What People Are Willing To Do
The political contribution vouchers and the campaign finance reform plan are both simple things that people can do for themselves, without government assistance. They require no law changes so they can be implemented as soon as people find out about them. Along with separate voting they are something many people will be willing to do. I previously listed what people are not willing to do. I believe at least 6 % of the people would be willing to write a small check, vote, send out a few political contribution vouchers and encourage a few friends to do the same if they thought it would make change possible. Even one tenth of the 6 % of the people contributing 100 dollars would be enough to finance the constitutional challenge and get the Hundred Dollar Party or another third party on the road to viability. Separate voting will make it possible to finance the beginning of the Hundred Dollar Party with contributions only from individuals in the amount of 100 dollars or less. This will create at least one party that represents the interests of average citizens and will be controlled by average citizens because it will be financed by average citizens. The limit may be raised in the future when we are ready to run candidates. For example, it may be 200 dollars for a Senate race and 500 dollars for President or Governor. That will be up to the members of the party at that time. Together these simple tools allow the Hundred Dollar Party to out- conservative the alleged Conservatives in the Republican Party because unlike the Republican Party, the Hundred Dollar Party will not accept any government money. The Hundred Dollar Party also out- liberals the Liberals in the Democratic Party because instead of giving the government the power to help us because we allegedly can't help ourselves, the Hundred Dollar Party gives the power to the citizens so we can help ourselves. I consider myself a Conserberal, trying to achieve the Liberal goal of government for the people, through the Conservative means of government by the people. Then we will be able to have a government of the people ( I've heard something like that somewhere before ).
