Tired of trying to find a politician that believes exactly like you do? Then your search is over. I would be a politician that would vote based on how we feel not how I feel. I will assemble a team of top notch website maker uppers. On this website any registered voter in my precinct can login and tell me how they would like me to vote on a particular bill. I will also keep an update of any bills to be voted on, and all the information that I have available to me to share about said bill. All constituents can decide yes, no, or need more information. I will cast the vote (or not) based upon the result of the poll.
No amount of media scrutiny would be able to shake me. When I asked about my particular feelings, for example abortion, I would simply say, "It's irrelevant my, vote will be based upon what my constituents want. If your bill pleases them, it pleases me and you can have my vote, if not, tough toenails.
I would also propose bills to Congress, based on my constituents input, in a different section of aforementioned website. Any bill I may propose, will be available for discussion, scrutiny, and just basic spitballing.
My thoughts and imaginations go far beyond that, but this is just a sample of how I would enter the political arena. I worked as a operations manager in trucking for over 20 years, and currently work construction and pizza delivery, while being a Grandpa for the first time.
I've got a lot of positive reactions, or neutral, amongst my family and friends. I'd appreciate if you take a moment, and give me your opinion thus far.
Thanks in advance.
A vote for me, is a vote for you!!!
Where do I donate to the campaign?
I'm not ready yet. I Don't wish to expose my precinct as of yet. I figure I could get more opinions if I don't pigeon hole myself.
I very much like the concept of listening to what your constituents want and actually voting that way. How novel!! And making it easy for them to make their opinions known is great. HOWEVER, you would have to be very careful and have a way of vetting those online poll votes, otherwise, you could wind up with a bot farm voting en masse against the wellbeing of your constituents.
Also, if I were you, I'd bone up big time on the Constitution and emphasize that very, very, very heavily. That you will take your oath to the Constitution seriously and adhere by it. And you will go after enemies of the Constitution, whether foreign or domestic. It makes me sick that so many in congress should have been removed for breaking their oaths but their fellow congresscritters (cronies) do nothing.
Good luck and PLEASE keep posting your ideas and campaign plank here. We need more 'real people' in government. All the best.
I would definitely take my oath to the constitution seriously. Any proposed bills that are repugnant to the constitution get an automatic"no".
I would definitely need that top notch web designer. As a representative, you don't have as many constituents as say a senator.
The first bill I may propose is passing a law making it felony treason to fuck with said website.
Sadly, I would think you'd have a hard time getting that bill passed. But it would be worth trying. Also, one thing I think is hugely important and rarely see, is get in front of the people as often as possible (press conferences, town meetings, etc.) and state what is actually going on. Are certain parties (dems) blocking important legislation? Call them out on it. Actually say to your consitutents - "You want XYZ? I want it too. You know who's blocking it? A and B and C." Let the people know what is going on because the people usually don't have the time to dig into every little thing. So tell them. Anyway, glad to hear you're considering this. Do keep us posted along the way, please.
I like it. I’d vote for you.
Good luck man!
Nope.
Consider this.

Internet historian, any polls a goal.
Only registered voters in my precinct are able to vote in the online poll.
They vote for the direction of their livelihood, not where Justin Bieber's going to play.
thats a good strategy..problem is many go in with that energy then cornered by the good ol boys club and told how things work or they blacmail and black ball you into submission....we need more with this attitude going in...enough to override the old club.........carry on you got my vote
I'll be an open book. It's that way anyway. So, I'll be exposed as a fallible human being. How can you blackmail somebody who doesn't care what you find out about them. Yeah, there'll be some embarrassing things, but what are really our alternatives to actually being represented? All rat anybody out that tries to bribe me. I would be even willing to wear a body cam while working. They don't scare me.
As Trump once said, what do you have to lose?
I hate to bring it up,but are you reasonably good looking and in decent shape?
Why do you hate to say it?
It shouldn't be a big factor,but it is. Good looking people have a big advantage.
Something I once heard: “If you stand for nothing, you’ll fall for anything”.
I’m sure your heart is in the right place, but as a voter, I would want to know where you stand on matters.
I see it as standing for the constitution, and standing for the people I represent.
I have heard this argument before, and I feel somewhere deep in you, there's a negative vibe. Why is it important for you to know my personal feelings? Not saying I wouldn't give them, but why important??
I would give my opinion on any bill that was to be voted on. Regardless of my opinion, I would vote based on what my constituents want.
Generally, in considering a candidate, I would want to know what their values are, what they believe - are they in alignment with my own values and beliefs? If so, I would vote for them, trusting that they would vote on any particular matter as I would wish them to. How wonderful would it be to be assured that my representative would vote as I would want them to! For some context, I live in a blue area within one of the bluest of blue states. As an “ultra-MAGA” conservative, I can’t remember a time when I had representation. I wish you only the best in your endeavor.
