Carrying Out RP's Legacy

I would like nothing better than to see Ron Paul trounce the other deceitful and self-centered candidates in the Republican Primaries. Unfortunately, polls strongly indicate otherwise. Nevertheless, Ron Paul’s grassroots campaign has set afire the passion in millions of Americans to fight for real change—and this fire will not be easily extinguished. Even though Ron Paul may lose the presidential election, I will explain a revolutionary political strategy that enables us to carry out his legacy. This strategy outlined below, which I call PowerVote, would enable Ron Paul supporters to appropriate control of congress so that we can end the War in Iraq and refocus the United States on its Constitution.

Below is a step-by-step explanation of how PowerVote works.

1. A holding account is created specifically for a political cause, for example, ending the War in Iraq. Americans like you and I will make donations to this account…with the guarantee that everyone will receive a full refund.

2. While donations accumulate, the money in this account will be targeted at congress. That is, each member of congress, ONE AT A TIME, will be given the ultimatum to vote in favor of ending the War in Iraq or face a very wealthy challenger in the next election—that is, the money in the holding account would be donated to the future challenger. If you are about to question the legality of this, bear with me and I will explain in Steps 4 and 5 how this is to be done.

3. Most incumbents will not want to face a well-funded challenger in the next election and, one-by-one, will comply with the demand of PowerVote. The underlying theme is that this one collection of donations can be used to “herd” members of congress to our cause—just as a single lion sets a herd of zebra running. Hence, the “congressional herd” will vote to end the war and we will get a full refund of our donation.

4. However, in the rare event that a member of congress does not comply with PowerVote, each donor will receive an email with a link to a temporary bank account containing a refund of his or her donation. PayPal would be a good medium because it has a service whereby money can be sent to anyone with an email address.

5. The email sent to the donor will contain a short message to the following effect: “John Doe, member of the House, failed to vote in favor of ending the war in Iraq. However, the future challenger Jane Q asserts that she will vote in favor of ending this war, if elected. In order to further your cause, it is advised that you transfer your donation from your PayPal account to the campaign of Jane Q.” There will then be a link to Jane Q’s campaign site and, within seconds, this donation can be made. Every now and then a lion takes down a zebra…and the herd’s fear only escalates.

I have thoroughly studied campaign finance reforms and regulations, and this is entirely legal. If you have comments or concerns though, please post and I will try to reply as soon as possible.
