They Brand New Congress (BNC) are a group of people who got tired of the partisan politics we were seeing in the news.
They saw the problems we were facing as a Nation, and they just wanted to see solutions.
If our current Congress wasn't going to do it, they decided they will.
Then they will present a solution to the American people for a vote during the 2018 mid-term Elections.
The BNC's plan calls for a mobilization on the scale of World War II. one in which every American is called upon to rebuild and repair our communities and our Nation.
Imagine every unemployed person in your Community or City suddenly having work, struggling small businesses suddenly on a level playing field with big business, and all businesses suddenly having access to the same capital, infrastructure and other advantages currently available to them overseas.
If the Government can spend trillions of dollars to subsidize the failures of Wall Street and perpetual war, it can spend that kind of money on Main Steet, investing in our communities and our future.
The Brand New Congress plan will:
- Invest trillions of dollars to rebuild and repair Towns, Cities and Rural areas that politicians have allowed to disintegrate for half a century.
- Spend exactly what it will take to repair our Nation’s broken infrastructure, which is $3.6 trillion according to the American Society of Civil Engineers.
- Put small business on the same playing field as big business by rewriting the tax code and revamping Government regulations across the board.
- Build the inevitable free energy economy now, creating tens of millions of good high-tech jobs and saving the Country many trillions of dollars, because energy from the wind and sun come free.
- Solve the healthcare mess once and for all by making Medicare available to anyone who wants it, and letting insurance companies fend for themselves in a truly free market.
- Invest in new-tech industries that will provide millions of high wage jobs, just like all successful industrialized Countries are doing right now.
They will get money out of politics once and for all: This means getting rid of the revolving door between Wall Street and our Government. It means repealing Citizens United. It means moving to a publicly financed, transparent system of campaign financing that amplifies small donations. And it means all BNC candidates pledging to never lobby Congress after they're out of office.
They will give every Government body new marching orders: "Your job is to serve the people -- no longer to target, abuse, surveil, micromanage, nickle and dime and belittle the people you were hired to serve." they will back that up by removing Government bureaucrats who can't understand or won't comply with their new orders. And they will back it up by cutting out blatant and obvious waste, while providing generous funding and training to the agencies and staff that do the real work and that have been starved of support for decades.
They will support the demands for justice from all groups that have been targeted by Government: Today just about everyone in America feels targeted by government at some level. What's sad is that they also feel pitted against each other. It's time for the American people to make common cause and see that the cries for justice by all Americans are connected including Black people, small business owners, Native Americans, low income people, rural people, immigrants, disabled people, foster children, Latinos, manufacturers who want to build in America, small town governments, and we could go on and on with this list!
Overhaul the IRS and the tax code to stop targeting small business owners and working people who are just trying to make ends meet while turning a blind eye to tax evasion by multi-billionaires and giant corporations.
How will BNC do that?
They say they can only carry out their plan if the American people give their candidates a sweeping majority in Congress and a partner in the White House. It will take at least until 2020 to achieve that. Until then, they will be running a constant campaign across the whole Country to win that majority. In 2018, they will use however many seats the American people give them to fight as hard as they possibly can for them and show them what they are capable of. They will shine a light on corruption, act as a watchdog for the people inside the Capital, stop every bad bill and win every part of our plan that we can.
Once they have a majority, Brand New Congress will govern like America has never seen in peacetime before: by actually getting stuff done! There will be no debating or horse trading, because the BNC candidates all enter Congress already having agreed on the plan. They will have all the Legislation written and published for review by the people BEFORE the 2018 Election! It's what the American people will have elected them to pass, and they will pass it on Day One.
It will take at least until the end of 2017 to work out all the details of the Legislation. But the basic values, principles and ideas of the BNC plan are available.
Right now, BNC’s Working Group is responsible for leading this process. Once they have a critical mass of candidates, responsibility will shift to them.
