But all brands need to evolve. As brands, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party do not adapt and change quickly enough to meet the needs of their audience. Also, because we only have two brands we flip back-and-forth between (R) and (D). Since neither one satisfies effectively, we have a lot of independents. I saw today on CNN where someone started a party called the “Party Party

Ask anyone. Read the paper. Watch TV. Listen to talk radio. For the past few years every time I heard about political influence and lobbying there was a prevailing view that if we just got rid of the Washington lobbyists everything would be fine. But is this possible or even desirable? Is it what we really want? I don't think so. According to the First Amendm

  • #010 - Get Money Out of Politics Now

    19/06/2016 Duração: 06min

    This podcast is about how to change a law using iLobby. It is based on the book How to Change a Law. We want to empower voters to change laws so that they can improve their community, influence their country and impact the world. http://amzn.to/1XyrWu6 -- Transcript (Partial) -- We should get money out of politics. Everyone says it is corrosive and corrupts. But ask any candidate who lost his last campaign if he could have used more money and I think he'll say yes. The problem is not too much money. The problem is narrowly focused sources of money. Narrow money doesn't work. In plain English, narrowly focused funding sources empower special interests. In one sense, we don't like special interests because we are not part of the group. But if we were, we would ignore our own hypocrisy and cheer for our 1st Amendment rights. There's probably an algorithm for the correct balance of financial breadth and depth and its political influence. You want more of the former (breadth) and less of the latter (depth)

They are: • Time • Votes The purpose of debate is to come to a decision about a complex issue or topic. This is important because once you reach a decision you're free to take action. So debate is really a decision process tool. Let me break down the five main parts. Summary The summary is like an opening statement or thesis. It is best if it is open-ended and posed as a question.

Why is that? Why do we accept such poor performance? Do we think if they did more, worked harder, longer, smarter, they'd get a better result? Do we want Congress to be more productive and pass more laws with more pages? Even now we learn that Dodd-Frank has 5,320 pages covering 400 new regulations [2]. ObamaCare was a 2,700-page bill and so far has 13,000 pages of new regulations [3]. Or do we want Congress to undo some of the old laws that we no longer like? Would we prefer Congress respond to issues that we think are important? Or did we elect our member to vote the way he or she wants? If the polls ar

You can sit on the sidelines 2. You can petition 3. You can lobby Most small businesses choose #1. You do nothing. You grumble and complain because you feel like you can't do anything. The second option; you join an organization or trade association focused on a single industry or issue. You pay dues, sign petitions and promote your cause through the organization, whether you agree with them or not. You could also try the third choice. If you are lucky enough to grow to a sufficient size and have adequate resources, you can put a toe in the water and hire a PR firm, public affairs staff or a lobb

We want to empower voters to change laws so that they can improve their community, influence their country and impact the world. amzn.to/1XyrWu6 -- Transcript (Partial) -- Many of us are frustrated and annoyed by the hypocrisy and infighting in Washington. We are constantly reminded that elections have consequences and November is our time to act at the ballot box. All of this is true but I know many of us remain antsy. So can we do more? If you think things are dysfunctional at the federal level, you should try the state and local city councils. I think you'll find the same. When we are told we should get together with our friends and neighbors to pursue issues that we have in common and voice our concern, this is true. But often we don't know our real neighbors. Because of this, our friends and neighbors have become our new virtual friends and neighbors in online communities and blogs. This separation m

    This podcast is about how to change a law using iLobby. It is based on the book How to Change a Law. We want to empower voters to change laws so that they can improve their community, influence their country and impact the world. amzn.to/1XyrWu6 -- Transcript (Partial) -- "I hate politics. I don't understand Congress. And I have no idea about who to vote for in the election." That's what I used to say until the political gene turned on in my late 30's. For me, politics was boring and nobody cared. Congress was just a bunch of guys in Washington and they were going to do whatever they wanted to anyway. Besides it didn't affect me. So my position was I'd just vote for the candidate who seemed like a rock star and had the best curb appeal. The media and the Party would make sure I picked the right one. But in 1990 I started a new job working in Governmental Affairs at MCA/Universal and things changed. On a daily basis, we were dealing with public policy issues and I soon realized there were three words I ha
