Introduction 

 Our Values 

Instead of sending a fear based email or post, and intimidating you into sending money as quickly as possible, we are going to neutraly and unbaisdly tell you about what we are doing, and you can make your own choice if you want to get involved.

Instead of only accepting your money, and only caring about what you choose at the ballot box, we are offing you automatic full membership involvement to build the infrastructure for a new foundational civic engagement and empowerment model. You can be as involved as you want and start making decisions with equal democratic voting power on all organizational decisions if you choose to.

We are non-partisan, open for all, educational, media & socially focused, interactive, publicly transparent, collaborative, accountable, and empowering to anyone who wants to get involved.

The power structures of the world are very condensed. In the United States the only two viable political parties are both competing for 'single party rule'. Organizations that say they are trying to protect and serve democracy don't operate democratically themselves. Lets open up the playing filed, and get better options to the people.

Are you ready to reimagine our collective civic power, and see what new infrastructures we can build for future generations? You are invited to join in with the fun. We could make huge strides in just a single election, but our plans are long term and will be most impressive over a multi election cycle implementation strategy if resources allow. Only our own creativity can hold us back. Are you ready to reimagine? 

 Our Purpose 

Our primary purpose is to educate all the people on the most scientific and technological evolutions in decision making, democracy, and empowering all people both before and at the ballot box by informing them with everything they could possibly need to know on making collective decisions.  Our educational media based infrastructure will be built as a hip, engaging, fun exciting, and be a useful resource that no one will want to go without when voting. We will always focus, on digging up all the back end details, for every political campaign including using all existing educational resources available, like follow the money.

Our second purpose will be on student education on civic engagement both within educational institutions, and as they grow up and are ble to engadge with societal decision making. This is especially important for any long term visions and goals for seeing our society evolve and emopwer all young people as they grow up.

Our third purpose will be especially engaging for all civic minded individuals who not only want to vote, but also want to be empowered to shape who is on and what our ballot looks like to begin with. Civic engagement does not start with voting, that is the end of the process, we collectively have the power to shape who and what is on the ballot, only our imagination holds us back.

Our goal is to utilize the most scientific and technologically advanced decision making modles to ensure that the will of the people is upheld in our elections. By offering engaging in collaborative cooperative community decision making utilizing advanced cardinal voting models (like score voting, star voting, approved voting) and adding demographic voting models and algorithms, we will be albe to get better and better at acruatley calculating and verifying the will of the people. Then we will help build campgains to ensure that the will of the people is upheald in elections and build long term institutional representation, disassociated from arbitrary deadlines, to ensure that the will of the people is stregnthened overtime outside of big money special interests control to reduce and prevent corruption and manipulation of the peoples decisions by lobbyists and corporate greed.

For collective community initiated campaigns, as well as for anyone who wants to start a campaign on anything, we offer political campaign sponsorship and support that will allow campaigns to focus on the people instead of on the taxes and government compliance paperwork. Getting a campiagn started can be daunting, espeically when facing $10,000's in fines for missing minor deadlines.

 Our Engagement Process 

Our media educational process is simple and replicable since there are dozens of organizations already doing that type of work. But our engagement and empowerment processes is unique and goes beyond what anyone is doing, so we will focus on that here.

How do we find the will of the people?  Our Process is actually quite simple, but it is infinitely scalable to many decision making rounds which results in a simplexity model. A similar approach is that instead of just looking at a single poll, which can be very skewed, we look at dozens if not hundred of polls to get scientifically and technologically accurate results in our community voting. Our goal is always to have consensus between all methods of decision making.

Our Process Steps:
Step 1: Nominations & Score Voting
Step 2: Verification of Results
Step 3: Support Top Contenders
Step 4: Continue Improving Data
Step 5: Raise More Resources & Funds
Step 6: Ensure the Will of the People Wn the Election
Step 7: Start over with Nominations for next Election Cycle

Step 1: Nominations & Score Voting

The most important part of finding the will of the people is using the most scientifically accurate decision making and voting structures, that focus on decision making and empowering all people, and remove manipulative models that support big money special interests and corrupt institutions or oligarchs. Currently the best technology that exists for decision making is Score voting, Star voting, Approved voting, Olympic voting with an added demographic equalizer, and multi level verification to ensure big money special interests are filtered. In the end our results are only as important as the peoples interest in supporting them. If our results are not verifiable and proven as the will of the people, then no one will believe our outcomes, and then our goals will not be achievable.

We also must consider both the short term and longer term election cycles, and this requires us to understand arbitrary deadlines, and how they don't serve the will of the people, and can even cause societal abusive election models where big money special interests have signifiant benefits. It is very simple to overcome this, we simply use different ranking scales based on various election modeling, for example; we can calculate different outcomes based on candidates running in this election or the next one, wether to have term limts or no incumbents, whether to include write-in candidates, or whether to consider spoiler effects in altering the short term election against the will of the people.

If our goal is to find out who the people support as the best candidate to run and get on the ballot, it is essential to rank all candidates, the best way to rank all possible candidates is by scoring them. We have an open nomination process, so anyone can nominate anyone else at anytime, therefore it is possible to have dozens if not hundreds of possible candidates to consider for putting on the ballot, espcially in the first rounds of voting. If you can only vote for one single candidate out of all the possible options the result is neither scientific, nor verifiable, nor helpful at all. 

Can you imagine how irrelevant Yelp would be if you could only vote for a single restaurant, no one would actually know what the best restaurants are, that is why when ranking anything including restaurants, the most accurate model is Star voting, or score voting depending on how you like to call it. Imagine how pointless rotten tomatoes would be if instead of a ranked % score for each movie, it just said 1 critic voted for it. Just like movies and restaurants, we must score our potential candidates and compare them together so we understand what we are dealing with at a scientific level. When ranking candidates our goal is that we achive 60%, 70%, 80%, even 90% support form the population. The idea of only getting 50% support or even less like a plurality is neither scientific, nor a functional model to run a democracy because it literally causes polarization because half the population becomes a looser, whereas in our model the goal is that 90% of the population collectively win together.

Step 2: Verification of Results

After we rank all possible candidates and give them a community score, then we consider the results and see if there is a scientifically statistically signifiant and verifiable option to have a single supported candidate. If the results can not be agree upon with statistical significance, then that can result in 2 or more candidates supported into the election. 

This is also where we verify and categorize votes from individuals. We will use all forms of technology for voting verification and this starts by understanding that the highest level of voting verifiaction to build integrety is seperating every form of voting and empowering all forms of voting to see if they are in alignment. The goal is always that every form of voting has the same result, that is the highest level of verification possible. Realistically it will be more irregular, and many times it wont be possible to verify an outcome and we will have to start over. But when everything is in alignment it will be very powerful. We will give many options for individuals to get their identity citified so that they vote can count at higher and higher levels of verification. 

In addition to our verification of the results, we use a demographic multiplier that ensures a true calculation to represent the overall population, not just the people who vote. For example if 100 Democrats Vote, and only 5 republicans, we would do a multiplier to ensure that the results are based on actual population demographics verified with the government registrations within the jurisdiction. This ensures that our results are always based on actual populations instead of just randomly on who happens to vote that day, week, or month.

Step 3: Support Top Contenders

Once a candidate or candidates are agree upon within our communal collaborative and cooperative decision making process, they will then be supported to get on the ballot, and build a collaborative campaign that always ensures the will of the people is the primary objective, not just winning. 

Our goal is never to just win regardless of the cost, our goal is always to make sure the will of the people is upheld. We always put democracy above stupidity, democratic empowerment is always our goal. If the will of the people in a specific community is electing an oligarch, then electing an oligarch is our goal of our campaign in that community. It is really that simple. Luckily we know that most communities don't want oligarchs, we want normal everyday people who represent the needs of the population. And what is so cool about our scientifically verifiable decision making model, is we can now prove that the people don't want oligarchs and corrupt officials. If we do this right, with enough recourses, this can have a huge impact on the elections.

Step 4: Continue Improving Data

Once all the candidates are on the official government ballot, we will continue to support and improve our outcomes for the will of the people, as it can change before election day. Unlike many media companies and organizations, we will always consider all write-in candidates, as well as potential future candidates in our model, so that our process always has long-term significance. We are always preparing for the next election.

Step 6: Raise More Resources & Funds

As the campaign evolves, it is just a matter of reinforcing the data to support the will of the people, then to raise resources, time and money, to make sure that whoever the will of the people want, that candidate(s) will be elected in the actual election where we are contending with big money special interests. There is no guarantee that the will of the people will win, that is why this model is so important, as this could tip the scales just enough in enough elections to make a difference. One day we could even do our best to change our electoral processes in government to ensure the that will of the people is always supported regardless of big money special interests lobbyists, and corporate greed. But for now we the people must stand up and take civic engagement into our own hands.

Step 7: Start over with Nominations for next Election Cycle

The process never stops, so we continually improve our methods, and continually prepare for the next election cycle. By engaging and supporting communities to build consensus around the best candidates, we can create a much more stable and functional government that actualy represents the will of the people, but this will take time over many election cycles. 

It is good to mention that for national elections, and global elections for that matter if they ever happen, we allow in our process the ability to nominate anyone regardless if they are dead or alive. This is because we want people to engage in our model and it helps to rank existing presidential candidates or parities relative to past presidents. National candidates can be very removed form the people, and therefore the more data available the better. 

Our systems and processes can always be improved and made better. Everyone is welcome to get involved and make proposals and continue to improve our work.

And of course if you know of any organization that is doing what we are doing, and functions OPEN and transparently where anyone can get involved in decision making, and has oversight and accountability for integrity, let us know, we can collaborate and work together. Unfortunately we haven't found anything like this yet, so we are building it ourselves.

 Our Structure 

We are not a single organization. We are a network of many different organizations, campaigns, candidates, and anyone who wants to join in implementing our models. Every type of campaign, its focus, an where it interacts within society, brings with it legal hurdles and differences that require different types of legally established entities to ensure we are following the law. For example a 501c3 public charity is legally not allowed to focus on legislative campaigns.  

Our primary purpose is educational in a media way. Most voters learn about elections through the media, specifically for-profit media companies, and therefore we want to match that excitement, engagement, and professionalism, and the only way we can do that is to build an educational multi-media company. Our educational media goals allow us to set up a social profit entity that is overseen by an equally empowered membership with primary control, but also allows for oversight of equity owners who can invest into the future of humanity. 

As a media company our primary income model will be advertising on our website, in our magazines, and on our internet video channels, and therefore we will have a rigerous screening process to ensure that all ads are politially neutral and have social integrety. Easier said than done, but we already will allow all political campaigns to have space to present themselves for free, and so it is just a matter of making sure ads are socially responsible. 

Besides media education, our secondry purpose will have a 501c3 public charity for student education in school programs that help teach and empower young adults and children on civic engadgement as they are growing up. These types of donations are tax deductable.

Of our third purpose of engagement and empowerment, we will have a political branch that will be non-profit, and file all necessary documentation with the Federal Elections Commission for all Political Committees and Campaigns. Any possible process that we as voters engage in that coul possibly effect the outcome of elections or the legislative process will be requird to be registered with elections commissions and ensure that all laws are followed. This is a rigorous process but essencial for transparency and legality. The only relationship betwen the active empowerment structures and the educational strutures is that the empowerment campaigns will be able to present their goals and outcomes to the public through the media company, just like every other political campaign. This also means that all campaigns funds that could possibly effect the outcome of elections will have to be donated separately from our educational branch funds. So when donating you will have to give seperatly to the different banches.
