What can I do?

You can do quite a lot.

1. Call, e-mail, text message or write each of your friends and relatives. Ask them if they are tired of politics as usual and would like to shrink special interest influence. Encourage them to come to this web site to find out how.


2. Run for office. Being in an elected position of government gives you an opportunity to promote change. If you win based on the ideas outlined in this web site, you will be stronger against the influence of special interests. Your voters will have voted for the principles and policies you promoted. Go implement them.


3. Support a candidate. If you are not the kind of person who wants to speak to others or represent them, find someone that you can support. Print posters from their web site to display on your lawn. Print bumper stickers for your car. Participate in local meetings with or about the candidate, or host a meeting. Encourage your friends and family to support the candidate too.


4. Stop giving money or slowly reduce your contributions. When you give money to candidates and causes you support the status quo. It can be difficult to stop giving money when so many others continue to give money. You might ask "The system will not change overnight, so won't that just give the special interests even more clout?" You have a good point. However, there will be a time when this is a critical piece of successful reform. You will have to decide for yourself on which issues and at what time you are comfortable that the system is changing. We encourage you to make the change sooner rather than later. To win the war, you often must be willing to lose a few battles along the way.


5. Add links to this site directed to other web sites that are working to improve the status quo. Political change can come only after our community reaches a critical mass. So it was with the right for women to vote. So it was with the civil rights movement. So it will be for true political reform. The more widely our message is spread to individuals of like mind, the closer our community will get to that critical mass.


6. Are you a step ahead of us? If you have already defined a non-judgmental system of identifying principles in an hierarchical way that permits identifying principles which are mutually exclusive, please contact us.
