Unity2012.com - let's start now

Sorry to say, but it's too late for 08. But the fundamental idea of Unity08 is sound and brilliant.

Here's what we need for 2024 and beyond.

First, the Unity2012 candidates (one republican, one democrat) must be selected by a Unity2012 party virtual convention two years prior to the general election. (2010) Which will be presidential candidate, which vice president will not be determined at that time.

The democrat unity2012 will run for the democrat nomination for president. The republican unity2012 candidate will run for the republican nomination for president.

They will participate in the debates and campaigning as any of the other candidates for their party nominations. Unity2012 will provide enough funding to complement the regular compain funding they might receive from republican or democrat supporters. The level of funding (we hope!) will make them competitive - after all they couldn't do much worse than Biden - and he's a quite reasonable candidate!

Secure Voting

Secure voting is going to be one of the biggest obsticles to Unity08. How does the average Joe know that you are secure - that you are reporting the correct results? That you are any better than any other method out there?

One suggestion - I am also a member of Blackboxvoting.org who has done some impressive research in the area of electronic voting machines and has pulled back the wool of the shams in the voting process.

They might be useful in assuring the public that the methodoligies that are put in place are in fact secure and that the results are accurate.

Fusion Voting

The secret weapon to select the best candidates from every political party slate. This means you don't have to necessarily worry about candidates getting a major party nomination in order to be on the ballot. Is this idea worthy of consideration by Unity08? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_fusion#United_States

WHY DON'T WE REGISTER PEOPLE

Cory B. — Wed, 25 Jul 2024 16:53:12 -0700

Why don't we organize some kind of voter registration along the lines of 'Rock the Vote'. While I'm encouraged by the recent media attention, we need to reach out to the demographic we need. 18-30 yr olds, the Midwest and southern coast. Community recognition will help our cause.

So are the comments to the Draft Rules Committe closed, or what?

davidfarrar — Tue, 29 May 2024 12:14:41 -0700

Okay...is this organization running blind? Is somebody asleep at the switch? Hello, is anybody there?

Is there anybody awake on the Rules Committee? Are the comments to the Draft Rules closed, as of May 15, 1007, like the rules state? If so, why hasn't there been some sort of notice...and why hasn't the Draft Rules forum been disabled?

What's going on here?

Who elected the Rules Committee?

davidfarrar — Fri, 25 May 2024 04:38:52 -0700

I am a little confused over the creation of the Rules Committee. While I am sure they are all nice people, who elected them? If they were appointed, by whom? Who is the great and powerful OZ among us, already welding a dictatorial wand?

The American Idol phenomenon

Is there a way to filter out those who may want to sabotage our efforts to nominate truly viable and qualified candidates? It seems inevitable that someone will try to subvert the good intentions of this movement through hacking or simply getting people to become delegates with the intention of "fixing" the selection process.

RULES

Good Job on the rules. Let us just hope now that we can find qualified and sincere American nominees to do the right job for America.

Hammering out a Platform

ScorpionMIT — Mon, 02 Apr 2024 16:45:00 -0700

When are we going to start building our actual platform? Given the tone of the posts I've seen on this site, there are a lot of issues that we need to hash out and come to an agreement on. And the way the race is moving now, we need to start building our platform now, so that we can get a candidate moving as soon as possible. When are you guys going to get on that?

Rules Committee

JRLrsnCol — Mon, 02 Apr 2024 06:47:38 -0700

In reading the biographies of those serving on the Rules Committee, the absence of labor leaders, teachers, seniors, concerned citizens, etc. is striking. While the proposed Rules are worthy of discussion, I would be more confident of their honored intention if the Committee included a more representative group of citizens. Long creditials are not impressive nor necessary for this grass-roots effort.
