intellectual, it's revenge, it's a Monster. Western Civilization is for Ethical People.
This Tribune Council is all well and good to "inform" us of all the corruption and oppression, but…it seems it's just another barking dog.
We don't need another barking dog info source, we need something that actually bites, hurts and produces "results"!
Were the Founding Fathers "barking dogs?" Take a closer look.
No! The Founding Fathers were “ACTION” takers. They literally fought against an oppressive, tyrannical King! This new Tribune Council Org is just another blah, blah, blah without ACTION!!
I’ll be doin’ that. I hope there’s lots of prayer warriors among the patriots.
That power you seek, is concentrated in our three branches of government !
We must regain control over all three branches, and rid ourselves of the Money, and Propaganda, that has seized control over OUR REPUBLIC !
This will be as useless as the people's version on IA for the police. In the end, there will be only 1 way anyone is held accountable for there treasonous actions and that is BY THE PEOPLE AND BY THEIR LEAD.
The People have been emasculated by the Money, and Information theft of our politicians !
We must assert our power again, forcefully, if necessary.
God willing, we can have a "bloodless revolution." Keep watching; spread the word…and keep your money; it's not about that. It's about Freedom and getting our country back.
…and that's why we exist: for and by the people. It will be as useful as the patriots were 250 years ago. The power comes from we the People. Are you in?
I’m old and broken, but when it finally happens, I will play any roll where I can be used. Most likely support. But I can still hit moving targets, both with lead and my bumper.
What will it do & can it link to DOGE for real cuts
The DOJ exists solely to punish the peasants and cover up the crimes of the powerful. Accountability needs to be restored, but it won't come from a corrupt DOJ or Supreme Court.
Exactly. And that's why some good people have come together to build this. No funding, no special interests. Just patriots.
Nor from a "bought and paid for" Congress !
It is time for a second Revolution, driven by Patriots, not Lawyer Politicians !
This Revolution will begin PEACEFULLY, and will remain so … as government allows !
Absolutely. We are here to help you finally have a voice. We're all donating our talents and abilities to help. Stay tuned.
Lawyers protecting lawyers! Thats what we have!
We have a Government OF liberal Lawyers, BY Liberal Lawyers, FOR liberal lawyers. 1k$ per hour minimum of course.
Criminals protecting criminals
One man's lawfare, sedition, COUP and insurrections are another man's business as usual!
MAGA, that you PDJT!
Who's paying? How much?
Don't worry, some nice sounding new NGO (like, Freedom Committee) will supply the funds…
I get your skepticism, I really do. But we won't be seeking funding. We are all real people pitching in to do the right thing. You won't see "donate" links on the site.
In other words, taxpayers paying for money laundering. NGO’s need to be abolished!
"A New Civic Watchdog for the Rights of the American People is Born." Yep, weve seen this before. Another money grifting non-profit in which 80 percent or better will be absorbed into "admin costs" and outside of openly snivelling about something, they will do nothing but collect donations for doing nothing.
We won't be asking for funding. We are all real people pitching in to do the right thing. You won't see "donate" links on the site. So, there won't be any financials. :) I think we are all tired of "conservative, Inc."
Well… I hope that is the case and it stays that way. If so, good on ya. But call me skeptical until I am not.
Not partisan, (by partisan) those terms usually come alongside scum like McCain, Pence, Mittens Romney, and a whole lot of other communist Democrats? So I'll wait & see who they want to expose first.
Hope they reign in these leftist that think they have unchecked power.
Is the next step Revolution ?
We will do our best.
Judicial Watch already does this well. Tom even brings the receipts and shows the crime. The DOJ has rarely done anything about it unless forced by a story that won't go away.
The eagle is looking in the wrong direction. Look up "War Eagle"!
Well, that could be the case; we're just ordinary people. But…maybe there's some unintended symbology there—when your government is going in the wrong direction, it's time to turn it back to the Founding Principles, yes?
Anything titled "The People's" makes me worry. How long before it becomes just another Dem controlled means of stifling speech of conservatives? It is a good idea as long as the conservatives can keep control of it.
Think of it as a National Home Owners Association (HOA) loaded with a bunch of overweight, liberal Karen’s screetching at you about taking away your guns.
Do we really want this?
Supreme Court will just find it has no standing.
They did NOTHING to protect our elections.
We don't need the Supreme Court any more than the Founding Fathers needed the British court system. We are real, working people, exercising our God-given rights. We're not an agency, won't ask for donations, and aren't asking for permission. Stay tuned.
Do we have F-16s? Joe said we would need F-16s.
I would love to see it. I just don't think enough Americans would fight their way out of a paper bag anymore.
It's prettyIt's pretty simple if you think about it if you want the government and it's power which is given to it by us to respect the people the people need to be unified in one simple thing whether you're left right gay straight Christian Hindu whatever we should be behind supporting that Constitution and the immediate accountability of criminal and Shady Behavior now the only way that would be accomplished in this day and age is if there was a means to amass the people in such a large number that we all were the resounding voice marched on DC and made it very very clear fix your shit or the 150 million of us we're going to pull your asses out of your offices and hold new elections accountability is important teeth are just as important being able to exert power and unfortunately most of us in this country For Better or Worse have been indoctrinated to follow a system that is completely controlled by ever encroaching tyrants and those types of things don't stop unless the people come together and force it to stop
Is it like the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval?
Start with the cops, judges and prosecutors.
And what gives it teeth is the 2nd ammendment….without it there is no power of the people for enforcement
and who exactly is this shady group that does not list their leadership, members or funding?
E politicus hangum
This is good. We tried it in the 90's, The "Republic for the United States". The same principle. Everyone at the top was arrested and jailed for various reasons, tax evasion, sedition and so on. All they did was hold open meetings explaining what the Constitution said, meant and what your Natural Rights are. The leadership is all gone now, they would be pleased for this new development. The Deep State will not like this and will respond with more vitriol for freedom loving Americans.
Never take your freedom and rights for granted, many died for your rights and freedom, don't let them down!
If at first you don't succeed…
It's time we people reassert our rights !
We can START with the NEW BUDGET, and the balancing WE DEMAND !
NO MORE POLITICAL BULLSCHIFFT !
Thanks for refreshing my memory on that. Weren't some of Ronnie's former cabinet part of that? I just remember, I actually thought they were good folk at the time?
The best, Patriots!
ya'll know ya'lls orange MASTER fu…….uuummmm had sex with aporn star and many others right hypocrites????????? is that righeous ain't ever heard a im sorry i have sin from him what is up with that hypocrites prove me wrong
One year in, with the House, Senate and Presidency and not a single arrest of the scum that stole our country.
Like another 'talking shop' will make any difference. The uniparty elites have no intention of changing anything voluntarily, this is just red meat for the rubes.
Yet another group preying on patriots. Whe I see Financials that cap administration at 6% then I might sendm money
We won't be seeking funding. We are all real people pitching in to do the right thing. You won't see "donate" links on the site. So, there won't be any financials. :) I think we are all tired of "conservative, Inc."
The need for such an entity, is testament to the deviation of our government from our Constitutional pathway.
Money, and information manipulation, have forced 'We The People' to seek redress, by directly avoiding our elected politicians !
Americans … Beware !
At this very moment, we have some 530+/- people on OUR payroll who will all tell us they're "working hard" to save us money & protect our freedoms.
Every single one of them KNOWS all the corruption in their respective chambers, and NOT ONE OF THEM will just get behind a camera and blow it all open.
If just one did that, even if that person was guilty, they'd be the only one of ALL congress that would be worth reelecting.
How about accountability for their crimes? It does not do that.
We allowed Congress to SEIZE our Republjc, with ever increasing DEFICIT SPENDING !
THIS FOLLY MUST STOP !
ONLY WE THE PEOPLE CAN FORCE CONGRESS TO STOP !
Agreed, and that's what People's Tribune Council is all about. Stay tuned.
Another think tank with no teeth soon to be soliciting donations from the vacuum chamber.
Until the DOJ starts prosecuting those in congress who are not upholding their oath of office, this means nothing.
Your President just signed an executive order allowing for medical use of marajuana/thc/cbd. I come from a country that has fully legalized marajuana use and all the associated societal problems that come with it…However, this right here is how it started. Good luck.
This sounds great but Trumps own admin (DOJ, FBI, CIA) have made it clear it is only EYE CANDY. I believe Trumps wants it to be real but until he actually gives us UNCORRUPTED and HONEST government actors, it is just smoke and mirrors.
Gaslighting us about Bondi, Blanche, Patel, RATcliff and others we KNOW are either corrupt or just worthless make it laughable.
The Deep State will fight the return of accountability all the way to the halls of Congress and the White House.
"Consent of the governed"… Who among the people gave our members of congress and the presidents "consent" to open the borders and to import boatloads of people from third world countries to American cities and neighborhoods? Who among them asked the people if that was okay?
We must demand to be consulted en masse, in advance of any such decisions or acts. That "consent" must also be specifically codified.
Why is Trump shaking hands with a younger Emperor Deniro?
Why does the guy shaking President Trump's hand look like Robert De Niro?
This is all well and good but so long as there's not even any mention of God it's worthless & useless [James 2:14-20 2021 Legacy Standard Bible What use is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? 17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead by itself. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith; and I have works. Show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” 19 You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. 20 But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?], something our vastly greater Founders knew and understood and warned against.
Imho, this is an interesting idea, but a Tribune of the Plebs would need to be someone of strong and resolute character, in the mold of Gaius Ateius Capito.
Works, for me. We, need all the help we can get to keep these corrupt fools in check! Although, this was first the job of the press. To, keep government in check, and to inform the public! They, haven't even come close to doing that job, in at least the past 10 years or so.
Just more talk, watch.
Gee, I wonder what could go wrong with this? Isn't this what "fair" elections are for?
Great.
Another cataloguer of crimes and the criminals who commit them, just to let us know that they will never be prosecuted.
