RESET AMERICA

The Reset Principles

When a building is so damaged that it can’t be repaired,

it must be torn down in order to build something better.

This is the exact situation that we have in government today.

These are our Principles. What are Yours?

The Reset America Plan is about electing people who put our interests above their own. Our goal to convince voters to only support candidates (from president to water commissioner) who pledge their support to values that are important to most people. These are ideals that we urge you to require from our legislators.


Here are our list of principles. How did we arrive at this list? From you. These were created from blogs, tweets and data about what we all want and what is possible.


Don’t like our list? We invite you to make your own. Add your own principles on our social media pages. We just ask that you only vote for candidates who pledge their support to your list… and this means not be influenced by people who have their own motives and objectives.

Attention Candidates: Take our pledge

If you’re a candidate or current legislator who shares these values, then accept our challenge.


If you pledge your support to these principles, then we will include your name and organization on our website and in all social media, press releases and so on. In turn, you may include the Reset America logo on all your promotional materials. You’ll also have access to resources to help you achieve our mutual goals. There’s only one catch. If you don’t follow through in actively pursuing these principles, then we will tell the world of your lies.

Let's return to a democracy before time runs out.

1.  Create an Honest and Democratic Election Process

___

I will not be affiliated in any way with either the democrat or republican parties.

___

I will work toward limiting the influence of political parties and special interest groups.

___

 

I will not worry about being publicly attacked in the media because I know that I must make tough choices before these problems get worse.

___

 

I will work to create a more level playing field in the campaign and election process.

___

 

I will not let politics or re-election enter into any of my actions or decisions.

Is this worth 'wasting' your vote on?

2.  Put other People’s Interests and Sustainable Policies First

___

I will put the interests of the people of this nation and the world above my own.

___

I will not become a lobbyist after I leave office or use my influence for personal gain at the expense of the American people.

___

I will consider the long-term implications in every decision that I make.

___

I will not be afraid to tackle serious issues that may weaken my popularity.

Our loyalty to these two parties is undeserved.

3.    Recognize the Urgency of the Problems and Focus on Solutions

___

I will promote and foster a non-political, friendly, and collaborative environment.

___

I will not be distracted by trivial issues and debates.

___

I understand that there is an urgency to address the issues facing our nation.

___

I will direct my attention toward implementing viable solutions that are available today and will work to implement these solutions before time runs out.

Is this too much to ask from our 'leaders'?

4.  Cannot Lie, Exaggerate or Dodge Questions

___

I will speak honestly about our nation’s current state of affairs.

___

I will not refuse critical interviews or dodge questions, except in matters of national security.

___

I will present accurate estimates of economic, environmental, and social-impact projections.

___

I will be honest about my relationships with people and reveal the sources of my campaign contributions.

This hypocrisy must end!

5.  Eliminate Conflicts of Interest and Obey the Same Laws

___

I will work toward eliminating the separate class that has been created by career politicians to live an easier life and avoid responsibility… and removing laws that gives to Congress any special treatment over regular citizens. The “government class” should not have an easier life than the average American.

___

I will work toward eliminating the conflict of interest that was created by politicians to profit personally while in power.

___

I will support legislation that makes it illegal for Congress to pass laws that directly affects them personally, such as: pay, benefits, election policies, campaigns… in other words, anything that could create an incentive for them to put their interests above ours.

What do you want from your representatives?

Don’t like our list? Want to change or add to it? Let us know. We invite you to add to this list or make your own. Add your own principles on our social media pages... just be sure to hold our politicians accountable and not be negatively influenced by people who have their own motives and objectives.


Stop complaining. Take action instead. It's works better.
