Americans Elect

My thoughts have begun to gel regarding Americans Elect.  If you read my posts you know my reservations about "Pure" democracy.

That being said, my research and reading about the organization in their rules and by-laws comforts my reservations substantially.  Americans Elect is NOT a third or fourth party.  Americans Elect is a PROCESS.

That in and of itself is not enough to allay my reservations, however.  Reading through ALL of the material they make available, I have concluded that there are enough process requirements and safe guards to make the system meaningful and not cluttered with nonsense candidates.

I'm now willing to suggest to you that you take the time to look over the site and the information they make available and consider joining the group.

I still maintain that voting for president is the least important vote you cast and that voting for a city council candidate, a state representative or state senator, or a federal representative or senator are much more important and meaningful.

And I still maintain that I/we are responsible for the condition of our government today; NOT our parents generation, NOT the generation behind us but US.  We are the group that has elected or allowed to be elected the people whom we rate below used car salesmen  as trustworthy and reliable.

SO TAKE SOME ACTION TO FIX THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OF SENDING  EMAILS DESCRIBING THE PROBLEM OR RECOMMENDING RIDICULOUS SOLUTIONS WE CAN'T MAKE HAPPEN.

And please remember, this blog is just my HUMBLE OPINION, albeit, very LOUD AND STRIDENT.
