Sovereignty Above All

At its core, sovereignty is about independence, freedom, and the ability to chart our own course. It’s about America’s right to make decisions for itself—without interference, coercion, or dependence on foreign powers or global institutions that don’t have our best interests at heart. Sovereignty isn’t just a political principle; it’s a moral imperative, and it lies at the very heart of what makes America a beacon of freedom and self-determination.

Today, that sovereignty is under attack. From unelected international bureaucracies trying to dictate policies to global economic entanglements that put America at a disadvantage, we face constant pressure to compromise our independence for the sake of “global cooperation.” While partnerships and alliances can be valuable, they should never come at the cost of our ability to act in the best interests of the American people.

Sovereignty Above All means protecting America’s freedom to decide—whether it’s about securing our borders, safeguarding our industries, or making sure our laws reflect the will of our citizens, not the demands of outsiders. It’s about ensuring that American workers, families, and communities aren’t sacrificed on the altar of globalist agendas or corporate greed. It’s about refusing to outsource our decision-making power to international organizations that don’t answer to the American people.

But sovereignty isn’t just a political issue—it’s deeply personal. It’s about ensuring that Americans have control over their own lives, communities, and destinies. It’s about the dignity of self-governance and the principle that we know what’s best for our country—not elites in Davos, Beijing, or Brussels.

At the Center for Realpolitik and American Values, we act on this conviction by advocating for policies that prioritize America’s independence and security. We support initiatives to strengthen domestic manufacturing, reclaim control over vital supply chains, and limit the influence of foreign powers on our economy, education system, and national security. We push for a foreign policy that puts America’s interests first—not endless wars or entanglements that bleed our resources dry.

Ultimately, Sovereignty Above All is about preserving the promise of America: a nation that’s free, strong, and self-reliant. Because when America stands sovereign, we stand united, capable, and ready to face any challenge. And that’s not just a principle—it’s a responsibility.
