Hey Everybody,
As part of Occupy Politics we have been talking a lot about ways of getting dirty money out of elections, but nothing much has come of it. But with other groups there is a lot going on.
To do this a group has started a new organization called the No Dirty Money Elections Committee (NOD$E). Main Pad: http://titanpad.com/CandidateSupportCommittee (Draft Website: www.NODSE.org)
The first National Meeting will be this Sunday April 15th, 2012 at 7pm PST, 8pm EST
Call in phone #: (530) 881-1400 Access: 492694
Main Pad:
Although we would like to get all money out of politics, to have any ability to counter balance the unbelievable amounts of dirty money, we need to at least of some money. The NOD$E Committee functions to support any candidate running on a "NO-direct-money" Campaign anywhere in the United States. In this way, Candidates can relinquish control of money but will also have access to some money for basic costs like filing fees, transportation, and basic campaign outreach materials.
This Committee can functions as a "Leadership National Political Action committee", and anyone can get involved in decision making, or to register as a no-money candidate. Currently there is just one candidate involved, which is myself. The committee will function somewhat like a "Candidate COOP", but Candidates have to relinquish control of the Funds and Campaign decision Making.
This is just one of many strategies that are going on to help get dirty money out of politics. An other national group forming called: Get Money Out of Politics (GMOP) has some other strategies.
There is also http://BeYourGovernment.org that came out of Occupy Sabastapol. This is a slate of candidates who pledge not to take corporate contributions and only represent people.
There is more information about getting involved with this committee bellow.
Thanks so much for your work,
Jay
