OVERVIEW

Nov 4, 2024 – My second visit to the ICU, and ironically, the day before the last presidential election.

 

The universe didn’t just prevent my vote – it drafted me into their damn war.

 

Tubes, LEDs, wires, machines, pumps, alarms beeping – I realized two shocking truths:

 

  • I had been assimilated by the BORG, and...

 

  • Our Democracy is also on Life-support… but, this time, there are no pretty nurses coming to save us.

 

It was like the universe slapped me in my face and screamed, “Hey dick-wad... get off your fucking Ass!” (This wasn't the first time the universe called me a dick-wad.)

 

  • It stripped away every delay, every “I’ll start right after this next puppy video”, and...

 

  • If I don’t launch this plan right now, everything I’ve built (the message, strategy, resources) – dies with me.

 

Because, unlike Congress, I don’t have decades to waste doing nothing.

 

EVERYONE IS SCREAMING - NOTHING'S CHANGING

 

We Don’t need another Protest… we need Fair Elections.

 

There are a gazillion news outlets and commentators screaming at each other every day.

 

  • Foaming at the mouth.
  • Hurling garbage at each other.

 

And what has all this rage accomplish? NOT ONE DAMN THING.

 

Reset America cuts through all this bull shit and attacks the core problem... Unfair Election Laws that Prevent Competition.

 

I'm Fighting Beside You.

 

We’re in this together. I’m not above you or lecturing you. This is me - unfiltered, no crap.

 

Our 2 party monopoly is a slow-motion dumpster-fuck, and I refuse to describe it politely. It’s time for harsh honesty.

 

Are you:

 

  • Enraged
  • Exhausted
  • Disgusted?

 

Good!

 

Reset America is born from the same stress, rage and shocking disbelie that you feel every day.

 

WE'RE IN THIS TOGETHER

 

Thank you for reading this. I wouldn’t have invested so much time, money (and sanity) unless I believed you would fight alongside me.

 

I’ve risked everything knowing one truth about the American People - when it matters…

 

  • WE SHOW UP.
  • WE DON’T BACK DOWN.

 

NO CAVALRY IS COMING

 

  • No one is coming to save us.
  • No Magical Wave of Integrity is going to wash over Congress.

 

It’s Just You and Me.

 

  • Want a Real Democracy?

We Must Build it.

 

  • Want Honest Elections?

We Must Force them.

 

  • Want this to Succeed?

We Must to Pay for it.

 

IT MUST BE US.
IT MUST BE NOW.

 

A SYSTEM THIS BROKEN HELPS

 

The fact that our election system is this broken is actually very good news – because systems this polluted are easier to replace than repair.

 

When a building collapses, you don’t repaint the walls. You build something better. Maybe even extraordinary.

 

THE 2-PARTY SCAM EXPOSED

 

Congress has a comical 95% re-election rate with a miserable 10% approval rating.

 

  • It’s even worse than the former Soviet Politburo, who we once called “corrupt beyond belief.”
  • Now we hold that title.

 

Congrats Congress!

You always say, “competition is great for everyone,” but you fight like raccoons in a dumpster full of cocaine to prevent it for yourselves.

 

THE ROOT PROBLEM

 

The root cause of ALL OUR PROBLEMS comes from the same source. That is, Congress gets to pass their own laws… The most dangerous of which are our Election Laws.

 

  • And it's all legal – because they granted themselves Absolute Immunity.

 

  • This allows them to commit crimes that would send you and I to pick-up trash in orange jumpsuits.

 

This is the Most Blatant example of Conflict of Interest. We’re suing Congress. Why not join our suit?

 

THE SPOILER EFFECT

 

Their Secret Weapon

 

The Spoiler Effect forces voters into the same trap every election:

 

  • We DON'T vote for who we WANT.
  • We VOTE AGAINST who we want LESS or the world will end.

 

It’s a psychological trap that is purposely designed to keep the same Career Politicians in power – FOREVER.

 

  • That’s not voting.
  • That’s the Lessor of Two Evils.

 

THEIR PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAP

 

It’s the political version of an Abusive Relationship:

 

  • "If you leave me, bad things will happen.”
  • “Don't even think of supporting someone else.”
  • “It's your fault if things get worse.”

 

This is how the 2-party monopoly keeps power forever:

 

  • No Choices.
  • No Competition.
  • No Accountability.
  • ONLY FEAR.

 

RANKED VOTING MUST COME FIRST

 

This is why Ranked Voting MUST come first.

 

 

  • Without it, we will NEVER be able to elect someone who is not a Democrat or Republican… FOREVER.

 

Politicians will tell you it’s “complicated”… but it’s not.
(Yeah, they lie… can you believe it?)

 

  • You rank your choices.
  • If your first choice loses, your vote moves to your next choice.
  • As soon as a candidate gets a majority of the vote (50% or higher) the counting is over.

 

THAT’S IT!

 

  • No Delays
  • No “Wasted Votes”
  • No “Lesser-of-two-evils”
  • No “Holy Shit, I just got the other side elected!”

 

THEIR WORST NIGHTMARE

 

So, if Ranked Voting is so great… why don't we use it? Simple.

 

  • Both parties are TERRIFIED of it.
  • I mean... "shitting in their pants" TERRIFIED.

 

If Ranked Voting passed in the morning, both parties would collapse by lunch.

 

3 CHANGES WE MUST MAKE – NOW

 

  • Term Limits – to end Career Politicians and the Lessor of Two Evils.

 

  • Ranked Voting – to end the Spoiler Effect.

 

  • Equal Rules – to give 3rd parties a chance to Compete Fairly.

.

Voters are pleading for 3rd parties, but the public must understand that the rules are completely different for outsiders. How else can they achieve their ridicules 95% re-election rate with the lowest approval ratings in history?

 

The parties pretend to fight each other while they work hand-in-hand to rig our election laws to intentionally prevent competition.

 

Most people think signatures are the only barrier – not even close. Incumbents have Countless Unfair Advantages (both unethical and illegal), all protected by absolute immunity.

 

(Smoke-em if you got-em.)

 

REFORMS VOTERS ALREADY WANT

 

80% of voters are already on board. Are you sure we’re as “polarized” as they want us to believe?

 

  • Luckly, we don’t need to convince anyone of anything they already know.

 

  • We are merely offering a realistic plan to give voters what they already know we need.

 

But although voters overwhelmingly support these reforms, they still don’t know:

 

  • All the benefits of Term Limits
  • All the benefits of Ranked Voting
  • All the benefits of Equal Laws

 

Check out all our written documents if you have the desire to vomit.

 

OUR GOALS ARE OPPOSITE

 

People say that politicians are not doing their job. This is another Top 10 Mistaken Belief.

 

The truth is their job is to get re-elected… and they achieve this like Olympic athletes.

 

They think:

 

  • “Why should we do anything different?”
  • “Our re-election rate can only go down from here.

 

The problem is that your Goals and Congress’ Goals are not the same.

 

CONGRESS WORKS EXACTLY AS DESIGNED

 

Congress can OPENLY sell us out because:

 

  • They know they’ll win re-election no matter what they do.
  • So, they have zero incentive to do the right thing.

 

Congress DOES NOT respond to:

 

  • The Truth
  • The Constitution
  • Your Suffering

 

Congress DOES respond to:

 

  • Whatever keeps their re-election rate at 95%.
  • That is Power & Money.

 

THE RESET PLAN

 

Created in Reality

 

Obviously, Congress will never pass these reforms voluntarily… but fortunately…

 

  • We’re not relying on DECENCY.
  • We’re relying on REALITY.

 

We will use the same corrupt practices Congress uses. In other words, we will buy their votes the same way lobbyists buy votes.

 

  • We’re not Fighting Corruption with MORALITY.
  • We’re Fighting it with BETTER CORRUPTION.
  • (Along with a micro dose of Honesty + Strategy + Reality.)

 

Unfortunately, sometimes you need to play the game in order to win it.

 

  • It’s not Pretty.
  • It’s not “Inspirational.”
  • It’s just Fucking Reality.

 

I’M NOT BEGGING FOR 3rd PARTY VOTES

 

You heard me right.

Vote for anyone you want.

 

  • Vote Left.
  • Vote Right.
  • Vote for the fucking Flying Purple Spaghetti Monster if you want.

 

Why? Because you won’t vote for a non-Democrat or non-Republican... even if your cute little stressed-out life depended on it!

 

  • First, the Spoiler Effect is locked-in. It’s non-negotiable – until we pass Ranked Voting.

 

  • Second, the public clings to the destructive lie, “Voting for a 3rd Party is a Wasted Vote.”

 

This deeply rooted lie has done more damage than any of the other lies they want us to believe.

 

 

Because… the only vote that truly matters - the one that threatens their monopoly - is one for a 3rd Party.

 

And voting for the 2 parties isn’t just “wasted”, its damaging because you’re strengthening the corrupt monopoly.

 

Why not take a fraction of what you give to other causes - and invest it in a REAL PLAN that solves the CORE PROBLEM.

 

OUR 100% GUARANTEED PLAN

 

Here’s why we call this our “Foolproof” Plan.

 

  • The good people of Oregon elect me to Congress.

 

      -- Easier than it sounds.

      -- Details are already available.

 

  • I Introduce these 3 Reforms.
  • I get Ignored. (We’re hopeful but not delusional.)
  • We incentivize early supporters.
  • We increase incentives until we have a majority.

 

The Bottom Line:

 

  • Three Changes
  • System Fixed
  • More YouTube Videos

 

This Strategy is based in REALITY:

 

  • It is not a Protest.
  • It is not Symbolic.
  • It is not Wishful Thinking.

 

And together – not Someday – but Now… we make it Real.

 

VALID, FREE SOLUTIONS ARE IGNORED

 

  • There are more than just 2 positions on every issue.
  • There are simple, no-cost solutions to ALL our problems.
  • But they’re covered up because these solutions don’t help politicians win re-election.

 

The goal of government is NOT to help us live in peace. It is to raise as much money as possible.

 

These policies make BIG PROFITS and therefore… BIG DONATIONS.

 

  • War
  • Sickness
  • Crime
  • Debt
  • Division
  • Hate

 

These policies make NO PROFITS and therefore… NO DONATIONS.

 

  • Peace
  • Balance
  • Friendship
  • Health
  • Community
  • Love

 

UNITING AROUND ONE COMMON GOAL

 

I’ve worked across the political spectrum from Green to Libertarian, and I learned the one Hard Truth. 

 

Running 3rd parties is pointless when your opponents make the rules.

 

That’s why Reset America is Not Partisan.

 

  • Hell, we’re Anti-partisan.
  • We don’t care what issues you care about.

 

Our single purpose is to UNIFY ALL AMERICANS by…

 

  • Ending ‘Career Politicians’
  • Ending the ‘Spoiler Effect’
  • Ending the ‘Lessor of 2 Evils’
  • Ending the lie ‘Voting for a 3rd party is a Wasted Vote”
  • Getting Money out of our Elections ONCE AND FOR ALL!

 

We will see ALL these benefits just by passing these 3 simple changes to our election laws.

 

  • Now, tell me… is this worth putting aside the fake divisions the parties use to manipulate us?
  • We must put our differences aside – just this once.
  • Then, we can go back attacking each other.

 

It doesn’t matter what you want to change in government.  NOTHING WILL CHANGE - until we CHANGE THE SYSTEM first.

 

It's a complete waste of time to debate any issue until we are able to hold our “leaders” accountable – and we cannot do this without fair elections.

 

BOTH SIDES AGREE

 

I have not yet met a single person – from far left to far right – who doesn’t instantly understand this message and agree with this plan.

 

  • We are all tired of being played.
  • We all want accountability.
  • We all know the system is rigged.

 

PEOPLE SAY WE’RE DIVIDED 50 / 50.

 

But that’s Wrong.

 

  • 40% of Americans don’t vote.
  • These non-voters are not apathetic – they just don’t see their vote making a difference.

 

And they’re Right.

 

 

  • If you still think there’s a difference between the 2 parties, then Take our Quiz. Report your results.

 

WHEN WE UNITE, THE MONOPOLY DIES

 

Something Big is Happening.

 

This message is spreading faster than I imagined it would. We haven’t even launched, and we’re already seeing 1000’s of replies, shares, likes, and messages.

 

But Momentum is a Living Thing.

 

  • It grows when you feed it.
  • It dies when you don’t.

 

So, if you want this rebellion to keep growing… now is the moment to help.

 

  • Not next month.
  • Not after the next scandal.
  • Not when the outrage hits a new boiling point.
  • Not after watching the next YouTube video.

 

DON’T LET THEM SHUT US DOWN

 

We only get one shot at this. There are too many people who want to see us fail… anyone who profits from this mess they created for their benefit at your expense.

 

And yes, please chip in financially. Taking down a corrupt political machine is oddly expensive.

 

Help Manifest this into Reality.

 

It’s time for me to let go and trust the universe. The ball isn’t just in my court anymore. The next step is up to you.

 

We can execute this plan – and do something extraordinary – but whether it becomes a reality depends on funding.

 

THE TRUTH I WISH I DIDN'T NEED TO SAY

 

I need income right now.

 

I’ve been in foreclosure since I first got sick and lost my business 10 years ago. (Ironically, it was COVID that saved me from being homeless.)

 

Truth about My Finances

 

I have deep faith in the American People (i.e., you) or I would never have spent years building this movement.

 

  • Reset America isn’t just an idea.
  • It’s a Realistic Plan that will change the trajectory of our nation.

 

But Belief doesn’t Pay the Bills.

 

THE UNIVERSE OPENED THIS DOOR

 

Let’s Walk Through It Together.

 

I’m now at the point where I need help to keep this moving. If I can’t raise funds immediately, I’ll have to return to running my old media company.

 

I’m good at it – I’ve won awards, built companies, earned “Marketer of the Year” and was even called, The Gandhi of Marketing. (Like that didn’t go to my head!)

 

  • Could I make more money convincing the world which banana slicer is best?
  • Absolutely.

 

But after everything I built, it would be heartbreaking if I was forced to walk away from it now.

 

FUELING THE WORK THE UNIVERSE STARTED

 

I also cannot afford the time to plead for donations when we need to spend our time executing the Reset Plan immediately. And as mentioned in the beginning, my time on this planet is limited.

 

Somehow, things have kept working out just enough for me to continue.

 

I’m hoping this is one of those moments.

 

MANIFESTING THIS MISSION TOGETHER

 

Don’t let this movement die over money. Or die with me. Not when we’ve accomplished so much and  we’re this close to real change.

 

Reset America isn’t mine – it’s Ours...  And we must Move Forward Together, or not at all.

 

Without any promotion, this message has begun to snowball.

 

  • But time is not Unlimited.
  • Delays threaten whether this Movement is Launched.

 

If you believe in this work – even a little – I’m asking sincerely:

 

  • Join Reset America.
  • Share widely.
  • Comment everywhere.

 

And if nothing else, send good energy into the universe. It matters more than you know.

 

  • Stay present.
  • Breathe.
  • Dance a little.
  • And just remember… Help is on the Way.

 

Stop yelling into the Abyss. That doesn’t help. Instead…

 

  • Join the Rebellion.
  • It’s better for your soul. ❤️

 

Einstein said that the definition of insanity is “doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

 

Isn't that exactly what we are doing by re-electing the same corrup career politicians who created this mess in the first place - then hoping they suddenly start doing the right thing?

The following text was written over 10 years ago. Some of the details about the Reset Plan are out-of-date... as well as some of the data and examples. 

 

We simply cannot justify the time required to continuously update past messaging. If anything, the real situation today is far worse than what is described below. 

 

Since this was written, new crises have emerged — caused by the very same career politicians who created these problems in the first place.

 

We are keeping this text here because it clearly explains what becomes possible when we begin to reclaim control over our government and our own lives.


Our Mission   

What can we do to fix this mess? It’s not enough to get the American People to understand the truth. The change that we desperately need requires us to act. Reset America is a simple plan for the American People to take back government from career politicians and the 2 parties. We have 3 immediate goals:

 

Our first goal is to convince all Americans to only vote for candidates who support these 3 specific changes to our election process:

1.

Term Limits

This will replace career politicians with people willing to put your interests above their own.

2.

Ranked Voting

This will avoid the Spoiler Effect so that you can vote for whoever you want and not risk electing someone who you hate even more.

3.

Equal Rules &  Laws

This will end the 2-party monopoly to give independents and 3rd party candidates a fair chance to be elected.

We’re not saying that once we adopt these three policies that all our problems will go away overnight. What we are saying is that if we don’t make these 3 changes first, then we will have no chance of ever altering this unsustainable trajectory that our nation is headed.

 

Our second goal is to persuade candidates to endorse our list of Reset America principles. If a candidate swears to support these conditions, then they may proudly display the Reset America logo in their promotional materials.

 

Our third goal is to convince Americans to hold our "leaders" accountable. If a politician pledges their support for these principles, and they do not try to make them happen in their first year in office, then we simply vote for new candidates who will. We keep doing this until we have a Congress that is working for the people and not themselves.

 

This will motivate our “leaders” to do the right thing if they wish to be re-elected. I don't know how we can make this any easier or convenient to cause the changes that we need – and we know that we need

How Polarized are we really?

This should be an easy sell since so many of you already support these changes.

80% of us want Term Limits.

80% of us think positively about Ranked Voting

68% of us want 3rd parties.

I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but please tell me how...

80% of people can strongly want something and we call that a society that’s “polarized.”

And 80% of you have a positive view of Ranked Voting. Please tell me how 80% of people feeling strongly about something means that we’re polarized? Sorry, I just asked that.

And 68% of us want 3rd parties. That's not being polarized either.

And, by the way, 93% of us dislike government! How the fuck is this being polarized?

Maybe it’s because our “leaders” want us to be polarized. They want us to point fingers at each other instead of at them. In fact, they’re not “leaders” at all. They act more like children (and our children are acting more like leaders.)

We are all angry.

We all want change.

We already know that change needs to come from outside the system.

We already know that we need 3rd parties to add competition to the Democratic and Republican Parties.

(We talk about the subject of polarization more since this is number one in our list of the Top 10 Mistaken Beliefs.)

 

We must work together and put aside distraction issues that the 2-parties use to polarize us to prevent the changes that we know we must make.

The Issues don’t Matter.

It doesn’t matter what we want to see changed in Washington. The only chance that you will ever have to achieve your particular goals is to join together towards our common goal of creating a real democratic election process. It’s a complete waste of time, money and energy to debate policy on any issue until we hold our leaders accountable, and this starts by changing how they are incentivized.

 

The Reset America plan does not embrace any specific issue (other than resetting our election process of course.) We purposely don’t take sides or even care about how you feel about any partisan issue. You can be Democrat, Republican, liberation, green, or even fluorescent. Our only goal is to unify all people around our common desire to take back government from career politicians and the 2 parties.

We must fix the Root Problem Together.

Whatever is your particular concern, no changes are possible because our system was built by the same people who are still profiting by it today.

 

Let's use global warming as an example. There has never been a greater threat to our species and planet than global warming. Fortunately, we know what we need to do to address this crisis. But sadly, this will never happen while nearly all of Congress has some level of interest in the success of energy companies.

 

Take for example Senator Joe Manchin (Democrat). Manchin chairs the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. It is the top position in ensuring we pursue more climate-friendly policies - and he is adamantly against addressing the effects of global warming. Why? Do you think that it has anything to do with the fact that he owns a coal company, Enersystems, and last year alone, he was paid $491,949? Or that he receives the most funding of any senator from the oil and gas industry?

 

He's not alone. All members of Congress are allowed to use inside information gained from doing their job for their personal benefit. Even as chairman of his committee, Manchin can trade stocks based on the decisions that his committee makes and how he votes. But he’s not the only legislator who is guilty of insider trading and bribery. The majority of Congress engages in practices to make money for themselves, while jeopardizing the future of our children and nation. Worst of all, this is all legal.

Is there any more obvious conflict of interest?

Regardless of which “side” you’re on, please tell me that you believe this is wrong. If you’re desperate to latch onto a conspiracy theory, latch onto this one (only it’s not a theory!)

 

So, as you can see, we are not going to address global warming while Congress is owned by the energy industry. Here are other issues that need to be addressed and why this can’t happen under our current system.

You can spend your life trying to End Wars… but you don’t stand a chance when the defense industry gives billions to Congress.

You can fight against Global Warming…  but you don’t stand a chance when Congress is in the pockets of energy companies.

You can get People Healthy…  but you don’t stand a chance when big pharma, health care and insurance are some of our nation’s biggest lobbies.

You can fight for Election Reform… but you don’t stand a chance when both parties are making it harder and harder for 3rd parties and independent candidates to compete.

You fight against Unlawful Convictions… but you don’t stand a chance when everyone down the line, from law enforcement to prosecutors, judges, prison officials are incentivized to keep more people trapped in the system.

You can be an activist for Buying Local… but you don’t stand a chance when Congress is controlled by corporations.

You can try to expose Government Waste… but you don’t stand a chance when the entire establishment profits from excess spending, expanding control and the exchange of favors for jobs.

You can fight for Campaign Finance Reform… but you don’t stand a chance when the entire system is about re-election and fundraising.

You can encourage Personal Savings… but you don’t stand a chance when our government gives tax breaks for adding more debt and taxes income from savings.

You can fight for Social Justice… but you don’t stand a chance when Congress doesn’t understand the needs of the disadvantaged since most of its members are old, white, rich, male, career politicians.

You can fight for Term Limits…  but you don't stand a chance when Congress is able to pass laws regulations that directly apply to themselves. Whatever happened to checks and balances, or conflict of interest?

Get the point?


These are all worthy causes – as well as hundreds of others - and we commend you for being involved. But regardless of what you want, nothing will change while career politicians are benefiting from the system they created.

 

This is why it is vital that all people, regardless of the issues, unite over our common goal of electing legislators who are not for sale.

There are Never just 2 sides to an Issue.

What’s more, there are never only two solutions to a problem. In fact, there are practical solutions that cost nothing to make happen, but these are not even considered because they don’t benefit those in power. In contrast, the only solutions that are considered are those that help Congress win re-elections which involve returns for favors and putting money in their pockets.

The Book: 

Mistaken Beliefs

Can this change happen? Yes, but first, we need to understand the reasons that are preventing it. These are the hidden causes that stop us from creating the very change that we want. These obstacles are the result of ‘mistaken beliefs’ that we embrace as a society. These beliefs are terribly wrong, and they effect how we think and act. In the book, we reveal the real problem in government, and it will probably surprise you.

 

Literally any solution to any problem starts by having the courage and common sense to vote for candidates outside the 2 parties and who are not for sale.

We fought a revolution to take control of our government from the British. It’s time for us to take back control of our government from the 2 parties.
