Letter for distribution to limited-government activist organizations, regarding technical support for an election-reform ballot initiative. From: John Hilt, [email protected]
Dear activist,
This summer I plan to launch an election-reform ballot initiative in a rural county. (county yet to be selected) We will need technical assistance: in particular, we will need a political scientist and a social media manager, to guide the promotional campaign. Would your organization be willing to commit the services of two such individuals?
Like all activist groups, your organization is already laser focused on a particular mission, and will be loath to commit time and energy to a side project. We understand this, and will keep our drain on your energies to a minimum.
Our plan is to install Range Voting (not ‘ranked-choice’ voting) as the election system in one or more Mid-western or Southern counties, for the purpose of expanding the viability of populist and independent candidates. Here is why your organization should support us, even if you are not a fan of multiple-choice voting:
1) Even if the project never expands beyond a handful of counties, it will serve notice to the coastal elites that those of us in the hinterlands are considering alternatives to ruling-class authoritarianism. News of the project’s partial success will motivate other activists.
2) The project could spawn spin-offs….perhaps a movement to get conservatives into the thousands of vacant GOP precinct committeeman positions.
3) All of us activists….pro-life, second amendment, parents rights, etc….are fighting the same battle: the defeat of cultural marxism, and the return to the foundations of our nation. In range voting counties, all of these groups would have a seat in the public square at election time. The best ideas would remain in the public mind, until such time as the ideas could flourish.
4)The range voting system has attributes that prevent vote-splitting; it is totally benign and will not siphon votes from the GOP or other major party.
I’ve taken the liberty of attaching a summary of strategy: https://votermuscle.com/strategy/
Local activists hold the key to our nation’s salvation.
