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.
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.
