Quoted: I have twenty four years of military service and understand that comment. My son is 14 and I am encouraging him to not join the military at this point. It breaks my heart. I also disagree that this country is too far gone. The media has us divided and distracted. We can turn this ship around. View Quote Don't get me wrong, I agree strongly with every point raised in this proposed "movement". That's what *should* happen. I just don't see it going anywhere. We should have been building alternate communications networks over the past few decades that the socialists couldn't control. We should have our own internet. But we didn't build it, and now they're about to silence us all. We will not be able to stop it, because they control every relevant leverage point. Once we're unable to communicate, it'll be easy for them to continue the indoctrination of the populate and to silence those who still dissent. China laid out the map for this. That's the model we're going to follow. The Great Reset is simply a Western version of Chinese fascism, with a globalist flavor. Buying another 4 years to prepare for that with Trump was our last shot at stopping it. The way I see it, we're stuck in a box with a bunch of fucking venomous snakes, and if we don't get out of the box we're all done for. Staying in the box isn't a winning proposition. |

I've been thinking the very same thing this morning.
I was going for America First Party and think America First should be the first priority of the party. One of my thoughts. Term Limits, the party will not back any candidate that choses to run for more than two terms NO EXCEPTIONS. |

Innovation and Communication.
Twitter/ Facebook have a stranglehold on society. Tech is leading the world and shaping society. I went to SCAD and a lot of my peers went on to tech companies like Google, IBM, Facebook, and other mega heavyweights that are shaping our society. My peers are/were 95% liberal- no need to explain. Creative ideation sessions on design teams aren't just about picking pretty colors and enhancing button placement on User interfaces, they focus on reframing the issue. It's a deep dive into human ergonomics, habbits, thought processes, what they ate for breakfast etc. They are exhaustively building a product that captivates users and this has given them a monopoly on communication. How many conservatives do you know that won't give up Facebook pre-election or post-election? I see this as a keystone issue. Twitter suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop alone could have flipped the election. Liberals are dominating movies, education, news, social media, music etc. We need not just an opposing news channel (that's a start) or a faux Facebook /Twitter competitor. We need our own innovative strategic approach, a tech trojan horse. What that will look like IDK. It could start as an app for gardening for all I know. Hell Tik Tok has the power to morph the next generation's perception on the 2A more than the NRA can or did in 50 years and TikTok has been here for 2 years and started as an app for users to sing along to songs. We need a better way to combat the narrative. If I had your capital I would also be looking to invest in long term innovative ways that might not seem like they are a direct approach. A news channel is just a start, but it isn't strategic enough like the social media giants are. One of the best reframe examples I saw recently was a project Jordan Peterson was funding. He wants (hopefully still) to start a new untraditional online platform for higher learning. One where you can accredit your compiled knowledge, getting rid of the traditional student teacher in a classroom hierarchy. Lots of us already are self-motivated to read forums and watch youtube videos etc in things that interest us and we become near subject matter experts (this forum is a good example, how many here are actual gunsmiths? and how many could be if we wanted to? It wouldn't be a large leap for some). We are just missing a few golden puzzle pieces and a seal of approval from those who are. We have access to loads of information and having it congregated and restricted to the halls of an institute with biased authority figures with sometimes no real-world experience does seem like a dated model. I think the project was a great example of a reframing of the educational system utilizing existing technology, end-user habits, and trends. I am excited to see more development on that project. This example of a tech approach has the power to reshape one of the biggest hurdles to conservativism: youth indoctrination through education Lets think innovatively one side has and they are dominating Glad to be a part of PSA |

Whether this ends up as a “thought exercise “ or something that gets off the ground, Thank you for at least trying.... |

And campaign spending limits from all sources.
Maybe 150 M representative 250 M senate 750 M president At least it would clear the airwaves and mailbox. |

View Quote Obama rocked the political landscape when he hired a design firm out of Chicago to brand him. Logo, mission statement, keywords analysis to put in his speeches etc all came from studying people.

We are talking about people at the root of this. Let's study people. Hate to be vague but it's a complicated issue that needs to start by stepping back for a min, analyzing, and innovating.

Nice! Welcome aboard.
My thoughts on the points so far: 1. This one is going to be hard, while allowing people and the businesses they run to make their own decisions. It could probably be accomplished by getting rid of section 230 though. Take the hit, let the social media that fails because they get sued out of existence fail and let the market work it out. Realistically social media should not be done by large companies, they will ALWAYS end up corrupt. Something more akin to bittorrent or encrypted file sharing that works faster and better when more people join would be better. No source to shut down then. Nobody to sue either. 2. No argument on this one. 3. Needs rewording. My dad doesn't know WTF wokeness is. Needs to be on the flip side like "feeling hurt about something does not result in the right to anything" 4. Add a clause about "immigration will be strictly controlled and with the sole goal of benefiting the Citizens of the United States". Someone who is poor is not let in simply because they are poor. Same with "broken country" or whatever else. Most of the time the reason those countries are poor or broken, are the ones trying to get here. Also, we need to get with the rest of the world and drop birthplace citizenship. That was useful in the 1800s. It is not now. 5. I agree, but that's a hard a hard road to climb. 6. This is our only hope to get out of economic collapse. Reducing spending, stopping taxes, or any other bullshit won't work. 7. Yes, however, this needs a "how will that get done" clause. bureaucrats are 99% of the problem here, the revolving door from pentagon to defense contractor (as an example) causes this. 8. Yup. |

Honestly anyone who doesn't what to be a politician, is the exact persons we need doing so. I've never had proper political representation my entire life, so if this gets off the ground I'll be exited.

At first I was suspicious of the new account but if indeed you are owner of PSA then I am glad and excited to read your plan.
We really do need a new movement that isn't tied to a single personality and can encompass all of us who have become disillusioned and need a better way. I'm in. Mods need to sticky this. |

1. It needs Money.
2. Most likely that money will come in the form of small donations from average people. Don't expect any big donors or corporations (and really, you wouldn't want that anyways) 3. To convince people to send the money, you'd damn well need to be trustworthy, accountable, and transparent. Have a good plan for where that money will go. 4. You will need to spend much of that money on media. There will be no free media coverage for such an effort. That includes social media. 5. See #1. By "you" I'm of course not referring specifically to the OP, but to anybody who would set up a new party. |

100% term limits. It should be a government of the people by the people not for the elite by the career politicians.
I've been thinking about this. Maybe 2 4 year terms in any political position and then you are out for life |

Secure Vote
Should be interesting to see how the silicon valley tech innovators will develop blockchain voting, presuming they are at the forefront of most tech. I understand the principle of blockchain and how it can be used to create a secure ledger of voters hopefully putting an end to the mess that is voter roles but the problem I see is that you have to make transparent everyone's vote to ensure accuracy. When people are this divided, it's better we don't have "lists of the opposition". I can't see anyone getting on board with that transparency in the current tribal climate. maybe some IT wizards have some comments. |

I think you'd achieve your goals easier by taking over the republican party.
Start by running candidates in primaries against the worst of the R's Start running candidates in local school boards against the left leaning board members Start taking over local Republican cities, counties and precinct groups. Once you take over these areas go on to the next level up. |

Count me in. We definitely need a new party to represent the people.
The media platforms as well. |

The truth is it can't be taken over because it is just one half of the system that controls us. The Republican party will need to fade away and be replaced by something real. I doubt it can be done within the current system without a reset, but we need to start somewhere when it comes to organizing together. |

Maybe 2 4 year terms in any political position and then you are out for life View Quote That could be a good marketing allure to get new independents or crossover voters onboard to our party and make it seem more open than inclusive. You can get in and out, don't have to wear the colors or buy the jersey. Just support a candidate for a term or two then go back to your party. We, as a new party, have our own internal self-imposed term limits. Kinda like when you just buy a meme lower for your other brand build, then your back three months later for 4 rifle kits at 399$ |
