Americans Elect
Have you heard about this? Saw it last night. A group of people have organised, and are planning on having an alternative 'virtual' convention, in 2012. You can go on their website, and sign up to be a delegate. They are currently filing papers in 21 states, to get their candidate on the ballot in 2012. They have to wait till next year to file papaers in the other 29 states.
Then delegates wil nomonate candidates, and select a candidate to be the candidate for this 'third party', (although its not REALLY a 'third party'), they say it will truly be a candidate selected by 'the people'.
I haven't even gone to their website, yet to check it out, but will be shortly.
As a delegate, you can participate in a poll, regarding your views on major issues, and the results will be used to write a platform.
As they are doing the difficult work of getting on ballots in all 50 states, wondering if this might be something that could be used, in conjuction with what you are talking about, Rick. Jim
