A Truly Free and Equal Nominating System for United States Congress
Eliminating the influence of money in elections.
America’s Main Street Party was founded to fundamentally change the relationship between politicians and money.
Our mission is to eliminate financial influence in elections by creating a free and equal nominating system for United States Congress.
Our objective is to increase public engagement and steer representation away from extremism, back to where most voters live. Ultimately, to disrupt the partisan gridlock we’re seeing in Congress today.
Elevating fresh and viable candidates.
The Party will offer constituents an environment to screen potential candidates and reduce the field via a multi-round elimination. It will be a fair and open competition, like making the Olympic team.
Using technology to achieve mass voter engagement dampens the influence of extreme partisans and motivates candidates to broadly represent the people of their district or state. SuperPAC support is provided after the people choose their nominee, assuring constituents the strong campaign required to take down a major party incumbent.
James Wilson, original author of the “free and equal” clause, lectured that fair elections were essential to attain the true voice of the people, and without them, the entire “fountain of democracy” is poisoned.
First, let’s clean up the House.
The Party will initially focus on uncompetitive districts in the United States House of Representatives where incumbents often run barely opposed, always launching an equal number of campaigns in blue and red districts.
The goal is to disrupt the rule by majority party, elect a broadly supported Speaker of the House and restore a coalition-driven legislative process.
The intent is to expand the number of campaigns in each election cycle and eventually include nominations for the United States Senate and Presidency.
Restoring the voice of the people.
America’s Main Street Party represents one component of Wilson’s Fountain, a repurposing of the United States political committee system resulting in an innovative way to finance campaigns.
Operating under the Wilson’s Fountain paradigm, Party candidates have no access to campaign funds, are prohibited from making extraordinary contributions to their own campaign and required to adhere to Party rules in order to obtain SuperPAC support.
Local committees utilize the Party’s technology platform to administer the nominating process, facilitate district engagement, and assure data integrity.
Reforming elections is urgent and doable, but we need you to join us.
