"We the People, in order to form a more perfect union, must:
Vote: Strong voter turnout overpowers the influence of big money in politics. Dollars can’t vote, you can.
Encourage Others to Vote: When we encourage people to vote, we make sure that the voices of the 100% are heard. Urge and help others to vote.
Hold Candidates Responsible: When we demand that candidates commit to policies that benefit the 100%, we can all hold them accountable when elected. When the people vote, politicians listen."
