The American Empowerment Package (AEP)
A National Reform Initiative Created by Expose and Reform Now (EARN)
The American Empowerment Package (AEP) is a comprehensive, multi-bill reform initiative designed to strengthen protections for children, families, survivors, elders, caregivers, service dog handlers, and individuals navigating workplaces, healthcare systems, housing, courts, and digital environments.
Developed by Cagney Gaudiz, Founder & CEO of Expose and Reform Now (EARN), the AEP establishes trauma-informed standards, safety protocols, oversight systems, and accountability measures across the United States.
The AEP is submitted as a unified federal legislative package and is intended to guide both Congressional adoption and state-level implementation.
This page represents both the public overview and the official Congressional cover letter to accompany the full legislative packet.
OFFICIAL SUBMISSION LETTER TO CONGRESS
To the Members of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives:
I respectfully submit the American Empowerment Package (AEP) — a five-act federal legislative reform package developed to address systemic failures that have repeatedly harmed children, survivors, elders, caregivers, disabled individuals, tenants, workers, consumers, and the public at large.
The AEP proposes nationally consistent, trauma-informed standards that prevent abuse, strengthen oversight, close accountability gaps, and ensure that all individuals living in the United States can seek safety, justice, healthcare, due process, and economic stability without fear of discrimination, retaliation, or systemic neglect.
These Acts were drafted with the intent to:
- enhance national safety
- modernize institutional protections
- establish transparent legal oversight
- ensure digital privacy
- strengthen child welfare and school safety
- protect service dog handlers
- protect elders and caregivers
- elevate survivor-centered policy
- support economic mobility
- reduce systemic trauma across generations
The attached Acts — CPEA, TIEA, SDEA, ECEA, and LEA — are respectfully submitted for Congressional review and advancement.
With urgency, integrity, and full accountability,
Cagney Gaudiz
Founder & CEO

THE FIVE ACTS OF THE AEP
The American Empowerment Package contains five full federal bills, drafted in full legislative format:
1. Child Protection and Empowerment Act (CPEA)
Strengthens child safety through trauma-informed educational systems, mandatory school support staff, behavioral early intervention, classroom safety standards, community-based prevention, and clear accountability for institutional failure.
2. Trauma-Informed Empowerment Act (TIEA)
Creates federal shelter standards, trauma-trained staff, guaranteed access to documentation and legal support, safety infrastructure, housing protections, and due-process safeguards for individuals escaping family violence or systemic abuse.
3. Service Dog Empowerment Act (SDEA)
Establishes federal certification and ID standards for service dogs, ensures Medicaid/insurance coverage, prevents fraud, protects handlers, and upholds working-animal dignity with nationally recognized temperament testing and recertification every three years.
4. Elder & Caregiver Empowerment Act (ECEA)
Mandates cameras (excluding bathrooms) in long-term care facilities, creates caregiver support systems, mental health evaluations, liability protections, oversight boards, and safety protocols for medical transport and in-home care.
5. Life Empowerment Act (LEA)
A comprehensive federal reform bill addressing:
- workplace rights
- housing safety
- healthcare protections
- digital privacy
- legal system accountability
- consumer protection
- camera and safety infrastructure
- school safety protocols
- statewide ombudsman offices
- federal oversight and enforcement
The LEA is the backbone of the AEP and ties all protections together.
WHY THE AEP IS NECESSARY
Across the United States, individuals encounter:
- discriminatory workplaces
- unsafe housing conditions
- abusive or coercive healthcare interactions
- unmonitored long-term care facilities
- unaccountable courts
- predatory businesses
- digital harassment, doxxing, and impersonation
- inadequate school safety standards
- lack of trauma-informed institutional practice
- repeated government system failures
The AEP addresses these failures with:
- national consistency
- enforcement mechanisms
- trauma-informed standards
- civil and criminal penalties
- transparent oversight
- survivor-centered reform
The AEP is a generational reform effort to protect all Americans.
