GOOOH shifts focus to 2012 election
Group will take two more years to build membership
In a letter to Get Out Of Our House members, Tim Cox announced that as promised, without 500,000 members, the group would shift its focus to the 2012 election. The plan to replace members of the House of Representatives with true citizen representatives, chosen within each district by GOOOH members instead of political party leaders, requires critical mass in membership to succeed. The letter stated…
“We will continue reaching out to every group in America with the understanding that as soon as enough of us rally around this non-partisan approach we can retake control of our government. With two more years, we will have time to reach our membership goal and take the incumbents out in the primaries....I just hope 2012 isn’t too late.”
Texan Tim Cox formed GOOOH in 2007. A former Dell executive and inventor of systems, he studied the writings of the Founding Fathers and knew that what goes on in Congress today would shock our founders. Today’s Congressmen are consumed by the business of getting reelected. They ignore the needs and desires of the people.
Said Cox, “Albert Einstein once said, ‘It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.’ I am as committed to this effort as ever. Our leaders are committed. We are shifting our focus to 2012 and will adjust our strategy.”
GOOOH is making plans to foster membership growth for serious engagement in the 2012 primary season. Tim Cox pointed to a recent USA Today poll in which 2/3 of those polled describe themselves as "angry" about the way things are going in the USA, the highest percentage in the decade the question has been asked. “By nearly 2-1, they would rather vote for a candidate who has never served in Congress over one with experience,” a sign that Americans are fed up with business as usual.
