END THE PARTIES

Vote red, white and blue not red or blue.

Purposes and goals: 1. To inform people of the fraud, corruption and cheating by political parties of the U. S. A.. 2. To inform people of the negative affects and effects of these political parties on voters and elections of representatives and other public servants at city, county, state and national levels. 3. To reduce the affectiveness and effectiveness of these parties (especially Democrats and Republicans) on the people so they may think for themselves and vote based on their own principles. 4. Ultimately to end these parties and partisan elections within the U. S. A.. They cannot be rehabilitated nor taken-over!!!! Why end the parties?

THE PROBLEMS WITH POLITICAL PARTIES:

1. Parties pressure “their own” to vote for candidates and bills that may not be constitutional for party unity reasons, not lawful or useful reasons. National headquarters influence the grassroots. Therefore, parties reduce grassroots influence.

2. Politicians represent the party, not the people, because the party raised money, supported and promoted them. Each party chooses their nominee for the rest of America thereby preventing a huge majority of Americans from any input in selecting the nominees and therefore the next president. Some of our nation’s founders thought of political parties as factions that would selfishly plot for their own gain. “… the public good is disregarded in the conflicts of rival parties…” James Madison, Federalist Paper 10.

3. Many people do not think about nor research candidates, but rather vote for what (party), not who. They have a herding mentality and Ingroup Bias.

4. Jesse Ventura, Joe Lieberman and others illustrated that the parties are not needed to win and that many people do not like either party.

5. Republicans and Democrats (“Republicrats”) tend to spin information to their favor and/or against the opposing party.

6. Parties are not as useful as they were before the Internet, telephones and the mass media became popular. Decades ago people relied on parties to provide political information.

7. Parties are partisan and so will defend their members regardless of the truth. “Put party first.” Partisanship is emotional, not based on truth or law. Our “representatives” sometimes “vote on party lines”. However, the parties do protect each other if it benefits their parties. Both parties try to keep constitutional candidates out. Republicrats ignore constitutionalists and other nonestablishment politicians running within their party, so we get the same old power-hungry greedy politicians. Republicrats ignore them partly because they will not bring in the money. Money and power influence most decisions Republicrats make. Search Muzafer Sherif’s camp experiment, 1961.

8. Parties complain about and call their “opponent” names just because of tradition and because they are a competitor, regardless of the truth. They bicker, tattle and cheat like kids.

9. Parties are hypocrites and ignore the Golden Rule. They defend their own when they do an immoral and/or an unlawful act, but complain when someone of the other party does the same act. Rival candidates of the same party (and rarely of the other party) will usually “endorse” a candidate of the same party after they quit the race. How can they go from opponent to endorsement? Partisanship not principles.

10. Parties use primary elections that are not stated in our national constitution and exclude people of other parties or not in a party. Primary elections are only for parties, but county and state governments operate them and cost taxpayers millions of dollars (over $10 million in some states). Primaries and caucuses are elections by and for political parties only. Each political party should pay for their own primary elections. Is it constitutional for political parties to have statutes and the like pertaining to their semiprivate events that the county and state governments operate and taxpayers pay for? County, state and national conventions also cost taxpayers money. The Federal Elections Commission, for example, has been paying millions of your dollars in “matching funds” to candidates for president, party infommercials, oops national conventions and “grants” to presidential nominees for decades. Total cost to Americans regardless of any party affiliation is over $100,000,000.

11. Parties ignore some laws because they are afraid obeying these laws will anger some of their members and/or give the other party reason for criticism. Obeying laws restricts the power of parties and makes them appear uncompassionate. For example, welfare and food stamps are unconstitutional, but supporting a bill or law to ban both would be considered uncompassionate by the other party. Party officers ignore some of their own rules and by-laws. Some county and state party officers cheat or allow cheating in caucuses, party conventions and/or primary elections to favor the establishment candidates and override the will of the local people/grassroots.

12. Parties do not want to restrain their actions to within the boundaries of our Constitution because the other party will then have more power or options. Both like big, intrusive and oppressive government, but in different ways – Republicans socially+-, Democrats economically+-.

13. The mass media by far mostly covers candidates of these 2 major parties. This is not fair to other parties and those running as an independent.

14. The mass media is mostly biased toward Democrats, so no one else gets equal or fair coverage.

15. Republicrats are:

a. selfish

b. wasteful (of our money)

c. greedy (for more power and money)

d. corrupt - They promise handouts to “buy” our votes. They are controlled by unions, associations and corporations, not by we the people. “Political parties are by their nature, corruptive.” – Thomas Jefferson. George Washington warned against political parties in his Farewell Address September 17, 1796 beginning about paragraph 17. Also, there is no mention nor accommodation for parties in our U.S.A. Constitution for a reason. Some national, state, county and local party officials violate morals, the will of their “grassroots” and their own by-laws against presidential candidates (and some other candidates) whom the officials do not like. The media supports this by ignoring or nearly ignoring these candidates. Or is it the other way around? Republican Ron Paul in 2008 and 2012 and Democrat Randall Terry in 2012 are great examples of this cheating. Therefore, constitutionalists, patriots or libertarians will not be allowed to take over the parties.

e. short-sighted

f. irresponsible

g. unaccountable

h. liars - They lie and tell people what the people want to hear to get elected. They promise to fix the problems that they (if an incumbent) and their predecessors caused.

i. steal our rights, money and political power

j. do not represent most Americans

k. believe they are the cure, not the problem

l. elitists – For example: California GOP By-laws at http://cagop.org/pdf/Standing_Rules_and_Bylaws_03-20-2011.pdf - Article 1, S. 1.04(A): “With respect to matters of party governance and, to the extent provided for herein, the selection of nominees and Presidential electors, these bylaws shall govern and take precedence over the California Elections Code or other law to the contrary.” The underline is not part of the quote. This by-law is unconstitutional. This is not to say that the Elections Code is constitutional.

m. game-players - Parties play politics against each other while in office to the point of obstructing action, bills, resolutions, etc.

n. controlled by money, power, organizations, unions and corporations. Some of their decisions are based on money rather than our constitution or other law or the truth.

o. similar - Notice that regardless of which party “wins” control of a part(s) of government, the results are similar – increasing debt, decreasing value of ”money”, more color of law, fewer freedoms, fewer rights and ignore their oath to obey our U.S.A. Constitution. Parties cause, but do not foresee political, economic and, to a point, social unintended consequences/negative side effects. Then they promise to fix the negative unintended consequences if elected/reelected. Do they purposely cause the negative unintended consequences to run on fixing them or to get people to rely on them more? They use the Cloward-Piven Strategy, the Report From Iron Mountain, 10 steps to despotism, media propaganda, Fabianism, Keynesianism, lies, fallacies, deceptions and attacks of opponents to transfer power and rights from the people to the central government. They are also known as Republicrats or Demicans. Two different wings of the same bird of prey.

16. Without parties, people would have to think and research before supporting and/or voting for a candidate and/or an issue. There would be no more “majority leader” (with power over the “minority”), “minority leader” nor “aisle” that divides the parties in Congress.

17. Republicrates use franking and gerrymandering to keep themselves in power and keep “3rd party” competition away. They control politics. Ross Perot worried Republicans because they felt he would take votes from George Bush, Sr.. Republicans called Perot a “spoiler” to get people to vote for the “lesser” of evils of the Republicans that “could win” believing Perot would “get Clinton elected”. Ron Paul had the same effect as Perot on Republicans in 2008 and 2012 to the point of cheating and fraud by some Republicans. Get the documentary video “SPOiLER: How a Third Political Party Could Win”.

18. Republicrats use crony capitalism to benefit big business and big business donates to candidates who will give something back such as laws that favor products made by the donating big business.

19. Nonpartisan elections are common in America and other nations. This prevents partisan voting and party bias by the media.

20. Republicrats support all of these to some degree:

I. Abolition of private property in land and application of all rents of land to public purpose.

II. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

III. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.

IV. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.

V. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state [central government], by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.

VI. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the state.

VII. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.

VIII. Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of Industrial armies, especially for agriculture.

IX. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.

X. Free education for all children in government schools. These are the 10 planks of the communist manifesto.

21. For more about the evils of the 2 major parties, read DemoCRIPS and ReBLOODlicans by Jesse Ventura.

Why does power tend to corrupt and/or lead to dominating and/or selfish tendencies:

A. Politicians have tremendous power. A sense of power can cause a leader to engage in what leadership ethicist, Terry Price, calls "exception making" - believing that the rules that govern what is right and what is wrong does not apply to the powerful leader.

B. Leaders can also become "intoxicated" by power - engaging in wrong behavior simply because they can and they can get away with it (and followers are willing to collude and make such exceptions because "It's ok because he/she is the leader"). Some have suggested that President Clinton engaged in a sexual dalliance with intern Monica Lewinsky simply because "he could."

C. Some people are simply power hungry and prone to use their power to subjugate others. – A, B, and C are from Psychology Today article by Ronald Riggio 8/2009.

D. “Once we become socially isolated, we stop simulating the feelings of other people. As a result, our inner Machiavelli takes over, and our sense of sympathy is squashed by selfishness.” The UC Berkeley psychologist Dacher Keltner has found that, in many social situations, people with power act just like patients with severe brain damage. "The experience of power might be thought of as having someone open up your skull and take out that part of your brain so critical to empathy and socially-appropriate behavior," he writes. "You become very impulsive and insensitive, which is a bad combination."

E. We live in an age when our most powerful people - they tend to also have lots of money - are also the most isolated. They live in gated communities with private drivers. They eat at different restaurants and stay at different resorts. They wear different clothes and skip the security lines at airports, before sitting at the front of the plane. We shouldn't be surprised that they're also a__holes. D and E from the Daily Dish by Andrew Sullivan

F. Why does power corrupt? Psychologists refer to this as the paradox of power. The very traits that helped leaders accumulate control in the first place all but disappear once they rise to power. Instead of being polite, honest and outgoing, they become impulsive, reckless and rude. According to psychologists, one of the main problems with authority is that it makes us less sympathetic to the concerns and emotions of others. For instance, several studies have found that people in positions of authority are more likely to rely on stereotypes and generalizations when judging other people. They also spend much less time making eye contact, at least when a person without power is talking.

Consider an experiment led by Adam Galinsky, a psychologist at Northwestern University. Galinsky and colleagues began by asking subjects to either describe an experience in which they had lots of power or a time when they felt utterly powerless. Then the psychologists asked the subjects to draw the letter E on their foreheads. Those primed with feelings of power were much more likely to draw the letter backwards, when seen by another person. Galinsky et al. argue that this effect is triggered by the myopia of power, which makes it much harder to imagine the world from the perspective of someone else. We draw the letter backwards because we don’t care about the viewpoint of others. We don’t give a sh__ what the maid thinks. - By Jonah Lehrer 5/2011

G. What are the implications of a power bias? In general power bias would make the empowered people tend to think they have more support from others in their views than they have. Altruists in power would be even less concerned with individual variations in goals and values - i.e. they would tend to become more egalitarian and paternalist. – Adam Galinsky and others, 2006

SUMMARY: Powerful people make exceptions to laws and rules for themselves. They do so because they can get away with it. They love power. They are socially (and usually financially) isolated leading to selfishness and loss of sympathy. Power bias.

Stop voting for red or blue and start voting for red, white and blue!

HOW TO END THE PARTIES: Register as independent/unaffiliated/no party preference on the Internet, by mail or in person at the state Secretary of State, at the county Registrar of Voters or elsewhere. Make copies of the handout or make your own and pass them out. Spy on the parties and anonymously expose to “authorities” all corruption that you witness. Stop giving money to and volunteering for political party events. Support and vote for independents (unless a good constitutionalist runs). Run for an office as an independent. Tell others to quit their party and be independent, open-minded thinkers who vote for the person, not the party. Cost the parties money whenever you can. Play politics against them as they do to us. Pester national, state and county party officers and volunteers weekly (or daily or hourly) with emails, faxes, calls and/or postcards until they quit. Share your ideas on how to end the parties.
