Time to clean House
Home    Details    About   

Who we are

We are independents, many from the Tea Party movement, disaffected Democrats and unhappy Republicans, who are going to Fire Fifty members of the House of Representatives in 2010.  The House needs some adult supervision.  With a 50 member independent caucus, we control the House of Representatives.

What we stand for

We agree on some core principles and agree to argue honestly on everything else.  We make the following commitments:

Ethics For the duration of our service, we swear that we will put our country and our cause ahead of everything but our family and our faith.
 
Fiscal Sanity We will restore fiscal sanity to the Federal government. We are going to wipe out 200 years of political back-scratching, corruption, fraud, waste, and abuse and put every program on a road to fiscal solvency or elimination.  We will spend fewer actual dollars in 2011 than DC does in 2010, and fewer in 2012 than in 2011.  We will be running a budget surplus within 5 years and we’ll pay off all of our national debts within 10 years after that.  Then we can give all of the money we used to spend on interest payments to wealthy foreigners back to the American taxpayer.
 
Fighting Smart We have soldiers on the field of battle, fighting and killing and dying for us everyday; we will not waste them.  We will fight smart and we will not jeopardize our warriors for political gain. We will approach our military and intelligence responsibilities as Americans, not party hacks and/or greedy corruptocrats.

Our Children We will not wait any longer to for DC to fix our schools.  We’ve lost two generations to the Big City Machine union/patronage systems masquerading as schools, and we are not losing one more child. 

Individual Rights We will advance the American ideal of individual liberties and we will not discriminate for or against any American.

Rule Of Law We are a nation of laws, and we will either enforce the law or change the law through the democratic process. When you reward illegal behavior, you get more illegal behavior.

For everything else, as a group we take no position.

Why we take no other positions as a group

Our core platform is why we run; our flexibility on all other issues reflects our humility and our practicality. We know that humans have much to be humble about, and we do not have all the answers.  We need to be able to successfully contest seats across the country:  West Coast to Northeast, Midwest, South and Rockies.  Particularly Democratic rural and suburban seats in the Midwest and North.   We leave the conservative Democrats(Blue Dogs) alone, leave most Republicans alone, and focus on districts where we can win, not just advertently help the incumbent win reelection.

We need candidates 

So, the time has come for some hard questions.  Are you a leader in one of the districts we’ve targeted?  We need you. 
Can you commit to our platform?  It’s a small set of American Revolutionary principles, starting with your ethical core.
Are you willing to work harder than you have every worked in your life?  We’ll work with you and for you, and we will finance your campaign.   
Can you pass the Franken standard for drugging, drinking, and whoring?  Yeah right.  That only works for Democrats; the media will look harder at you than they did at O.

Are you willing to stand up and shoulder this burden?  Will you honor the millions of Americans that have gone before you, and our countless descendents, and help us to rescue this great country of ours?

Our candidates need help

If you can’t run, can you commit to working to elect our fifty?  You have to start now, today, tonight!  The DC incumbent protection racket is a tough nut to crack, the Parties have stacked the deck against us;  we have to start working to defeat them now.  Contact potential candidates in your district and get them to run.  Adopt a candidate, whether you are in the district or not, and commit to helping them.  Organize, speak out, stand up!  Talk us up, write about our candidates; blog, tweet, write letters to the editor.  Make and distribute videos.  Stay on message and stick to the core principles.  Write for our wiki, become a District Coordinator.  Contact us, we can offer many suggestions and we need lots of help.

Think strategically - Stop the juggernaut

Here’s the hardest part:  we may call on you to support candidates that you disagree with on issues you hold dear.  They will be committed to our core principles, but on issues related to social mores, they may hold positions you oppose.  How can you support someone who you may disagree with on, for example, gay marriage?  That is very difficult, but we ask you to think strategically, with your eyes on the prize of stopping the "Progressive" destruction of the American Way of Life.  Better a fiscal conservative/ socially liberal independent than a fiscal drunken sailor/ social extremist Pelosi democrat. (Our apologies to drunken sailors).

Our fifty candidates will need money later; if you can’t help in any other way and you’re not poor, please support them financially. 

Your country calls.  Are you ready to stand up and be counted?
