Let’s hope this is a groundswell movement Phil. Our current leaders have evolved into modern micro mafias with each politician making decisions based on personal business ventures. Government officials have become quite grand entrepreneurs haven’t they. Must be nice to be able to place bets at the race track when you already know the winner aye? I have never been to a race track for the record………How’s Mike Vick I wonder?

In these troubling times where our government has continued to spend more, deliver less and impinge upon the rights of the private citizen, I’m glad there’s a groundswell movement out there working toward protecting the vital virtues and liberties we all hold so dear. This nation is in trouble, y’all! We need action now. GOOOH’s plan is definitely not perfect, or even proven. But Mr. Cox should receive admiration and support from those of us who are disenfranchised by the status quo. Someone had to take the lead….
To those dissenters out there….let me ask you…What have you done in the name of preserving our democracy lately?
Go get ‘em, Mr. Cox!

I am familiar with the GOOOH process. The idea of getting real, honest Americans into office to make good decisions for other real, honest Americans seems so simple it has to be a good idea.

I think a good litmus test for politicians like Dr. Paul should be that they endorse a process like GOOOH.

Tim,

My guess is that you meant to write “the best person will win” rather than “the best man will win.” Is that correct?

Cordially,

Phil

Ron Paul, by himself, is not enough, as evidenced by the current situation. GOOOH will identify 435 candidates, one in each district, chosen by their peers. If Ron isn’t prez, he will run against the GOOOH candidate as well as the other parties nominee. The best man will win.

GOOOH is about identifying candidates that are not politicians who have defined their own platform, are selected by their peers, and are not running on the million dollars provided by special interest groups. GOOOH will raise the funding for its candidates. The voters will ultimately decide who the winner is, of course, in each and every district.

You can easily support both Ron Paul (if you live in his district) and GOOOH.

Our kids have no future here without Ron Paul. Inflation is back breaking.

Deran, Peter: GOOOH.com is a new NON-PARTISAN political party that will only endorse candidates who have participated in the GOOOH system and have been selected by the system participants – regardless of their various political views. We hope that there will be 435 flavors of GOOOH candidates: one for each congressional district. For example, it’s very likely that left-leaning candidates will win the San Francisco district’s GOOOH selection process, and that very right-leaning candidates will win the Colorado Springs district. Whatever their views, GOOOH will endorse and support each of these candidates’ run for Congress with not just our website, but with the $100 million we hope to raise to fund their national election campaigns. The Candidate Questionnaire does not have ‘right vs. wrong’ answers – it is solely intended to concretely record each candidate’s views on 100+ issues (the questions are not finalized, and we encourage the GOOOH community to help us refine them by posting their opinions in the forum). Each of these GOOOH candidates will have been selected via a rigorous selection process in late 2008 by their district peers based on their answers to the final questionnaire (as well as intangibles like charisma, speaking skills, electability, etc). In addition, they will have signed a legally binding agreement stating that they will do the following during their full tenure in Congress: *vote according to their questionnaire answers (or as voted on by their GOOOH constituents via GOOOH.com), *not accept any funds/gifts/favors from special interest groups or political entities (basically, their income can only come from their federal paycheck), *join or collude with any other political entity (they must solely represent their constituents, not political cabals). If they renege on their promises to solely represent their GOOOH constituents (the GOOOH.com site will track this), they are legally bound to step down from office within 24 hours. GOOOH can be summarized as giving everyday American like you and me the ability to do 3 things we can’t do today: 1) Run for Congress, all expenses paid 2) Select which congressional candidates appear on our district ballots, and 3) Fire unreliable GOOOH Congressmen. Our sole mission is to put representatives of the people back in the US House of Representatives, and thus kick out the career politicians. I hope you all sign up and help us refine the system – and ultimately reclaim the House!!
