At 1787, we know – with zero doubt – that there is a pathway to victory for new political players if we STAND TOGETHER.

The destructive, archaic two-party structure has run its course. It’s time to level the playing field in American politics by shattering this debilitating dynamic once and for all.

If you think we sound naïve, we ask you: Why not? Why can’t a country of smart, innovative and empowered people unite to demand a larger voice in defining our future? We have nothing to lose and everything to gain because the alternative is just not working.It’s understandable that we “ordinary” Americans feel as powerless as David as we face the Goliath of special interest groups and national party affiliation, but there is massive strength in even relatively small numbers. Consider the extraordinary power of special interest groups. They have enormous influence in Washington and exert unparalleled control over our leaders.

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is one of the most influential lobbying groups in Washington but has just over 100,000 members. The National Education Association (NEA), one of the top influences in the Democratic party, has only three million members but their efforts consistently obstruct a ton of educational proposals. There are reportedly just five million members of the National Rifle Association (NRA) – even in complete internal disarray, the undisputed master of the Republican Party – but they have historically blocked just about everything regarding gun control.

Hey, “ordinary” Americans, don’t forget that there are over 255 million adults in the United States. AIPAC’s members are only 0.04 percent of the entire adult population. The NEA members are only 1 percent and the NRA’s members are only 2 percent.

We're not completely delusional. We fully recognize the uphill battle we face. For one, our current political system is designed to be an impenetrable fortress, purposefully constructed to protect the two-party system in every way. The Electoral College, ballot access and debate rules, and endless other hurdles combine to make the playing field extraordinarily inequitable for new players.

There is also no question that those currently in charge will do everything in their power to try to stop us because this idea threatens their very existence. It’s in their best interest to keep us alienated from one another because when we actually join forces, their Machiavellian gig will be up. Many people think money rules Washington, but the power created by financial contributions is nothing in the face of an alliance that can take their power away. Our success is their worst nightmare because, when we prove that we are a force to be reckoned with, **we will literally change the way this country is run.

That said, we also know – with zero doubt – that there is a pathway to victory if we STAND TOGETHER. There will always* be people who fight to protect the status quo, but that’s really not even an option anymore. Clearly things can’t stay as they are, and we won’t change things if we are not daring, bold and brave.***Times are changing and changing fast. A new political party will eventually win. We guarantee you that, fellow Americans.

To The Establishment we say: Bring it on! Take your best shot and try with all of your might to stop us, but it won’t work this time. Your glory days are over.
