Call to Action

There is no doubt that we have been in campaign mode for the 2012 elections for longer then we need to be.  The battle lines have been drawn by both major political parties at the expense of the American people, and even though poll after poll shows that the American public is tired of the BS, we the American people keep allowing it to happen.  Why?

Why do we keep picking sides; Republican or Democrat instead of saying NO to either one of them?  With polls ranging from 60% – 80% against both parties (Congress & the President specifically) that is enough people to elect an independent party to shake things up.  Most importantly those disfranchised Americans will have such a large voice to scream, “Enough is Enough,” and “Vote them Out”, that both big parties will realize they need to change how they operate and who they represent.

The biggest group that has been screaming the loudest in recent times is the Occupy movement, but their own failures keeps them from being a valid concern in this election cycle.  In fact, most of the loudest voices from the group actually support not voting, total Anarchy, etc., everything against the current political system which actually gives the Demarcates and the Republicans more power.  Those two groups have been working against the disfranchised in American for years.  Catering to their core base and working hard to get the core to vote, not working for the disfranchised to vote.  Therefore, what Occupy wants, which is a major change in our political system, will not happen because they will not vote to make the change happen.

This is an opportunity for the Independents to work together as a coalition uniting their members and becoming a major political force in American politics.  But do they have the guts and will power to make that happen or will they succumb to their own self interest and remain futile and just an annoyance to the two party system?

Americans for Common Ground has chosen to take on the two big parties by working with the various independent parties to create and motivate a coalition that can take on the big two for local elections during 2012 and for the presidency in 2016. 

In order to accomplish this, future politicians who truly understand who they work for; the American public, must also be willing to find and work within common ground that helps everyone, thus the majority of Americans not corporate America.  They must be willing to sacrifice their own personal interest of a political career for the betterment of Americans.  Another way of putting it would be this: An independent political person willing to work for his country for low wages only for the sole purpose of representing those who elected him to make our country strong and respected for the right reasons in the worlds eyes.

No politician should be getting elected to office so they can line their pockets with greed at the expense of the American public.  Now is there someone strong enough to take on that challenge?  We at Americans for Common Ground believe there is and we look forward to finding that person and introducing them to America.
