Yes I formed a political party. I did not create it in the sense of setting up a vehicle for running candidates but rather so people could decide if they like the party platform and then contact companies that give money to conservative members of the House and Senate and pressure them to get the legislation passed or the accumulation of people who call them and tell them they won't buy from them will cause them to capitulate to our demands or lose money.
We call this voting with our dollars.
Look how long it has taken to increase the minimum wage. Over 9 years and it will get raised to a miniscule $7.50 an hour and it will take 2 years from 2007 to reach that level. Why do people particpate in political activity that takes 9 years to get done when you can "fine" the companies that support conservative politicians and if enough people join in this activity it can get done within months and not only that, you get to the root of the control mainly those companies that give money to politicians. Follow the money. Many people say we already boycott companies that give to conservative politicians. THAT DOES NOT DO ENOUGH. You have to flood their telephones and demand that they get their CEO to get the GOP to cooperate to get legislation get passed or the company will lose money.
We need to band together and vote with our dollars. It took around 8 months for South Dakota people to overturn the abortion ban. Louisiana still has their abortion ban and it has not gotten overturned as far as I can tell.
If you want to get progressive legislation done fast you have to hit conservative supporters and donors in their accounts receivables.
To look at my platform, go to
http://www.dmocrats.org and send those emails to those conservative supporters. Once you have done this it makes you a member of my political party.
We need a $10 an hour minimum wage. We need a prescription drug benefit covering 80 percent of medication IN MEDICARE. We need vote by mail with paper ballots counted by civil servants. We need other progressive legislation, and we need to prevent the Republicans from using the filibuster and the veto. How do you do this? Threaten their supporters with your NON Support of their products.
NARAL can't do this and other 501 C 3 organizations cannot do this. Since I charge no dues and to do this you don't have to spend any money you can do this ad hoc and not have to register as a lobbying organization.
Go forth and pressure conservatives in both parties today.
Thank you for reading this.
