What little people can do

Yesterday, I sent tweets to persons who had tweeted using #getmoneyout. The tweet I sent asked "What can little people do?" and gave a link to What can little people do? I have had 576 page views of that link. I estimate that I received more than 50 retweets, favorites, follows, and replies.

Replies I received included:

Stand up. stand together and get lazy voters to understand they are a part of the problem

very good Rob

Enjoyed your blog! Thx for sharing!

Thanks for the link

We are like fingers that can be easily broken unless we form a fist together. United we are strong. Never give up.

I'm 100% down with Lessig on analysis, intelligence, and heart. But public financing is delusional, we need an amendment.

Unite.Across party and ideological lines on this one issue. United citizenry can tell the Congress what to do. How? Hmmm

I personally am trying to help advance the plan for reform of MAYDAY.US. Per the MAYDAY.US website, the plan has four stages:

1. In 2014, we will pilot the idea of a superPAC intervening in elections to support candidates who favor reform. The objective of this pilot intervention will be to both (a) convince Congress of the salience of this issue to voters, and (b) determine how best to intervene to move voters on the basis of this issue.
2. Based on what we learn in 2014, in 2016 we will engage in as many races as we need to win a majority in Congress who have either cosponsored or committed to cosponsor fundamental reform legislation.
3. In 2017, we will then press to get Congress to pass, and the President to sign, legislation that fundamentally reforms the way elections are funded.
4. After a Congress has been elected under this new system, we will push for whatever constitutional reform is necessary to secure the gains from this reform.

After the 2014 election returns, MAYDAY did an analysis and interpreted the elections as showing there was great difficulty of voters voting against their party in partisan, contested situations, and said that MAYDAY would shift its focus to getting involved in "safe seat" elections or in primary elections.

In December MAYDAY pronounced "That we can’t wait for the next election. We must continue this work now." MAYDAY elaborated:

So over the next year, that’s what we’re going to do. Our team is already spec-ing out a platform that will make it possible for our most important resource — you — to help us recruit members of Congress to support reform. That’s not a platform to ask for money. And it won’t demand much of the voters’ time. But it will enable us to recruit voters in targeted districts to make a simple ask of their incumbent representatives: Will you co-sponsor fundamental reform? And then to create the campaign to get them to yes. [See What we learned in 2014? and MAYDAY's next step.]

What do you think about what MAYDAY is trying to do in 2015?

What personal effort are you willing to make to help advance MAYDAY's plan in 2015?
