Why Should I Care?

Why Should I Care?

The Independence Caucus Video Series — illustrates how special interest billions have purchased the ears of a majority of incumbents from both parties such that presently we have no voice. Tragically, the bill for their out-of-control spending and skyrocket debt will be left to enslave our children and grandchildren if we do not take it upon ourselves now to actively exercise our rights and responsibilities as the “government of the people.”

How Do I Get Involved

Our nation is spiraling downward and our leadership is “fiddling while Rome burns.” If this great nation of ours is to be saved, it’s up to us to do it. We the People ARE the government, and it’s time we started acting like it instead of delegating our responsibilities to our irresponsible elected officials and trust that they are going to fix the mess they helped to create.

Will It Really Make A Difference?

Will It Really Make A Difference?

In probably the most conservative district of the country, upstart Jason Chaffetz had never before run for political office when he decided to take on party establishment and face off incumbent Cannon (an alleged conservative) in the US Congressional election for Utah’s 3rd District. With very little money, but backed by a a force of 1,000 volunteers, Jason ran his campaign in the black, with integrity, and with a promise to his constituents to uphold the US Constitution, curtail government spending and “…represent Utah to Washington, not Washington to Utah.”

During the campaign, the Independence Caucus conducted research which found a direct link between Jason’s Republican opponent and the big money special interest groups who heavily financed his campaign with out of state dollars. In spite of being outspent 6 to 1, lacking the endorsements his six term incumbent opponent had of the sitting President, and both Senators from his state and all three major newspapers in his district, having no paid campaign staff–only volunteers, Jason beat the incumbent in an unprecedented landslide victory, capturing 60% of the vote.

Jason’s victory is a victory for all of us all around this nation. Using the very same techniques which got Jason elected into office, the Independence Caucus is showing volunteers in Congressional Districts all across the country how they did it so we can unseat a minimum of 40% of the incumbents who are up for reelection in 2010. Join with us TODAY to take this country back from the big money special interests and hand it to it’s rightful owners, We The People!
Big Stick Tea Party

Big Stick Tea Party

Therefore… What Now?
As each day passes, both parties in Congress are escalating our national debt and expanding their control over private industries  in which they have no constitutional role.

Meanwhile they neglect their true obligations vested in them by the Constitution; like border security and fiscal responsibility.

In response, we have gathered at nationwide Tea Parties, where THOUSANDS of us get excited; we vent; we talk and share ideas; to which we now ask the ulimate question:

Therefore…what?

The excitement and momentum must continue. Today must be our catalyst to ensure that Congress will no longer be able to blatantly disregard our Constitution

So… What next?  What if we build on today’s momentum by combining the efforts of every person; every group; and every bit of our talent and energy to focus on finding and electing into Congress true fiscally responsible, values driven, honest men and women?

Therefore… let’s get Educated!
by exposing the “Big Lie” of government bailouts.

The “Big Lie” began with Congress insisting they had to approve the government bailouts or the entire national system of over 8.500 financial institutions would collapse.

If this were true, how did only 25 companies manage to get more than 93% of all the bailout money funneled into their coffers?

One reason: Congress voted to give 93% of all bailout money to those 25 companies because the majority of campaign donations that many Congressional incumbents from both parties have ever received can be traced back to those same 25 companies!

Members of congress want you to think they are in there “fighting for you”.  For a great majority of incumbent congress members from both parties, that’s just a Big Lie.  We all seem to know it, but don’t have the facts at our fingertips to prove it.  Now you will!

A joint venture of The Independence Caucus and The912project.us is finalizing the research into exactly how much money from these 25 companies ended up in the campaign coffers of each incumbent member of congress from both parties. We’re going to expose all TEN LEVELS that these 25 companies discretely employ to steer multiple “maximum” donations to the incumbents of their choice.

When this money trail is published the “Big Lie” will be exposed!

Therefore… let’s get Organized!
President Teddy Roosevelt said: “Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.”  Members of congress voted to hand out billions in government bailouts despite calls and letters in opposition of more than 1,000 to 1, because we were merely “speaking softly” without any sort of “big stick.”

What we really need now is a “Big Stick Tea Party.”

Imagine the impact: on a given day, someone shows up at the local office of each and every one of the 535 members of Congress at exactly 4:30 in the afternoon with at least 1,000 tea bags, each one label with the name of one of their constituents, and the following message: “Please watch the enclosed video, ‘The Big Lie’ which exposes members of congress for what they are – we know how the money game works in Washington. Here’s your notice – you’re fired!”

Now imagine the impact of local and national coverage of ordinary people like you and me delivering that message across the nation to all 535 members of Congress at the exact same time on the exact same day.

This is a Big Stick they can’t ignore!

Therefore… let’s do this!

What is the “Big Stick”? A special delivery of the “Big Lie” video exposing the 25 institutions that received more than 93%  of all bailout money AND the top 12 Congressmen (from both parties) who they paid off with massive campaign contributions…Plus a minimum of 1,000 teabags, each one with an individual constituent donor’s name and zip code printed on each teabag… Plus a “YOU’RE FIRED!” pink slip letting your Congressman know that you’ve had enough!

Where will the “Big Stick” be delivered? Not to Washington where it would be tossed in the garbage… instead the “Big Stick” will be delivered to your Representative’s office in their home state! This message will be personal, powerful and public!

How is the “Big Stick” delivered? A personal hand-delivery by members of the Independence Caucus and members of The912project.us; both accompanied by pre-arranged media to ensure that the American public sees this and knows what is going on!

When will the “Big Stick” be delivered? As soon as we have at least 1,000 teabags for all 535 members of Congress. The “Big Stick” will be delivered to all 535 home district offices at the exact same time on the exact same day!
