Thanks for this resource. It’s a great reminder that we can do so much at the local level, despite what is happening at the national level. I’d also recommend folks read Verified, a new book written by experts in how to recognize dis- and misinformation.
I recommend you connect with Nader who attempted to pass the "NoneOfTheAbove"referendum in California, and feel free to reach out to me at gary at GetCourageNow o r g
Over the past six months, I’ve launched a nationwide “Save Democracy” movement in response to the dangerous direction of our political system. I believe the “Votem All Out” plan offers a bold, viable path to reclaiming our government for the people.
I’d greatly value your perspective—and your partnership. Please take a moment to review my pitch below, and let me know whether you see an opportunity for us to join forces.
VOTEM ALL OUT” - THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE DEMOCRACY AND RESTORE THE AMERICAN DREAM IN 2026
Our democracy has been bought—and it’s time to take it back.
This isn’t about Republicans or Democrats. It’s about the corrupting power of money that’s rigged the system against ordinary Americans. Since the 2010 Citizens United decision, billionaires, lobbyists, and corporations have poured unlimited funds into our elections, buying influence and silencing voters.
Congress isn’t broken. It’s captured by money and it won’t fix itself.
What’s Gone Wrong?
• Runaway inequality: Wages are stagnant while CEOs rake in hundreds of times more. The middle class is vanishing.
• Corporate control: Campaign cash now decides elections and writes the laws.
• No accountability: Congress answers to donors, not voters.
• Voter disillusionment: The system feels rigged—because it is.
• Democracy on the brink: People are losing faith and turning to dangerous alternatives.
The Solution: “VOTEM ALL OUT”
I’m William E. Bardwell, MBA—author, researcher, and founder of the Votem ALL Out campaign. We’re launching a bold, nonpartisan movement to break the money chokehold on federal politics. Our demands:
• Publicly funded federal elections
• A full ban on all other campaign contributions—corporate, union, PACs, Super PACs, and private wealth
• A national pledge: If Congress doesn’t act by September 2026, we will vote out every sitting member, regardless of party
