Message from I Caucus about 3rd Parties.
We support this group and will have more from them. They have uncovered some important
information about the corrupt election system and have a plan that will work to break the cycle of incumbency.
Independence Caucus
A Citizen's movement to take back government from "Big Money" Interests groups
This is Frank Anderson one of the founders of I-caucus, and I would ask anyone who
disagrees with our policy on not endorsing 3rd party candidates to consider this:
Remember, not a single founding father wanted political parties, yet we saw 4 of the founders
- John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison - lead the
development of 2 parties into existence before Washington even completed his
first term.
Please Note: Those 4 founding fathers all wanted NO parties, but they immediately developed TWO parties...but not 3 or more parties.
Think about that: Why would that be? They wanted NO
parties...they could have set up as many parties as they wanted to...but they ended
up with just two.
Just like today...hmmm... Why would that be?
It's because of " Duvergers Law"
Bottom line: Whenever "50% of the vote plus 1 more" wins EVERYTHING, people will eventually coalesce around 2 parties
even when they DON'T want to do so...it's "Duvergers Law" and it's almost as unchangeable as gravity.
Does anyone here think we are collectively or individually smarter than Adams, Hamilton, Jefferson, or Madison?
No offense to anyone here, but I sure don't think so....and if
these 4 founding fathers couldn't figure out how to overcome "Duverger's Law" then I PROMISE you that no one in 2010 is going to be able to do so.
HOWEVER...we proved in 2008 that we CAN act as a caucus within the 2 existing parties, and we CAN root out the compromised incumbents
from WITHIN the party...and we CAN take back control of the party from the
RINO's.
We will do it in 2010 all over the country because of all of our members just like you.
To anyone who is unhappy with our policy: Are you saying that if YOU decided to run in a Republican primary,
and we got behind you and we helped ELECT you and sent you to
Washington...are you telling me you would somehow turn into someone who would be un-constitutional and fiscally irresponsible just because you won as a Republican or a Democrat?
Of course not. You would be as principled as you are right now...as principled as Jason Chaffetz is who we PROVED we could help elect in 2008, not as an independent candidate, but
as a Republican and now he is in Washington and he is NOT acting like a RINO...he is the most principled elected official sent to Washington in years.
Well, that's what we're
doing here...we're finding very good principled 3rd party candidates just like you...and we're going to help them win in the primaries and we're going to send them to Washington as
Republicans or Democrats ( we don't care which, because we don't care what party someone belongs to) where they can actually be constitutional and be fiscally responsible.
Meanwhile, those who insist on running as independent candidates and refuse to get serious about actually winning will all draw 2% to 3% of the vote (give or take 2 %) and be sitting
in their living rooms in 2011 not doing themselves or the nation any good.
Why would you choose to limit yourself like that when you can win instead?
The Founding Fathers couldnt help a 3rd party candidate win. I-caucus can not help a 3rd party candidate win. YOU cannot help any 3rd party candidates win.
Do you want more incumbents like Ron Paul, Jason Chaffetz, and Jim DeMint? Then welcome, we're going to accomplish just that.
