Party politics as we know it, is perhaps singlehandedly the most devastating development in American political history. Today’s party politics ensures the separation of people and fuels the antagonistic approach to problems in politics. It has also led to two major avenues by which to serve in the United States congress, the republican or democratic platforms. Sadly, both of these avenues have severely hampered the ability of an individual to run without ‘party’ backing. We need elected officials who owe their allegiance to the people, not a party, not the money provided by being in the party. “We the People” need patriots to serve in elected office and we need to facilitate their election by the strength of being unified every time we speak on any critical issue and at the polls. This may mean voting in the primaries of the stronger general election party to influence the candidate chosen. PARTY LABELS ARE IRRELEVANT AS LONG AS IT IS A TRUE PATRIOT THAT WILL PUT “WE THE PEOPLE” FIRST!

             When “We the People” send an elected official to congress we expect them to work for the best interest of the people. However, we have watched as many elected officials become lifelong politicians and exponentially grow their net worth, while the strength of the United States declined. These party politicians have had a lifetime to institute the beneficial changes they campaign on, but after they are re-elected diddly squat happens. You may say, “my federal elected officials are doing their level best,” and yes, there are committed patriots already serving in congress; but they cannot achieve success without “We the People” adding more patriots to their ranks at every election cycle. If “We the People” don’t want to be on the losing end of congressional decisions we need to make a statement and eliminate officials who are serving their own interest above the people’s well-being. As more people join Majority Votes and Patriots unite, nothing can stop change; change that will ensure the general welfare and freedom of every United States citizen and influence the world beyond.

             It cannot be better said than by a soldier who gave his life for freedom. “I will work, I will save, I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfully and do my utmost, as if the issue of the whole struggle depended on me alone.” Private Martin Treptow

             We ask elected officials to follow in the footsteps of this soldier to place Americans first and personal ambitions behind them when they take office, as did our founding fathers.
