Platform:
In order to end political corruption and make government more responsive to the people, I have designed Nevada Vote Direct as a system for citizen control of our representative in Washington. At Nevada Vote Direct, you and other registered voters in Nevada's 2nd Congressional District may vote not only on the issues of the day, but also on specific legislation pending in Congress. You will not be obliged to vote, and may vote only on the issues and bills that concern you. The system provides secure electronic voting in secret ballots conducted continuously on the Internet or by telephone, every day all day. Unlike the electronic voting system used by our government in our periodic elections, the open-source voting software at Nevada Vote Direct is available for inspection by anybody at any time to verify that it is secure, honest, and fair. But this is not just another opinion poll, for I have pledged that, when elected, I will vote in Congress exactly as directed by the majority of voters in my congressional district. No lobbyists will even attempt to buy my vote, knowing that my vote belongs to the majority of voters in my district - no ifs, ands or buts. Millions of dollars from special interests have been funneled into this campaign for Congress just in our district. What? Is Nevada for sale? Let's return to the Founder's vision of truly representative government, using technology wisely to measure the real will of the people.
