Our America Initiative
   
THE OUR AMERICA INITIATIVE’S PURPOSE IS SIMPLE, YET VITAL: TO REDEFINE THE LIBERTY MOVEMENT IN AMERICA. WE AIM TO RESTORE LIBERTY, PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND ECONOMIC FREEDOM AS THE TRUE AMERICAN VALUES, TO COEXIST AS INDIVIDUALS WHO RESPECT THE RIGHTS AND SANCTITY OF ALL PERSONS, TO FOSTER AN ENVIRONMENT THAT ALLOWS EACH PERSON TO PURSUE HIS OR HER INDIVIDUAL DREAMS AND HAPPINESS WITHOUT THE BURDENS OF UNNEEDED GOVERNMENT RESTRICTIONS.

Our America’s new video

Just weeks before the 2012 election, the nonpartisan Pew Research Center released a poll showing that only 54% of American voters were satisfied with their “choices” for President.  A full 40% said they were NOT satisfied.


Is it possible that a significant reason for this dissatisfaction was, simply, that a great many Americans didn’t realize who their choices were?  And is that any surprise, given that the Republican and Democrat parties have gone to extraordinary lengths to convince American voters that their candidates are the only real options, despite the fact that more people consider themselves to be independents than Republicans and Democrats combined?


Letting America know that there are more choices begins with the presidential debates.  You can help here: Our America’s Debate Challenge


The most powerful weapon the two “major” parties use to exclude other candidates from serious consideration is their Commission on Presidential Debates.  Yes, that “Commission”, regardless of its official-sounding name, is theirs.  It was created in 1987 by the Republican and Democrat national parties, and is a private organization funded by special interests and run by a board of — you guessed it — Republicans and Democrats.  There is nothing nonpartisan about it, and they have made no secret of their desire to keep anyone other than their own two nominees OFF the debate stage.
As part of our mission to make truly small government and greater individual Liberty part of the nation’s dialogue, the Our America Initiative is mounting an aggressive campaign to break up the Republican-Democrat control of the nationally-televised presidential debates.  Allowing other qualified and credible candidates on the debate stage will dramatically alter the political and policy landscape — and we are committed to making that happen.


Our America has just released an Internet video as part of this campaign. Check it out here: Change the Presidential Debates, and share with your friends.


Our effort is two-fold. First, we are challenging the Commission on Presidential Debates in court, and second, we plan to inform and mobilize people from all over the country to let debate sponsors, the news media and others know that allowing the two “major” parties to control the all-important debates is simply not fair — and not acceptable.


To kick this campaign off, the Our America Initiative must raise $50,000 — soon. Please go to Our America’s Debate Challenge today and help us reach that goal. This is a fight we can win, but only with your help.


P.S.  Don’t forget to share our debate challenge video with your friends, and go to Our America’s Debate Challenge today to help.
