Now that voters have decided to give one of the Big Two parties one more chance at getting governing right, we must be vigilant. We must hold our elected officials accountable. If they fail to live up to your expectations, then join our independent voter rebellion. See press page for recent articles. We want to hear from you. Call me to add your voice: Joe Oddo 703-338-0200 --- Thanks for all the votes on November 4, 2008. We Win by Running! Our next mission is to improve our electoral system.  1. Will more people vote if they thought their vote would count?  2. Shouldn't any voter that appears at the correct precinct on Election Day be permitted to vote?  3. Shouldn't voters be able to rank their preferred choices? This has actually yielded positive campaigning and has improved the discourse of election competition.  What can you do to improve competition and challenge more incumbents? Two things. 1) RUN FOR OFFICE! The requirements vary widely state by state - contact us for details. 2) Promote our National Election Reform Platform. Ask your elected officials to introduce legislation to ease the restrictive ballot access laws and to secure our nation's electoral systems.

Thanks to those who attended the first workshop on Running for Office facilitated by Mr. Oddo on September 6, 2006 at Camp Democracy on the National Mall in Washington DC. Classes forming now for the 2010 season. ### Running for office is winning. Help us recruit, or invest your money into this important independent undertaking. Our aim is to seed independent candidates and restore citizen involvement. Please send what you can – but no more than $5,000. Any contributions you make – time or money – are valuable, and greatly appreciated.
