Deposits (PowerVote style) vs Donations

Note: I made some changes at the bottom of this post that should make the descripton of the PowerVote transaction easier to understand.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

** Deposits, PowerVote style, are far superior to traditional political donations. These deposits are new and very different than anything you have ever heard of before. They are also far superior to bundles or soft money.

** The reason deposits, PowerVote style, are superior is that they are raw cash that is legally free from powerful government regulations that restrict the power of traditional donations. THIS FREEDOM REQUIRES A WHOLE NEW PARADIGM. Forget influencing elections or getting people elected, that’s old school. Instead, THINK IN TERMS OF CONTROLLING ENTIRE LEGISLATIVE BODIES (STATE & FED) WITHOUT INFLUENCING ELECTIONS AT ALL. Think in terms of getting the legislation that you want without giving any money to any politicians...ever!

WARNING: Understanding why deposits, PowerVote style, are superior is probably over the head of the average bear. Ron Paul’s supporters can make these deposits though without understanding the mechanics of what makes them work. Trusted leaders of the movement are the only ones who need to know the mechanics and why it will work.

DEPOSITS--POWERVOTE STYLE

Why settle for the Presidency when you, Ron Paul and his contributors can control Congress and all 50 state legislatures? If you can raise enough money to crush the political career of just one lawmaker (which you’ve already proved that you do), then Ron Paul can become a powerful whip to herd lawmakers in a way that has never been done before.

Why settle for electing the next president (or not) when you can make history as big as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson? Ron Paul supporters seizing control of legislatures nationwide is far more powerful than electing a president. More importantly, you’ll be showing your fellow Americans how to be free and join the revolution. You just need to spend a few minutes learning how to restructure the transaction that you use in your fundraising so that it is free from certain campaign laws. It’s easy, but it’s different. You’ve never heard of this before.

Why work for free when you can get paid at free enterprise levels for your accomplishments? The solution that I’m proposing here is pretty much unregulated. Now you can earn what you are worth. In exchange for changing the history of the world decisively and quickly, I expect that you’ll earn a lot as in “millionaires.”

If you’re politically sophisticated, you probably know about bundling. What you are reading about now is much more powerful. Bundling forces contributors to lock into a certain candidate. When your main purpose is to heard cattle, not whip a certain beast, you must be free to crack your whip loudly to drive the herd and only, very occasionally, wack whatever beast you choose whenever you choose. If you take the action described here, you will have that freedom...now!

Maybe you know about soft money. There is nothing soft about the whip that you’re reading about here. It’s all hard money. There’s no legal limit on how powerful this whip can be.

I’m a CPA. I’ve known how to legally create this whip for many, many years. The catch has always been that my system, which I call PowerVote, only frees small donors united behind a cause from key campaign finance laws. It does nothing to free corporations, unions or the wealthy from their legal limits. This is a rare moment in history. Never before have so many people put up so much money behind a man and a cause for no personal benefit other than the cause itself. The power is now here. It just needs to be formed into a powerful whip that will cause lawmakers to flee for their political lives. It’s a whip Ron Paul can use to drive the legislation you and he stand for.

I just read that RP is scaling down his campaign. The moment in history is now. The time to seize control of the government is now. Every minute of inaction threatens failure by loss of momentum. I have no more time to spend selling you on a great new future for you, your country and mankind. Here’s how it works:

The key to PowerVote is the scoreboard that appears on the front page at http://www.powervotenow.c.... Each line item shows an amount of money under “Deposits,” a name of a political leader under “Whip” and a demand for political action. The deposits show how badly the depositors want action. As already mentioned, the Whip is the person whom the depositors most trust on the issue.

The amount of deposits shows the power of the Whip. The more money, the louder the whip cracks. These deposits will truly be feared by lawmakers like nothing else known to man. There is no legal limit on their aggregate value that the Whip can direct into defeating a lawmaker. If PowerVote shows $20,000,000 in deposits in support of a Whip, then the entire $20,000,000 can be converted into HARD MONEY political contributions. This money can all be contributed to a lawmaker’s strongest challenger during the next election. Again, the defeat of the targeted lawmaker is NOT the goal, but it is what makes the whip crack so loudly. This whip represents almost certain political death for all but a tiny minority of the most famous lawmakers. Who cares about them as long as you can control the rest of the herd?

Unlike bundling, the $20,000,000 of our example is not locked into any one candidate. You can’t drive a heard if you’re locked into whipping just one beast. You need the flexibility to crack your whip from beast to beast in order to keep them in line. Unlike PACs, the entire $20,000,000 is free from the $5,000 per candidate limit that cripples PACs. PACs are the equivalent of driving a herd by giving each beast one small handful of feed or hitting them with a miniature flyswatter.

What makes PowerVote Deposits so free? PowerVote deposits merely prove how much money you would contribute to a campaign targeted by your Whip. Any actual contribution of the deposit (in the rare instance that a beast beating becomes necessary) is totally under your control. The contribution would only be subject to your personal legal limits, not the group’s or the Whip’s. The Whip can direct the deposit into the targeted campaign because you subscribed to receive advice from the Whip that will accompany your refund. Furthermore, as part of the PowerVote process you also subscribed to receive everything you need to send the refunded deposit to whomever the Whip advises.

Here’s why PowerVote should prevail if legally challenged. PowerVote depositors are using their First Amendment protected speech to show how badly they want political action on the PowerVote scoreboard. Proving this can help attract financial support for a cause, determine its financial strength and give lawmakers a chance to take the action necessary in order to avoid the expense of influencing an election. Simultaneously, PowerVote depositors are using their First Amendment rights of free press to subscribe to a publication that advises them on where to make a campaign contribution and whether or not such action is even advisable. In targeting lawmakers, the Whips are merely using their freedom of speech to publically announce what course of action that they plan to advise.

Now, you could ask the FEC if this is all legal and you could do that for free. Personally, I wouldn’t care what they said. This is a First Amendment issue, not a FEC issue.

How PowerVote works may be a little complicated, but making a PowerVote Deposit is simple. You just send an amount of money into a Whip or somebody else who’s willing to serve as a custodian of the deposits. Half the money you send in is considered a PowerVote Deposit. Watch the value of deposits grow in support of your issue. As the value grows, you’ll notice lawmakers react in one way or another. At first their reaction will probably be “a crackpot idea” and accusations of illegality. Next as the number grows, expect the reaction to turn to condemnation and alarm. If the number keeps growing, you should get what you want as lawmakers one by one flee from the Whip and support the action that you want. If your Whip targets properly, politicians will choose political life over political death. All this should occur at number values far smaller than what a candidate like Ron Paul recently raised for his Presidential bid. For a fraction of the cost of his campaign, his supporters could have seen their political agenda passed as law without anybody spending their deposits.

To finish the description of the mechanics of PowerVote, after you send in your money, the Whip or other party informs PowerVote of the amount of the deposits they hold and we verify it. (Note: PowerVote only verifies the amount for political purposes, we don’t guarantee the deposits will be refunded properly unless we hold the money.) PowerVote posts on its scoreboard the verified amount of deposits in support of the Whip and the corresponding demand for action. To use the amount to herd lawmakers, the Whip would only need to make public his target priorities. Whips can use PowerVote to make this info public if they so choose.

The Whips can use the other non-deposit half of the money however they choose. Attracting deposits and selling subscriptions costs money, as would returning the deposits in a fashion that would make it easy for depositors to follow the Whip’s advice. A Whip can return deposits whenever he or she chooses. The depositors also can request a refund of the deposit whenever they choose. There is no right of refund at any time for the non-deposit portion of the money.

It’s now or maybe never. You might be the one who takes advantage of this power by acting first, but then again, it might be somebody else. To get going on this, contact Ron Paul at http://www.ronpaul2008.co... and let him know there's a powerful new weapon at his disposal. You can also contact me personally with your thoughts at jtodaro1@wowway.com or call James A. Todaro at (734) 981-6026. I can answer any questions that you may have and I can make sure that I’m set up to do my part, whatever that may be.
