America Vote Direct Candidate Application

Candidate Application

Please read these instructions from our Director, Daniel Rosen

Thank you for your interest in an America Vote Direct Candidacy for Congress.

All America Vote Direct Candidates will be provided with a customized Vox Populi Decision Management System [DMS]™, and support, free of charge.

A campaign for Congress should not be undertaken lightly. As I know from personal experience, the expenditure of time and effort is enormous - even all consuming. Before applying, please make an objective evaluation of your ability to devote sufficient personal resources to a campaign. The psychological and emotional strain is also considerable, although your campaign is also likely to be a very enjoyable and gratifying experience.

Before applying, please carefully review the following:

The America Vote Direct Pledge: As your Representative in Congress, I will vote exactly as you, the citizens in my district, direct me to vote through your participation on our Vote Direct website, or by secure telephone connection to my office in Washington: no ifs, ands, or buts.
The America Vote Direct Campaign Agreement: Since each America Vote Direct Candidate and Representative must be accepted as an impartial moderator of the Vote Direct DMS, I will refrain from entering into public debate on any of the issues of the day, and restrict myself to discussion of Vote Direct technology and the principle of citizen control. Also, I will cooperate with other America Vote Direct Candidates and participate as much as possible in joint efforts to get our message out to the public.
