v2.4 · Build 15 — Ninety-Five Theses, One Declaration
Constitution v2.0 is open: The Constitution v2.0 section, the reason ReDrafting America exists, now has its first document. Everything else begins here.
The Declaration: “A Declaration for the Rebirth of a Nation” is published in full, in the spirit of July 4, 1776. It sets out why a people may renew a government that has drifted from its purposes, the facts offered in support, and a pledge to pursue renewal by peaceful and lawful means.
Finding it: Read it from the Constitution v2.0 menu, from the section’s overview page, or from the Site Map. The Preamble, Articles, Explainers, Comparison and Version History follow as they are ready.
Easier to tap: Links and buttons across the site now meet the 24-pixel minimum target size in the WCAG 2.2 accessibility standard. That covers breadcrumbs, contents lists, “back to” links, card links, release links and the search button.
Easier to read: The smallest labels on the site, including status tags and captions, are now larger, and no label is smaller than 0.7 rem. Long table entries in the governance documents no longer split ordinary words across lines.
Fits on a phone: The Bluesky and Mastodon handles on the Social Media page now wrap cleanly at a sensible point instead of overflowing.

v2.3 · Build 14 — SEO Far, So Good
Mission: The homepage search and sharing descriptions now carry ReDrafting America’s complete Primary Mission, so people and search systems see the same full statement.
Search results: All 77 public pages now have one approved title and description, written from what each page actually says, so search results read the same everywhere.
Shared links: Every page now shares with a complete preview: the ReDrafting America emblem at 1200 × 630 with descriptive alt text, the site name and the page language.
Titles: Page titles follow one convention: an em dash joins a page to its parent document or section, and a pipe separates the title from “ReDrafting America”.
Organization: Search systems are told plainly who ReDrafting America is: a nonprofit with its legal name, logo, founding date of July 4, 2024, contact details and 12 official profiles, with the founder linked to the Leadership page.
Constitution v2.0: Constitution v2.0 is now identified to search systems as a distinct work, known as “Cv2”, created and published by ReDrafting America.
Governance documents: Every Bylaws and Articles page is marked as a published article of its document, credited to the founder and dated July 4, 2026.
Drafting Room: Every paper and note is marked as an article, credited to the founder and tagged with its section and subjects.
Addresses: Every page’s share address matches its canonical address and its sitemap entry exactly, and the sitemap now lists Technology Stack and Version History, for 77 pages in all.

v2.2 · Build 13 — Open Books
Financials: A new Financials page under Get Involved sets out how RDA plans to pay for its work: the launch budget, three funded stages, pay limits and safeguards, with the full budget deck to download.
National Seal: The Mission page now shows the new Ex Uno Floremus seal. Select it to see it full size, with a link to the 4K version.
Papers and Notes: The Drafting Room now says plainly what to expect: Papers are RDA’s formal voice and positions, while Drafting Notes are the informal, personal story of how the work gets done and never official positions.
Governance: Every Eternity Clause Article in the Bylaws and the Articles of Incorporation now opens with a highlighted notice, a cream band with a gold bar, so the protected Articles stand out as they do in the official documents.
Donations: Visitors can explore how support builds a better system, review the public financial plan and donor safeguards, and see clearly that giving is not open yet.
Get Involved: The Get Involved page now focuses on active ways to take part; the unfinished Partnerships placeholder is no longer shown. The Donate and Financials pages now show their place in the site, making it easier for visitors to navigate back to the rest of Get Involved.

v2.1 · Build 12 — Cache Me If You Can

v2.0 · Build 11 — By the Book
Governance: The complete Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation are now readable online, Article by Article, with a compact contents list and an introduction for each Article. Search covers every heading and word of each document, and every Article has an outline of its sections, a link you can copy to share any provision, and previous and next navigation. Each document offers its official PDF to download, with page count and file size, and shows its edition details. Diagrams open in a larger viewer with text transcripts, and everything works on phones, tablets and desktops. Pennsylvania has accepted the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws are published, and RDA has applied for 501(c)(3) status, with approval expected before the end of 2026.
Drafting Room: A new Drafting Note, “To Help Rewrite a Country, We Had to Rewrite Ourselves First,” tells the story of rewriting RDA’s own Articles and Bylaws, and why a country’s second draft takes the same patience.

Transcripts: Every graphic’s text transcript now carries a short search description.
Browser tabs: Browser tabs and bookmarks now show each page’s full title instead of the breadcrumb trail; moving between Bylaws articles still names the tab after each article.

Website insights: Added Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the website, with search content masked.
Website measurement: Added Google Analytics for traffic and engagement alongside Microsoft Clarity, with search and form collection disabled, and documented the website measurement and search tools.

Cultural Influences: Two new clips, from Don’t Look Up and Mr. Robot, and every clip can now be searched for and linked to directly.
