Welcome to Vote 99%

We will pick and elect our own candidates. We are building a national movement to restore the U.S. House of Representatives to its original constitutional purpose, which is to represent the interests, needs, and desires of the Citizens of this great country.

Instead of representing us, it has become a representative of the interests of foreign governments, foreign citizens, our politicians, our military, our government, big business, the global elite, the WEF, the WHO, and basically everyone except us.

We can win control of the US House of Representatives in November, taking about 92% of the seats with no expense, no fundraising, no campaigning, very little effort, and there is nothing the political establishment can do to stop us.

We want to replace every politician in the House of Representatives with an actual representative of the working class. Someone who knows hard work, raising a family, and what it takes to just survive in today’s world. 

We need 435 courageous citizens to run for office this year. The minimum age is 25 years old and the pay is $174,000 plus benefits. No political experience needed or wanted, but you must be a registered voter. Candidates for each district will be listed by their sign up date, so don't hesitate.

If you can help our mission, but are not interested in running for office, please volunteer!

What you need to do to be our candidate to represent your congressional district in the U.S.House of Representatives.

This is a movement to create a new electoral system for the people, by the people, and of the people. This new system would operate in parallel with the existing corrupt, money-based political-party system, rather than trying to topple or change the existing broken system. Politicians can continue to sell their souls to their lobbyists and corporate donors.

We will have an open primary for all registered voters and use ranked choice voting (RCV) to select our nominees. There will be no fundraising or paid advertising allowed for campaigns. Every registered voter is automatically a member of our organization. True democracy cannot be bought or sold.

It is disillusioning for most of us to see all the obstacles to change. We need to show a clear path forward, or no one will take it. Our overall mission of this movement is simply to replace all the politicians in the US Congress and executive branch of our government with working class citizens and to permanently end the need for, and the influence of, money in our representative democracy.

We will end all financing, arming, and fighting other countries and focus on investing in the future of the United States of America. The fiscal irresponsibility of our rulers is insane. We are irreversibly headed for serious financial difficulties, and we will need to build our way out of this deep abyss.

We are proposing replacing politics, not government. The House and Senate would function normally, except they would be us and would actually be working for us. I also want to make it perfectly clear that this movement is not anti-business. A lot of people today are blaming all our problems on either capitalism or socialism. I am pretty sure that a majority of responsible businesses in the U.S. value their workers and their families and would like to have global peace, prosperity, economic growth, responsible government, and a reliable, happy, motivated, workforce. The business community should be “encouraged” to stand up to our politicians and demand responsible economic behavior from our government.

We need to set aside our other differences today. After we put people in power, we can get to work on having rational debates for fixing our problems. I think we can all agree on the basic principles of bringing our money home to rebuild and grow our own economy and eliminate our corrupt political system.

Our Federal Government is just a bunch of mindless puppets controlled by the ruling class. Our disgust with our federal elected officials has reached an epic level. According to a recent poll, 70% of voters want to change or topple the existing system. By November, that number could reach 90%.

There has never been and will never be again, the desire by the electorate to get rid of everyone in congress, as there is today. Everyone I’ve spoken with lately is disgusted by these crooks.

Voters need to understand that donating to any political party or any politician is exactly as effective as throwing your money directly into the trash bin. Voters should stop donating to politicians and their parties. If only lobbyists and corporate donors contributed to politicians, this would permanently end all political corruption. Their donors will vanish when their bought candidates are soundly defeated by the people. We can replace politics with actual democracy.

Politics is a money laundering operation. Don’t give it money and it will die. We can’t beat them playing by their rules. They can’t beat us, playing by our rules. 

Phase 1 – Systems Implementation

Before we build anything, we need to agree on what we are building. This is not intended as or trying to get recognition as a political party. It is quite the opposite and has no political ideology. We are just citizens on all sides of all aisles looking for a sane future for our families and for humanity.

The proposed system is simply a website and database of non-politicians who are running for election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2024. If this is successful, we will expand to Senate seats in 2026 and the presidency in 2028. Our interest in state and local political issues is limited to those directly affected by Federal government policy and behavior.

For security reasons, only the public data fields from our master database will be exported to a static read-only online file and there will be no log-in required for anyone to view and search the data and candidate profiles.

A DM feature is planned to securely and privately message candidates along with a “community notes” feature for public comments to or about a candidate. These comments will be carefully reviewed before being posted online. There will also be a section for candidates to file or update their profile information and their intent to seek the nomination for a particular office

Phase 2 – Candidate Outreach

Our no-cost media strategy is based on using any or all social media platforms and local newspaper and local TV. We can flood the newspaper opinion pages with warnings about where we are heading and the growing public support for our alternative political system and possibly get the news publishers and news producers to do stories on our unusual movement and help us find our unusual candidates. We can provide templates for the various opinion pieces that our supporters can use in their communities, with links to our website.

If the public media tries to suppress our movement, we will hit them with a federal lawsuit and blast them on social media.

Phase 3 – Exploratory Campaigns

When someone decides they want to run for office, it technically becomes an exploratory campaign to see if they have enough support to launch an independent campaign for election to that office. They can enlist their friends, relatives, and neighbors as volunteers to help spread the word using the same media strategy as in phase 2.

There is no fundraising, travel, public events, campaigning, or other work to do. You can set up social media accounts or a website for your campaign, but that is not required for our candidates. Any candidate that asks for donations, other than for office supplies, internet, and other utilities, and filing fees, or who buys media advertising or hires paid campaign workers, is a politician and will be removed from our people’s candidate database. When you don’t take donations, there is no government filing required, other than to file your intent with us. If anyone else files, at least one round of RCV voting takes place to determine if you have enough support to be our nominee for that seat.

Phase 4 – RCV Nomination Voting

The date of our RCV state primaries will be determined based on the closing dates for ballot access for each state. States with later closing dates will have more time to recruit candidates. This may seem like a long shot, but there is about a 70% chance of our chosen candidates winning in November, if things keep going as they are. If you are the only non-politician filed with us for this seat, you are automatically our nominee.

For 2 to 5 candidates, there will be one round of voting. In any race, if the winning candidate declines to continue their campaign, the next place candidate wins the nomination or the round. For each round of voting, approximately 2/3 or more of the candidates will be eliminated until there are 5 or fewer remaining for the last round.

Phase 5 – Ballot Access for Nominated Candidates

Once we have our nominations, we need to get them on the ballot, either as an independent candidate or as a write-in candidate. We need to check with the Sec of State in each state to get the current rules for all federal candidates. From Ballotpedia - 10 states don’t allow write-ins, 31 states require filing candidacy forms for write-in votes to count. Petitions and fees are typically not required.

Using write-in votes substantially reduces our efforts to get on most of the states ballots, with over 89% of the House seats. Getting enough signatures for the rest of the states as independent candidates shouldn’t take too much effort.

Phase 6 – Candidate Campaigns

This is not the time or place for our candidates to inject their own ideology and take positions on divisive issues. We need to keep pushing our anti-establishment, pro-future, multi-media campaign, otherwise we risk losing voters.

Phase 7 – Public Demonstrations

After the party conventions are done and their candidates are selected, we should quietly promote continuous public demonstrations and general strikes throughout September and October.

Phase 8 – Election

After the ballot access phase is complete, we will provide a PDF file, in business card format, that lists the non-politician candidate for your district. You can print out copies and give cards to everyone else in your neighborhood. You can take these with you into the voting booth.
