U.S. elections - a possible solution?

[Ron Mauer Sr]

Here is an interesting video that is so refreshing that it might work.

No amount of bribe money from corrupt corporations could stop this remedy if enough people followed through. Vote for the strongest challenger, never the incumbent. That creates automatic term limits. Here is how it works:

The idea is just perverse enough to tickle my funny bone!!!!!! Thank you!

[joeecho]

I was skeptical going into this video but that changed halfway through. And you know, this might very well make a positive change.

I'd like to see a video with this idea go viral....maybe a catchy song/ jingle or such to help people remember come November.

This is Lieutenant Morrisseau's second installment in his rebellion -- to vote out the incumbents --.
Tuesday November 4th is Election Day. On that day Occupy the Voting Booth and vote the incumbents out.
While we still can - use a corrupt voting system against itself. Flash mob the voting booths and vote for the most likely opposing candidate be he/she a Democrat or a Republican.
I will let Lieutenant Morrissaeu explain it above. Join his voting rebellion now. Don't let you nickers get in a twist when he says "Goddamn."

Watch this very raw video now and Occupy the Voting Booths on November 4th.

I assume this is the message?

For some reason, either Google, You Tube, Security Services, blah blah do not want us to see this video.
I am unable to play this video at all, yet allows me to watch other guff.

My interpretation is this is extremely valuable information and respectfully agree with others that this is the modus operandi of our intent at election time BOTH sides of the channel.

Flash mob the voting booths and vote for the most likely opposing candidate

Once the hands are CHOPPED OFF of EVERY single PUPPET MASTER and ALL POLITICAL LOBBYING BY $ over ruling what is best for US!!! THEN... Maybe my faith and trust will be restored in the system.

Until that EVENT OCCURS I am not hopeful in the least for NOVEMBER 2014 OR NOVEMBER 2016!

You can send in the cleanest most non-corrupt person to serve and they will SOON find out the true structure of how the power structure works and where they are down on the "Totem Pole"... It has happened many times, any that tried to fight it died.

Until the "Secret Shadow Governments" (AKA Break Away Civilization's and their "Technologies" and deeply guarded DARK SECRETS) are brought into the Sun Light and power it given to the people in a Constitutional Government then things will always be "AS USUAL" and will only change as needed for the "Project to Continue".

Meanwhile many of us (Not "Awake and Aware" or in the process) scurry around holding up our L vs R or "What Ever Engineered Divisive ISSUE" sign and stand in line to vote and for the most part it is all for nothing... even though some of the best and bravest of us have died for those rights. This occurs in a few cycles and before you know it 50 years has passed and (Per the Engineering) nothing has occurred accept Economic Concerns, War, "Natural Disasters", More War (Every one if studied beginning with false flags and MSM lies... and mass death and suffering on the planet (Most of which especially Americans are sheltered from the true depth by the MSM/Control Mechanisms).

So there is my lengthy and "Glass is half empty" answer to the OP's question... All of which is IMHO and Very Sad Experience.

Nahhhhhh. Doesn't work. I've been telling my friends that very same thing for over 20 years. I've been saying to simply vote for anyone but whoever is presently in office. (And that includes city, state, and all federal elections). But it doesn't work. I no longer vote at all. As Mr. Goode TXSG, says above, one set of crooks gets voted out, a new set of crooks gets voted in. Why? Because it's the system itself that's crooked.
At approximately the 4:00 mark in the video above, the one guy says he wants to concentrate on the congress because congress has the power. Vote all the congress people out, and vote in an entirely new set of congress people, right? Do this every election. Okay, so now you've voted out the old, and you've brought in the new. Now what? Well, you get more of the same. Why? Power. Power is the key word in all of this.

Folks, get your heads out of your ass!! I underlined that phrase above, and I'll state it again. Congress has the power. In fact, to one extent or another, anybody who gets voted into office, at any level, (city, state, federal), has been given the power, by you the voting public, to run your lives. If you vote at all, then you have voluntarily given up your power to "them", to run your lives.

The entire system of having money is corrupt. The entire system of voting is corrupt. Can't you see that? Money is about control. It always has been from the very beginning. Those who have the most, can use their money to control the rest. This crap about voting being a privilege is false. As George Carlin mentioned so well, voting is nothing more than an illusion to make you think you have a say. You don't.

So how do we the people change the game? We DON'T vote. It would take every one of us, at every election, at every level, to NOT VOTE. Don't vote. Get it? Don't vote anybody into office. Then we all have to stand united, against every level of government, and in a united voice tell them all to GET OUT!! WE, THE PEOPLE DID NOT VOTE YOU INTO OFFICE. WE DID NOT GIVE YOU THE POWER TO RUN OUR LIVES. WE DO NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO STEAL OUR MONEY SO YOU CAN LIVE IN BIG HOUSES WITH MEDICAL AND RETIREMENT BENEFITS WHILE WE THE PEOPLE HAVE NOTHING. WE DIDN'T VOTE YOU INTO OFFICE. NOW GET OUT. The only way to bring the system down is to not vote. By voting, you have given up your power to someone else.

Of course, everybody will say that chaos will ensue, and yes, chaos will ensue. For a while. But we rebuild. We rebuild a system without money. Without barter. Without elections. Without a government. Scoff if you will. Call me crazy. Come up with all kinds of excuses why my idea won't work. But unless we the people are willing to tear down completely the system we have, then we will always be under somebody's rule.

OK, an interesting initiative, let’s see how this might work. First, let’s understand that this would only be a tiny first step in just one area; another might be taking rejected incumbents to court for what they have done. Second, let’s remember that tiny first steps are the beginning of slippery slopes. Third, let’s not forget that slippery slopes can be tilted in either direction. Finally, let’s say that, rather than despondent inactivity, whether of the naïve or the informed variety, this might just be an opportunity to do something, and possibly achieve something, one small step at a time.

What can go wrong with this scheme? It may never get off the ground to the point of making a significant impact on voting patterns. Then I would suggest that, now that the idea has been floated, it has got to be made to succeed, at least to that extent of making a significant impact on voting patterns. That in itself would be an initial success, and to fail to achieve that now would already be yet another failure. There seems to be no choice but to go for it.

What else can go wrong with this scheme? It may have no initial impact on the behaviour of congressmen. They will likely be groomed to fit in with the system if this has not happened already, but from Day One, they will know that they are not going to make a career of it. It may take a few terms to turn things around, so be it. The power of the existing system does not lie in numbers. If you keep skimming off the scum, you will eventually end up with something fairly clean.

What can go right with this scheme, apart from the main target of ultimately cleaning up the congress? Let’s compare the situation with a normal election of this type. With a two-party system, roughly half of the electorate feels disenfranchised because their candidate lost. And maybe half of the other half feels disenfranchised because their winning candidate is not listening to them. So, when the abstentions are factored in, it doesn’t take a huge swing to reach 94% dissatisfied. Abstention is not a viable option because people who express their dissatisfaction in this way are being sidetracked into a group that also includes the don’t knows and the don’t cares. 35% abstention changes nothing. 55% abstention changes nothing. Why? Because someone still gets in. 94% abstention might change something, but 94% dissatisfied will simply not translate into 94% abstention. How is anyone going to convince nearly everyone to do anything? It’s not going to happen. This video by just being practical - i.e. focusing on the 5-10% who can swing an election where necessary (in some places it won’t even be necessary) – has a realistic chance of getting something done.

There is an opportunity to federate all these people dissatisfied for different reasons. They can be formed into a popular nationwide constituency that can wield real influence. You only have to think of another situation where this method worked extremely well. The Al Qaida label was created to federate dissatisfied middle easterners. All of a sudden, every Tom Dick or Harry wanting to fire a gun or throw at bomb at someone or something over some local issue found themselves on a mission as part of a global crusade.

Strength in union works on two levels. In addition to a united people reinvigorated by imposing their collective will for once, you will have a congress united in the knowledge that none of them are there through their own merits or policies or their handlers’ influence, and that none of them are there to stay. This leaves us with an even chance of them producing a majority to push through the people’s agenda, if not this time then next time around.

The other thing to note is that every single bill, every single paragraph of every single bill that is passed counts double. It counts as a positive for the good things it multiplies all over the country; it counts again as a positive against the negative things that would have been multiplied all over the country by the nefarious legislation it is designed to replace. And it is doubly positive all over again through the positive dynamic it is bound to create and the negative dynamic it reverses.

These are the same exponential calculations that took us from the first tiny steps to the descent down the slippery slope and can take us back up again.

Wow, some fantastic non-mainstream ideas floated! It seems counterintuitive to NOT vote.

We are programmed to vote as in suggests we are contributing our effort on making something better. By not voting, it would seem, we are turning our backs on that process. But I am beginning to see it differently now....

I am beginning to view not voting as a form of voting. If voting is a message, so too is not voting a message to those that will hear.

"To those that have ears let them hear"

As a side question/ thought: Is it possible that our voting system has risen to a level of corruption that the voting numbers can be produced out of thin air (like the central bank and fiat money) and not reflect the true turn out of the election? In that case, wouldn't the whole thing be an illusion for the control of the populous? Could it all be a 'reality' show on TV with everyone voting playing a part?

*The veil lifts at the end of the show and the producer step out and says "You have all been puck'd!*

[Snoweagle]

No we are NOT programmed to vote!
We are programmed to work together in a Common Law jurisdiction of Natural Law.

ECONOMICS IS GENOCIDE This a fact born of thousands of years of history. Economics is the weapon of "the beam counter", the number experts and idle hands.

Politics is the means to maintain control. Regardless of denomination.

We would have a glorious plant if we had neither economics or politics.

We should return to self governing regional states based on Common Law and Natural Law.

Bury the Gods.

I've been saying this for a long time as well... but in reality, the real problem is the people... yep... for it to be that there is any consensus to vote an incumbent out... there are at least that many morons that take it the other way...and vote >in< the incumbent.(thanks to a paid for media and the sheeple who listen...not nearly enough thinking humans)

Its been said many times before... that the people were 'idiots' to have voted in the last prez... but to remove all remaining doubt....they voted him in yet again... nuff sed....and goes as well when describing any of the two party system

Ron Paul stated to 'drain the DC swamp' was the ONLY way to fix the problem...but was marginalized by the media. I have often wondered if he had went third party (what he really stood for) if this country would have rallied behind him and voted him in....but looks like we'll never know that.

In the big picture (show): Nope!

[ghostrider]

voting them all out could be a good step in the right direction ... They all should be gone for what they have done ... the patriot act , the NDAA law , all of it doesn't nothing for us but limit our freedoms ... RETURN TO THE CONSTITUTION AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS ...
