The United States is a nation of laws. If "the people" want to change a governmental policy it must be done through laws - or the legislative process. PCP aims to focus resources toward promoting policies that are responsible and sensible, and discouraging cruel policies.
Already, voters can lobby incumbent representatives to let their votes accurately represent constituent opinions.
But who does that? Who actually reaches out to their congress person or governor or mayor?
If people don't like the government policies it is up to the people to SAY SOMETHING.
The best way for the Post-Capitalism Party to make a difference is through impacting legislation.
How can we do that?
- PCP can help coordinate communication campaigns on legislation that is up for vote
- PCP's legal team can help craft new legislation that can be brought before Congress for debate and vote
- PCP can run its own candidates, those who uphold our tenets and will support legislation that is sensible and fair
LEGISLATIVE IMPACT - AMASSING POPULAR SUPPORT
PCP can impact legislation by helping to amass and coordinate public support, with that support translating into many individuals contacting their representatives about the same issue.
We have an entire section on petitions. In this case we mean trying to bring new legislation or a revision to existing legislation.
We can influence legislation whether we have candidates in office or not. As a group or as just an entity that inspires people to act individually, PCP can have real impacts on legislation that comes before congress NOW not just at election time.
