Don’t tolerate "Official Washington" trying to stand in the way of Unity08!

As you know, Unity08 is breaking new ground. Some months ago, we asked the Federal Election Commission (FEC), which oversees the implementation of election law, to provide guidance on how exactly we should be classified. The FEC’s just-released answer is the first demonstration that the money-laden Washington establishment is uncomfortable with Unity08’s potential to end the corruption and re-align our leadership with the will of the majority of American people.

The FEC shows itself as an agent of "Official Washington"

The FEC, the very agency that oversees a system that allows obscene amounts of special interest money to flow in favor of the two major parties, ruled to place strict limits on the money Unity08 can raise! Specifically, the FEC put in place a strict $5,000 limit on any contribution to Unity08, but leaves the limits for the Democratic and Republican parties at $25,000 per contribution – that’s five times as much!

Of course, Unity08 had long ago voluntarily instituted a $5,000 cap as part of our promise to reduce the influence of money on politics. And as you know, Unity08 refuses to take money from corporations or special interests. So nothing about our operations will change.

But this decision shows that "Official Washington" has taken notice and has begun to mobilize to keep this movement of American voters from shaking things up!

Remember, Unity08 will win the White House with a bipartisan Unity Ticket in 2024, regardless of the decisions of a Washington bureaucracy like the FEC. But we need your help to prepare for the next such self-protectionist move from "Official Washington"!

Why should you care what the FEC does?

It’s no secret that the FEC is a key player in today’s broken political system in which money corrupts all, and has incentive to protect it. With this decision, the FEC essentially said it’s fine if the two big parties continue largely uninhibited in their creative fundraising regardless of their wanton abuse of rational limits on special interest money. But a people’s movement to end money-driven, hyper-partisan politics? That looks like it could shake things up, so tie one hand behind its back, and fast!

The decision sends a startling signal to the American people that they dare not do anything that might disrupt the entrenched partisan party machinery in Washington, or come between it and the lobbyist dollars that feed it. The FEC has made clear to Americans that if they want to do anything other than sit idly by while destructive partisanship and corruption shape how we are governed, much less start their own political party to impart constructive change, the FEC will surely try to stand in the way.

The FEC is comprised of partisan political appointees beholden to the Washington establishment, an establishment that, with this decision, the FEC illustrates its fervor to protect. This dynamic is one that Americans find so distasteful and that Unity08 is positioned to remedy.

Clearly, with this opinion, the FEC hopes to hinder our goal of a ticket for the White House chosen not by a handful of partisans in New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina, which is what happens today, but by millions of Americans across the country, regardless of their party affiliation.

We will of course abide by the FEC ruling, but our success depends not on the decisions of a Washington bureaucracy, but on the will of the people to force constructive change.
