Political Action 2018

There are too many people sitting on the sidelines, hoping that things change, or thinking the system is broken (which it is) and there is nothing to do about it. If you are not in the game, you can win or you have no say.

I was involved in the last election cycle as a Bernie Delegate. What I saw was a cross section of people, from every age range, learning that if they participated they could make a change. Some thought they could make a change that year against a system that was not ready for two candidates, but a majority saw that change sometimes needs a little more time. However you have to put in the time and effort. Sadly people are inherently lazy but if they have strong leaders, they will rally around a cause that is important to them.

We will be researching and providing some insight and suggestions on where you can join the fight to elect responsible people who will fight for the issues that you feel should be addressed.  Take some time to explore, and research yourself, but we will take a front seat and delve into each and share the stories of some of these inspired candidates.  We will be adding new ways you can get involved with all of the options and ways to can be involved. Remember if you are not in the Game, you can’t win.

Our Revolution

Bernie Sanders built up a strong wave and has put together a coalition now run by Nina Turner, He continues the fight, check out the site and see if you have the time or money to help. Sometimes the best resource is your time and energy to volunteer.

There are others that are joining the fight, what is important, is that you try and get involved. Especially in your local election where you have the most sway. Helping other states is a little more difficult and more work, but if you have the time and energy again your help is always appreciated.

Brand New Congress

Brand New Congress originated in April of 2016 with the idea of running republicans, democrats and independents on one national unified slate.  They began mass mobilizing volunteers in the summer of 2016 and recruiting started in the fall of 2016.  They now have several candidates’, some of their stories to follow.

Justice Democrats

https://www.justicedemocrats.com/

Why “Democrats”?    Why not just start a new party?

They acknowledge that a two party system is the way our system works.  And third party candidates have never broken through the system.  They want our democracy to work for Americans again as soon as possible. They believe the best way to do this is by working to change the Democratic Party from the inside out. Once Justice Democrats take power, they hope to implement electoral reform like ranked choice voting so third parties can have more power in our democracy.  All candidates are required to pledge not to take any corporate PAC or corporate lobbyist money. Additionally, they will be progressive candidates who generally agree with the Justice Democrats platform.
