This is the fight back against the unaccountable AI build out.

Here is where America First Patriots get our voices heard. We are taking the fight from our communities to Big Tech’s backyard. They can’t ignore us anymore.

See our Data Center policy

We are calling for:

  1. Protect our wallets, our hometowns and our way of life

  2. End the NDAs, the shell companies and the backroom deals

  3. Ensure that AI that threatens our liberty and security is never built

We have fought back with protests across America in July. Now, our movement comes together to force Big Tech to hear the voices of conservatives across America.

Our nation is not for sale.

Our liberty is not for sale.

Our security is not for sale.

Join the Revolt!

What data centers do to a community.

Secrecy

Project Accordion. Liames LLC. Project Tango. Codenames hide who’s at the table — and what they’ve been promised.

Energy

Ratepayers — that’s you — are footing the bill for an electricity demand boom you never voted for.

Water

Drinking water cools the servers. It evaporates, concentrating chemicals. Rates climb. Counties run dry.

Land Use

Classified as “light industrial.” Rural towns are transformed into five-mile construction sites. American heritage paved over.

Air Pollution

“Emergency” generators with no time limit. Chemicals structured to dodge protections. The fine print, weaponized.

Noise

Cooling and backup power run 24/7, often within the letter of the law. Local ordinances rarely apply.

National Security

AI data centers are becoming military targets. The people who live nearby will pay the price.

Where We Stand

AI data centers are ground zero for Big AI imposing on our lives. The unaccountable buildout of data centers, with no say from communities and significant local impacts, is an unacceptable infringement on our liberty. We do not support a national data center moratorium, or even state moratoria, but each community must be able to decide what sort of life they want for themselves, and whether or not to have a data center built in their community.

This fight is about more than just the local impacts. It’s about We the People standing up to Big AI. It’s about fighting back against the dangers to our security and liberty that current AI development is bringing — the risks to our families, to our values, to our jobs, and to our national security.

What dangers does AI pose?

Risks to Children’s Safety

AI girlfriends and boyfriends. AI used to create deepfake child pornography. Children manipulated by AI systems into taking their own lives.

Mass Surveillance

All your data used to train AIs that can easily track and identify you. The end of privacy as we know it.

Domestic Terrorism

AI systems have been accused of talking people into — and aiding in — domestic terrorism and mass shootings. Students who would be alive if not for AI.

Replacing Jobs

The business model is based on taking jobs. Even the AI CEOs themselves say they aim to wipe out huge numbers of jobs in the next few years.

Threatening Our Values

AI integrated into schools, teaching our children to obey the values of AI companies, not their parents’ values.

National Security Risks

Hacking critical infrastructure. Using AI as weapons of war. This is already happening. Soon, who knows what risks we’ll face.

Losing Control of AI Systems

Even the companies themselves don’t understand what they’re building. Safety teams can’t ensure that we won’t lose control of future AI systems entirely.

Catastrophic Risk

AI-enabled engineered pandemics. AI triggering an accidental nuclear strike. Or, much worse, losing control of superintelligent AI.

America First. Communities First. Humans First. Always.
