Welcome to Our House
This is Our House's educational and civic action center. Education elements address the January 6th Insurrection. Civic actions focus on engaging Americans and offering license plates that honor those that protected the Capitol during the Insurrection.
This non-partisan site offers interesting and in-depth content on motives, human behavior, and other factors that led to the Insurrection. Deeply understanding this subject is as important today as it was when, under overcast January skies and temperatures hovering around 40 degrees, the attack on our Capitol occurred.
Why?
Two critical reasons make the Insurrection a topic that American's must address. First, it was the initial overt sign that Donald Trump and the majority of the Republican Congress chose to ignore their Constitutional Oaths. Their actions showed they preferred annointing the President Plenary Authority.
Plenary Authority is a dangerous path. Citizens of countries that take this route lose freedom. You, as a citizen, are the first and last line of our democracy. We must care enough about our rights and our country to get involved. We must take individual and community actions to restore and maintain our democracy.
Second, restoring the balance of power our Constitution and our institutions were founded on requires engaged citizens. Educated and alert citizens are better able to defend our Constitution and institutions from foreign and domestic threats.
Individual and Community Action
Our House is playing a significant role in giving Americans their voice back and restoring the truth.
We give you a meaningful and effective way to speak up for our country.
Commemorative license plates are a method of free speech. What is more grassroots and
all‑American than bumper stickers and special commemorative license plates? Through them, vehicle owners support schools, recognize veterans, remember 9/11, and other
causes. Special plates bring awareness through a glance of the eye. They
are knee‑high American free speech.
Our House license plate designs honor those that defended the Capitol during the attack. And they remind us that we all have an important role to play if we are to remain the land of the free.
Our House is working with state legislators to get designs approved. As support grows, plates will roll out to states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories that allow them. The only way to obtain a plate is to express interest. Visit our Get Plated page and help make plates available in your state.
Funding from license plate sales develop educational materials.
Education
Our House provides interactive educational programs
tailored to many ages. Mobile displays bring the story of Our House to schools, libraries, and adult communities across the country and someday into people’s homes through television.
The January 6, 2021 attack is presented alongside the two other historic forceful attempts against Our House in Washington, D.C. — the Capitol.
Our House invites visitors to compare and see the the commonality of motives and methods that recur each time people attempt to undermine America and her democracy by attacking our Capitol.
You'll see many similarities. The largest difference- only the Insurrection was an act of domestic terrorism aimed at establishing Plenary Authority.
1814 — British forces burned the Capitol as retribution
during the War of 1812.
2001 — Commercial airliners were turned into weapons,
devastating three of four intended targets.
2021 — Undermining confidence in elections led to a riot
aimed at overturning the vote and establishing Plenary Authority.
