House and Senate Incumbents, Senior Staffers & Political Reformers All Reject New Ideas,
Leaving Only Youngest Staffers With Enough Courage and Experience To Stop Trump from Destroying Our Future
Help Create an America That Meets Your Aspirations

Trump Co-opting
U.S. Government for
Revenge, Power & Profit
Trump betrays allies:
Europe, Ukraine, NATO,
Korea, Taiwan
Trump “Loving” Tyrants Putin, Xi & Kim - who see him as “useful idiot”
Both Parties Intentionally Monopolize Seats - Reversals Largely Ineffective
Both Parties Organize Primaries and Draw Districts
To Shut Out Independent Voters & Candidates
Yet Election Reform Has Failed to Change Incumbents’ Actions
Voters Understandably Rejected Election Reform in 10 States in 2024
Capitol Dome Syndrome:
Lawmakers Blame Their Failures on:
-
The other party
-
Their own party’s dysfunctions
-
Outdated Congressional norms & Procedures
-
Time Consuming Aspects of the Job
-
Need to Raise Money for Next Election
Most Criticize Their Own Institution - While Refusing to Fix It
Senior Staffers Deny Reality
Young Staffers & Incumbents We Met Have Said Our Approach is Necessary to Advance Any Aspirations
Yet Incumbents Also Said the Public Has Never Held Them Accountable for Results - and Never Will
Hence, Senior Staffers Have Refused to Set Up Any Meetings With Their Bosses
Junior Staffers are Thereby Only People Equipped to Publicize Our Evidence
Incumbents Would Then be Forced To Act - or Lose Their Seats in Three Months
