Nashville, TN – Steve Armbruster, representative of the organization “Get Out Of Our House”, or GOOOH (www.goooh.com)
, introduces their novel grass-roots approach to facilitate the selection of our Congressional candidates, with host “Doctor Future” and co-host Tom Bionic, airing daily during the week of 8 February on the “Future Quake” program, broadcast on the Christian talk radio station WENO, 760 AM in Nashville, TN (and archived at http://www.futurequake.com)
. The discussion begins with an acknowledgement of the depths of corruption and domination by financial backers within our existing two-party system, which terminally afflicts both major parties. A situation now exists whereby party insiders and high-dollar corporate donors select our candidates for elected office, who then upon election must serve the interests of those who have bankrolled their candidacy, particularly to support re-election. Alternatively, Tim Cox, the founder of GOOOH, and his colleagues have devised and refined an alternative approach to this current political process fiasco, by structuring a means by which (a) any voting-age citizen can be considered as a viable congressional candidate, (b) the citizens of each district can specifically “vet” the potential citizen-candidates in a process to select that person most “supportable”
amongst their own and consistent with their positions on issues, (c) funds for the campaign of each GOOOH, citizen selected candidate is available for each Congressional district, and (d) each elected GOOOH candidate can be held accountable to assure that their voting record complies with their committed positions on the issues prior to their election. A critical component of this endeavor is the assembly of ten-person district candidate selection groups, who vet each participant and vote, caucus-style, for candidates amongst the group best representing their values, with subsequent series of down-select rounds distilling a final candidate that best represents the citizens and their positions, by evidence of their own exhaustive vetting. Equally important are the detailed, extensive candidacy questionnaires completed by each citizen participant, which form the crux of the vetting process, and serve as the standard that each elected GOOOH official must comply with after election (with regard to their own stated issue positions that they reflect, and by which they were selected to defend), under risk of forced resignation if they do not. Once the hundreds of thousands of current GOOOH supporters reach a critical threshold of numbers (expected to occur in time to impact the 2010 Congressional election), a modest fund-raising step will raise sufficient levels to support the candidate campaigns in every Congressional district, as explained in this thought-provoking interview.
