Goal
Please take a couple minutes to learn about an exciting grass roots platform that is in the works, and how you can help to bring it to fruition:
Are you fed up with the establishment? Looking for a way to contribute to meaningful change that drains the swamp and returns America to the Constitutional republic it was meant to be? Don't bother giving to the RNC / DNC; you know where that road goes! This is the first of a 4-phase campaign to kickstart a game-changing platform that will make it easy for liberty-minded citizens to engage together and speak with one LOUD voice. We are building a platform that aims to collect the opinions of citizens and present them, publicly, in aggregate. We intend to make it impossible for our elected officials to ignore the will of the people and presume to tell us "what the American people want". Your vote deserves a voice - well in advance of your visit to the ballot box. This transparency and accountability is exactly what is needed to effectively connect legislative season to campaign season. This is about more than free speech; it's about the assembly of like-minded voices, and a means to engage, en masse, in a way that cannot be ignored. Disappointed with the state of the establishment, and frustrated with an inability to know how to make a difference? Liberty Contenders aims to be the platform we've all been waiting for!
This first of four phases of fundraising will provide support for early legal advice, entity formation, web development, and development of a prototype / mockup that will support later development efforts. Across all four phases of fundraising, we are looking to raise between $500k - $1M to build and deploy our alpha version in Pennsylvania, which will be a test bed for adoption by grass roots patriots in other states.
Beyond our initial release, we are envisioning a platform that provides 7 key areas of functionality to compel our elected officials to defend our liberties and to be accountable to We the People:
1) A tool that reports positions of elected officials on bills and issues in a clear, unambiguous way. It will not be possible to re-frame the issue, injecting confusion. Those who do not wish to be clear in this manner can opt not to answer. The platform will reflect a "no response" designation.
2) An "Intake" form to vet elected officials, candidates, and volunteers.
3) A InfoPage that aggregates score cards from prominent organizations to make it easy to see who your elected officials *really* are. Endorsements of candidates that are deemed to be "liberty" candidates.
4) A means for members to effectively organize, plan, and publicize rallies, meetings, and events, and to share strategies to grow their grass roots ranks.
5) A means for members of the site to have uncensored threaded discussions about candidates, issues, events, etc.
6) A means for supporting citizen journalists, including the intake of relevant stories, and the distribution of those stories.
7) Aggregation and presentation of advocacy for liberty-minded causes, including support for businesses that support liberty, as well as providing visibility of businesses that compromise the interests of liberty and Conservative principles; For example, support of companies that the Left aims to cancel, such as Chick-Fil-A, Hobby Lobby, and My Pillow, or organized opposition of companies that oppose liberty and Conservatism, such as CocaCola, Disney, etc.
The platform will be developed in a manner that enables distributed administration. This will enable improved relevance at the federal, state, and even local level. It will also provide a means of gaining support for the ongoing administrative needs of the platform at each of those levels.
Donors who support phase 1 of this campaign with at least a $1000 donation are eligible for an additional equity stake which will be opened during phase 2. In any case, give what you can to this cause, follow our progress, and share the heck out this campaign to help us reach our shared goal of preserving freedom and liberty for our posterity.
