With the whole primary thing happening instead of an outright recall vote, we are moving this project up to August, so we are there for the actual recall vote and not the primaries. I realize this political chess game is going to be played out to the last pieces standing, but it irks me that we have to act according to the Wisconsin Republican Party's Machiavellian machinations, instead of a straightforward, honest election.
But, that is certainly something we have learned to expect, when they started losing so much of their existing support because of their epic overreach, republicans all across the country doubled down and denied the public its due, and started using procedural gymnastics instead of honest lawmaking to promote their Koch Machine agenda.
Thanks to everyone who has signed on thus far, and we will keep you posted..
SAVE OUR NATION!
In the wake of the historic and pernicious over reaching by Republican politicians at both state and federal levels, who won election in 2010 by making promises they never intended to keep, we are forming a political action committee called the Save Our Nation PAC, or SONPAC for short.
SONPAC is committed to reversing the many draconian laws that have been passed already by these deceptive politicians, and to preventing further encroachment of this pernicious regressive political agenda on our local, state and national governments.
We are particularly dedicated to reversing the Citizens United sell-out that put our entire electoral system on the auction block. That is at the very core of our community creed.
We invite everyone who believes in future progress and fair government by fair election, to join our organization and help us confront and resist and reverse this political undertow.
Our prime directive is to create public AND virtual events as venues for progressive causes. It is the COMBINATION of these two networking mediums that brought so many people to Madison to protest the Walker Republicans' over reach, and either would have been less without the other. We are committed to developing this model, live events and virtual networking, working together for progressives.
Most Citizens United era PACS tend to focus on advertising campaigns, however, our main focus will be to create and organize EVENTS, and do some online networking and advertising to promote those events. While we will certainly endorse many progressive candidates, if we provide any sort of direct or indirect support, it will be to organize gatherings where they can give their stump speech and network that information around the internet.
We intend to create a marriage of boots-on-the-ground activism coordinated with a virtual campaign that uses contemporary media to get people together in real world venues, events where candidates and causes can promote their campaigns face-to-face.
We will soon be registering as a membership-based non-profit PAC, and our FEC filing information will be available to all active members.
It is time for all good people to come to the aid of their country, and help Save Our Nation from those who would drive us backwards, into a political dark ages, where the middle class has all but disappeared, and only the rich and the poor remain.
Constitutional Amendment Proposed to Overturn Citizens United
SPECIAL NOTICE;
Congressman Dan Boren, a Democrat representing Oklahoma's 2nd District, has crafted a bill that would create a constitutional amendment that requires all campaign contributions to originate from the state or district the candidate is running in, and from the citizens who can actually cast a vote in that election.
Here's the link to Boren's website, and the page they built to introduce this far-reaching, democracy-saving amendment. Click the link, or paste this into your browser to get there. We advise EVERYONE who believes in clean elections to support this bill, especially our congressional members.
Please pass this link around to all your friends and online associates, this is the beginning of the end for special interest money controlling our elections.
