The democrats and republicans no longer represent us to the government but the government to us. Their main concern is seeing that they stay in office to draw the big paycheck, receive exceptional health care, have a bloated retirement program, exert immoral control over the country and the people, feed their power hungry egos and push their extreme ideologies (whether left or right). To do this they must pay homage to the party line. Do as we (the party not the people) say or suffer the consequences. Lose your seat at the beggars table!
The perfect example is the manner in which the spiteful democratic party did not like Sen Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) because of his support of the war against Extreme Muslim Jihadist who had taken over 3,000 innocent American civilian lives and destroyed countless other lives and futures. They funded and supported a millionaire who would follow the party rhetoric. Sen. Lieberman chose to run as an independent and he won. Why he chose to caucus with those who dumped him is still a mystery.
We have allowed presidents to by-pass the checks and balances of the executive, legislative and judicial system by letting them appoint Special Advisers to the President (CZARS).
The fastest and easiest way for the citizens of America to take control is by forming an third option.
Elections and those chosen as candidates provide Americans with the opportunity to determine how we, and America can best be served! Today we are force fed not served.
Our republican form of government gives the winner all of the power and should they chose to represent their personal ideologies or those of who bought them last instead of the people who elected them, we live with that for 2 to 6 years.
The Democrat power brokers and elitist party leaders have shown their contempt and fear of even their own party members on two occasions. In 19 84 they began to realize that the "little people" acting as convention delegates were not always following party lines and wishes. The powers that be (the more equals) threw in the "Super Delegates" (548) party loyalists and slaves amounting to 14% of the vote which the party bosses could control. Then realizing there were still to many independent thinkers in the party, in 2000 they moved that number of "Supers" to 800 nearly 20% under control or beholding to the party. This action pretty much shut down any questioning of the party ideology and platform.
All to often in the past third or fourth parties have been so one issue focused (Animal Rights, Green Party, Save the Ring tailed Bandicoot Party, etc) and their candidates are those who one would not invite to dinner let alone want as president. These groups believe that by running some one for president they are making a statement. Fools all!
By finding serious, worthy, men and women who love and respect the Constitution and wish to preserve it and its God given Rights for Americans a third option can restore America and save our future.
One should remember that nearly 40% of the electorate does not identify with either of the current parties. These people still seem to be able to think for themselves. Do they need somewhere that they can be heard and fairly represented? I think so.
We should not go out and find people to run within the existing party system. We need a clean sweep, a third option.
If a third option were to look at one position of representative in each of the following states: Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Georgia, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina and Louisiana: you could possibly have 16 representatives even with half that number they would be a force with which to be reckoned. If you concentrated on three or four states in which to run respectable and viable senatorial candidates and got two or three, you could cause a serious imbalance in the current corrupt congressional family.
The problem would be with organization and funding. Third party groups usually appear as radical, unwashed, undereducated and certainly underfunded lost souls. Organizational skills, political understanding with a calm but passionate love for freedom, liberty, America, Americans and the divinely inspired Rights of Constitution should be paramount in beginning such a program.
Funding poses even a greater problem. Not everyone has a personal fortune to put into such an
endeavor as Ross Perot. This funny little man from Texas ran for president and funded his own campaign. He had adequate resources and captured 19% of the popular vote.
The cost of running a campaign for congress could run between 2 an $3,000,000.00, the senate is even more corrupt and foreboding at 6 to $10,000,000.00. This is not for the weak, fearful or coward. However, if the message can be heard and embraced by only 5 million people each willing to give $20.00 you could run 18 congressional candidates and four senatorial. Perhaps you need only reach 2 million willing to give $50.00 to achieve the same goal.
Then we must look at the seed money. How do we get the message out? The toughest part?
Never start underfunded!
