There is a lot of discussion amongst the people that are just in the backgroud waiting for something to happen. We are (as you said) upset with the political process that has becoming worse with each election. We want to do something and Unity08 can give us something to make happen. But our concern is that the most important thing that needs to be done (In our humble viewpoint) is to start talking more about a statement of process (rather than calling it a platform). It is important to know where we stand. Just saying that we are for a change in politics does not get us excited. But to develope a list of things that could happen is too broad. We find with the candidates that have a plan for universal health care is that they really only scratch the surface. It will not work because there are too many issues. But if we could get a process of discussion to outline the issues and talk about them. We could then open dialogue that would show how we (as a group) or our candidates (with an clear agenda) would handle major issues rather than make blind promises. Mr. Milligan on a blog states that there are a lot of centrist politicians that could be willing to address issues in an open way and set up the framework for a process. Let's do something.

Thank you in advance for helping us. I am anxious to hear as much as I can about your vision.

My faith in UNITY08 and Doug is unshakable - I have one concern : making sure when our people get in to the White House, we have a system in place to make sure the unfriendly members of congress - have no alternative but to co-operate on getting the right Bills to the Floor and Passed in a timely fashion ..

IPSO FACTO : My Plan to get every candidate for Office and Sitting Member of Congress to Sign A Written/Notarized Pledge To The American Voters - BY THE END OF 2024, Early 2024 ..

I ............ do solemnly swear I recognize the Peoples Legal Right and Responsibility To Control My Conduct In Office, further that I shall abide by any Legally Constituted Peoples Mandate For Political Reform.

Signed : _____________ Date :

Notarized : Date :

Bob, Here we have to break new ground - by pointing out there is overwhelming evidence that candidates for office and re-election will promise anything to get elected or re-elected ; then consistently fail to deliver once in office ..

Therefore it's imperative for the Voters, to have some tangible assurance that the people they vote for will - keep their word and abide by the Constitution once elected ..

The real purpose of course : is to have Documents that tell us who and how many members we can pressure into co-operating with our Executive Branch to pass the needed bills for Critical Political Reforms ..

Please don't tell me this is impossible : if Steptoe and Johnson are worth their salt - they can come up with a cause of action to make it happen !!

Bob, Robert, we all know - we can have the Best Agenda in the World BUT THE AMERICAN VOTING PUBLIC KNOW unless we can show WE HAVE A LEGAL TOOL TO GET THINGS DONE IN CONGRESS .. our plans will not be taken seriously ..

Finally, I contend there are now solid legal grounds for Registered Voters to Demand Such Declarations : The Elections Of 2024 were won by The Democratic Party On Commitments to End Partisanship and The Paralysis It Created In Government - They not only broke their promises to the Voter - They've Made Things a Damn Sight Worse !!

If Steptoe and Johnson can't do something with that - we need to get new Lawyers.

I beseech you Robert as the NEW CEO, make this one of your first acts in office : Sit with our Lawyers - explain my idea and position THEN ASK THEM TO FIND A WAY TO DO IT ...

I'm not a Lawyer - but I've run businesses dealing in commercial and military affairs - Foreign and Domestic, I prepared the cases for my corporations - the Lawyers prepared the briefs from my presentation of the facts and arguments, in almost every case - the issues were settled out of court in our favour ... NOT A BRAG - A Fact Of Life !

I admit - like I said : sometimes you have to break new ground to do what's right !!

Anyway again - Welcome aboard give my regards to Doug, Steve, Natt, Will and Anya : Let's start kicking some butt !!

By the way - I issued my own press release (I'm read in 15 Countries)
Click on Today's Posting www.america-21stcentury.com the scroll back a few - you'll know me better than I know myself

…I note your arrival with a glimmer of hope.

>I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution
>Take a bow for the new revolution

I have also read your bio at: http://www.linkedin.com/in/gliderking

>Smile and grin at the change all around
>Pick up my guitar and play
>Just like yesterday

…but I also have a large degree of skepticism. Why? We were promised post-by-post voting “soon” - a year ago. Last November, we were told of a “best in breed website in early 2024.” We have also been told to be satisfied with a nebulous “centrist agenda” as our mission, instead of being a true grass-roots movement – a catalyst for true reform - by actually STANDING for something.

>Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
>We don’t get fooled again

It says you have been with Unity’08 for a year and one month already. Have you really been tasked as CEO, or did Mr. Bailey and Mr. Rafshoon merely give you a title bump while they continue to call the shots?

>Meet the new boss
>Same as the old boss…?

Time will tell.
I’ll stay tuned - for now.

A while ago I talked about a possible link-up between Unity08 and Michael Bloomberg - and it didn't generate much buzz, even when I linked to an article by Eleanor Clift suggesting the same thing.

At the time I stated my opinion that Clift sourced her story from somewhere - and that she wouldn't have run such a boldly speculative article without solid sourcing; no seasoned D.C. journalist would print such a thing without ironclad attribution.

Forget your distaste for the mainstream media for a moment; in the post-Dan Rather era, a pro journalist like Eleanor Clift cross-checks every source in a story before it ever makes print.

Here is the article:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18355633/site/newsweek/

Suddenly Bloomberg is revoking his republican party membership - and at the same time, Unity08 is installing a new operations team; a team that is skewed heavily toward marketing/re-branding/fundraising expertise.

Doug Bailey "fired" himself, and then Jerry Rafshoon and Bailey hand-picked a management team that has (by their own admission) negligible political experience.

Ask yourself why marketing people would develop a sudden attraction for a virtually moribund political movement with a soft and largely uninspired membership base (and forget the spin about 60,000 delegates - that number has nothing to do with any sort of viable "active" membership; the actual number of committed delegates has to be much lower).

Unity08 tried to brand itself as an idea; advocating a sort of logical positivism for empirical bipartisan political discourse, and it didn't work.

Given the current circumstances, what growth/fundraising tactics are left for a self-stated movement of the disenfranchised center - when that demographic is greeting the current marketing campaign with a studied indifference?
If you can't recruit with the current generalized formula, then you must recruit with some other form of hook.

I'm betting that Bloomberg is the hook.

And ask yourself this: why would a RINO (Rafshoon)and a borderline DINO (Bailey)risk putting time, money, effort, and reputation into founding an organization that could possibly produce a ticket that was an anathema to their personal political views? There isn't much in Bloomberg's political resume to get them riled. And he has the ability to spend a buck or two for the cause. That ability gives him time that the declared candidates don't have.

Think about everything that is happening, and draw your own conclusions.

I am an Independent leaning left. I just heard Ron Paul on NPR and he sounds so close to all my ideas about our world. Please notify him he would be a good candidate for Unity 08!!

I just got this newsletter:

Politics is serious business. But, we can have fun with it too! This week, Unity08 founder Doug Bailey will appear on Comedy Central’s "The Colbert Report" with Stephen Colbert.

Please take ten minutes to set your DVR, VCR or TiVo to catch Doug’s appearance on Thursday, June 28 at 11:30pm ET. If you can’t record it, check it out online. We know you’ll really enjoy it!

Last week, we got hundreds of emails welcoming our new CEO, Robert Bingham, to Unity08. Some of you used your ten minutes on Tuesday to let Robert know about your ideas for building Unity08. Thanks for taking the time to welcome Robert and to give him your honest feedback about our movement.

Thanks again,

Co-Chair & Founder

I'm sorry I signed up for serious politics and in return get comedy central appearances. I think there are some good ideas here but... actions speak louder than words. If the best media outlet overage we can get is a comedy central appearance then I am calling it quits early after recently signing on. Call it more of the "I'm fed up with the way things are syndrome."
I have removed myself from future mailings and will no longer be part of the process here. Best of luck to you all.

Well said popo!

Unity08 does actively seek opportunities to take part in political and mainstream media. I firmly believe that our community also has an influence over what a show might cover, so I encourage everyone to reach out to their favorite local and national shows to inform them about the movement. Feel free to have them to contact us via press@unity08.com.
