Vision
Responsive Government and Competitive Races
We seek to create a more responsive government with races where candidates have to compete.
Congressional Makeup
Let real people with real world and real economy experience create the policies. Less lawyers and politicians, more real world doers.
Policy Formation
Comparing party-driven vs people-driven policy formation.
Towards a More Efficient Legislative Process
Some ideas from industry and the IT world to help Congress move things along.

The Ultimate Campaign Finance Reform?
Running our campaigns based on “Merit Over Money” and winning will be the ultimate tool for campaign finance reform. Using too much money will be a liability.
Populist Movement
Without a significant, well-funded base for voter turnout, we must depend on our own can-do attitude and efforts.
Why We Don’t Pay for Signatures
Our goal is to diminish the influence of money in politics and promote political action by the people.
Ballot Petitions and Independent Candidates
Independent candidates are one way to break the stranglehold of major parties on America’s political system. Ballot petitions are the way to get independents on the ballots.

Candidates We Are Supporting
Here is a list of candidates we are supporting who pledge to work in a bipartisan or multipartisan manner to solve problems and deliver on those solutions.
What Are the Traits of Our Ideal Candidates?
What we seek more than anything is a group of individuals performing in a results-oriented culture of teamwork to deliver solutions.
Where Do You Stand?
While we prefer people who are right of center on fiscal matters, the main driver is that any candidate represents his or her district faithfully for all constituents.
Candidate Application Form
If you believe you have the right character and temperament, sign onto our principles, and pledge not to vote for Biden or Trump in a Contingent Election, we welcome you to join our vetting process.
