Rob, this is truly a great idea and what I've been thinking for some time.  There is no social, economic, environmental, or any other issue that can be seriously discussed in our government these days because there are almost no representatives whose concerns are the people of this country.  Additionally, it feels like many hot issues are really red herrings that we, the people, wouldn't actually spend a second thinking about (unlimited personal firepower?!) if they weren't being planted by big industries using billions of dollars as kind of PR tools to win elections.

As I said, I have been thinking about this problem for a while now.  Here's what I've determined.  We need a wave election.  There must be enough people elected at one time, in a wave, who can amass enough political capital to make the change in Congress.  In addition to merely winning votes in Congress, they first have to be able to offer resolutions and get Bills to the floor for votes.  They'll have to be able to overcome the likes of crooked Congressional Leaders and filibusters.  MayDay is the solution I've been thinking of, but:

How do we get enough candidates, all of whom probably have a history of taking a side (left or right, it doesn't matter) to get enough votes from both sides to beat well-funded incumbents?  I've been thinking the organizing body (MayDay, in this case) must run an equal number of candidates from both sides who a) denounce any previous political position (as I said, many positions we've seen taken in politics over recent history are red herrings, anyway); b) promise to address on a daily basis campaign finance / election reform exclusively; c) the wave should promise to abstain from voting on anything else while serving; and, d) promise to resign from Congress immediately upon completion of reform so that voters can then hold an election to populate Congress with their representatives to deliberate real issues.

All four of these points are extreme, but what we’re after is to unify voting groups who, in recent history, have not been able to agree if it’s night or day.  We know the only thing that might possibly meet in the middle is the recognition that our politicians are corrupt and not working for us.  I can’t see anything short of the four points above working.  What do you think?

Thanks for including me in your tweet and MayDay.  Donation coming.
