Ya'at'eeh Reddit. My name is Mark Charles. I'm a dual citizen of the United States and the Navajo Nation, and I am running as an Independent candidate for the office of President of the United States. There is a history of our country that we have never learned how to talk about. Our Declaration of Independence begins by declaring that "All men are created equal" but a mere thirty lines later, refers to the Native Nations of Turtle Island (North America) as 'merciless Indian savages'. Our Constitution, which begins with the inclusive sounding term 'We the People', just a few lines later, in Article I, Section II, never mentions women, specifically excludes Native peoples, and counts Africans as three-fifths human. As recently as 2005, the United States Supreme Court references the dehumanizing Doctrine of Discovery and concludes that Native Nations cannot have sovereignty over our traditional lands. Throughout our history and according to our foundations, 'We the People' has NEVER meant All the People.

My vision is to change that. This campaign is about building a nation where, for the very first time, 'We the People' truly means #AllThePeople.

In my announcement video, which I encourage you to watch (YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_livxZNCQeU), I framed this campaign as an 18 month dialogue. An ongoing conversation about who we are as a nation, and where we are going. I know this process will not be easy, but I am confident it will lead us to a better place.

I am excited about this Reddit AMA, which will take place on Tuesday July 23 at noon Eastern Time. I invite your questions about me, my journey and this campaign.

Ahéhee' my relatives (thank you),

Mark Charles
