The Tea Party convention in Nashville has divided disaffected American voters into two camps - those for “fixing the Republican Party,” and those who prefer another option.
The pro-GOP approach alienates many who turned out by the thousands to protest across the country. Democrats, moderates and independents, as well as “dropouts,” who had given up on politics all together, seek an alternate approach. These Americans oppose runaway spending and government health care takeovers. Many became politically involved for the first time at Tea Party rallies.
Tim Cox, founder of GOOOH (pronounced “GO”), has developed an alternative - not a third party, but a third choice in each district in the upcoming 2010 congressional elections. His movement, “Get Out of Our House,” is a non-partisan system that allows everyday citizens to run for office, independent of special interest money and two-party politics.
“The Tea Party convention in Nashville tells me there is a growing dissatisfaction with career politicians, political parties and out of control government spending. The demand for a non-partisan solution to elect true citizen representatives continues to build nationwide, and groups all across America are rallying around the GOOOH system as that solution,” says Cox.
As enterprising GOP leaders try to find ways to absorb Tea Party energy for themselves, they fail to realize that many Americans are as dissatisfied with Republicans as they are with the Democrats. Many point to the 1994 “Contract with America,” which promised a balanced budget, term limits, and a law to make congress live under the rules it passes, which Republicans failed to deliver.
Tim Cox travels the country explaining his system, and will present his ideas at a major rally at the Convention Center in Raleigh, NC, on February 20th. The Raleigh GOOOH gathering will kick off a statewide petition drive to get GOOOH candidates on the North Carolina ballot for 2010.
