The Honest Government Manifesto
Take Back Control, End Corruption, Restore the American Dream

If only we had a government that truly represented the people.… How can we reclaim our liberties?

Since the elected leaders won’t fix the government from the inside, the people will have to fix it from the outside. Honest Government is a unique solution that reclaims control of government by fixing local, state, and national corruption. It is implemented outside of government, by ordinary citizens, so it works without the approval of anyone inside government.

The American Revolution defeated the aristocratic colonial government in order to form a Republic that was based on liberty and equality. After the Revolution, the Founders took steps to prevent the inequality of another elitist aristocracy. Despite this, an aristocratic elite has taken over control of government by buying the influence of politicians with inducements that include big campaign donations and lucrative job promises.

The Honest Government standards of integrity go beyond the existing anti-corruption laws which are so full of loopholes that they do little to prevent the elite’s control of government. Our standards restructure campaign donations and fundraising so that big donors can’t use them as leverage to control the elected leaders.

Candidates with integrity are needed to replace the corrupt incumbents. By joining with the citizens on the Honest Government site, these candidates will gain a winning edge. Voters will be able to ensure the candidates don’t fall into corruption because they are bound and monitored with our standards of integrity. These new candidates might be disadvantaged by less experience, resources, or connections, but gaining voter trust will be a powerful advantage to overcome these. Our site is structured around its own social networking system for bringing the candidates and voters together, and for organizing and executing our electoral processes. Candidate campaign pages are linked on the election groups and include the tools for event coordination, communication, and for organizing supporters. By taking advantage of the advances in technology, we create a massive force for overwhelming the entrenched opposition.
