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 - CRAFTING BETTER LEGISLATION
That popular support we amassed in the last section can be focused where communication can make a difference NOW.
We can influence legislation whether we have candidates in office or not. We can sway legislation that is up for vote.
We can also craft better proposals. Why wait for someone else to propose a (legislative) bill?
Do we want a balanced federal budget?
Do we want single-item bills instead of giant bills nobody can read (filled with pork)?
There are things the majority agrees on even if we differ on the specifics of tax policy.
If a problem exists and no law addresses it, we can create a proposal to address that concern.
Of course we want to be careful to not turn into the police state we work against. But that being said, there are many, many areas where laws do not match justice.
With the guidance of PCP's legal team new prospective legislative bills can be crafted to meet the demands of the people.
