Comments for California Moderate Party http://CAMod.org a way to fix our broken government Wed, 16 May 2012 22:44:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= Comment on Moving On by California Moderate http://CAMod.org/2012/04/moving-on/#comment-66 California Moderate Wed, 16 May 2012 22:44:00 +0000 http://CAMod.org/?p=3267#comment-66 It's alright to move on Ash, but don't completely abandon this! You have to be a billionaire to do something like this on your own, full-time. The rest of us have to feed ourselves and our families, so it is completely understandable. However, please don't be disillusioned. We need people like you and unfortunately patience is a necessary virtue.  Remember, stuff like this takes years to catch on. I hadn't heard about it till today, and I consider myself on the bleeding edge... Keep fighting for all Californians! It’s alright to move on Ash, but don’t completely abandon this!

Hmmm...and I tried clicking on the link, and it said it was the "wrong place," perhaps it's the wrong URL? Thank you, for Ash's contact info. though!

They may be interested in participating in and/or supporting this effort. You can reach Ash at info@camod.org.

Is there absolutely ANY way some individual (or group of individuals), takes the initiative to gain back some lost momentum? I became VERY interested in all of this, and it contuses me to see it go! So much work effort, time, and energy...down the drain! Please reply, I would like to know for sure what it going on!!! P.S.- Does Mr. Ash have any contact info.? Thank you! I agree!

It would be a shame to have to set something new up from scratch, unless people wanted to change the name or something else major. It would be interesting to see what response there would be to asking people to sign a letter of intent to join the Camod party. As I recall, it takes about 1.1 million signatures. That would likely take several years to accomplish - getting there will take a constant web presence at the very least. Also, unless I am mistaken, I think that Ash mentioned somewhere here that it would be possible next year to have voters sign letters of intent electronically. If so, that option should be readily available. I suspect that if California's economic situation continues to be difficult, at least some people will eventually look for an alternative to the two parties.  Without money behind this, the effort is going to be a very long marathon, not a sprint. Trying to attain party status in California will likely take at about 4 years, maybe longer. The California Modern Whig party seems recently (March 2012) to have gone defunct. Maybe an invitation to those folks, who are politically closer to the Camod group than about anyone else, makes some sense. The rest of the existing third parties in California are all hard core political and/or religious ideologues (similar to the democratic and republican parties), not pragmatists dedicated to honesty, transparency and real common sense problem solving, so going to them seems to be a waste of time.  Maybe Ash would allow you or someone else to maintain the website.

I only heard about this movement a week ago, and I was ready to start promoting it to people when I saw it was ending. I hope you can find someone to take the reins and/or work alongside you to keep the movement going. I would expect that this kind of movement would require more than nine months to gain traction.

McCluskey Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:17:00 +0000 http://CAMod.org/?p=3267#comment-58 Too bad , this had the scent of something in the world of poltics, that I have been searching for , durning the last 20 yrs. A smell of freshness and a breeze of honesty, in the foul atmoshere of long time political degradation and courruption . The lack of local knowledge and issues facing the everyday workingman by those elected officals , in our state capitol is so overwhelming , that they do not even seem to live in the same state , as we their electorate do. I truly felt that the Ca. Moderate party might just be able to change that , I had  hoped that enough people might have the ability to see beyond their own toes and look towards the future , enough to get this fresh new way of approaching the problems in this state , off the ground and into the state house .  I wll still stand with all who want to continue this effort. You may contact me , by reponding to this comment and on Facebook , thank you for the time you took reading this comment...Kirk L. McCluskey .

I'm with you in hoping that somebody has tehr energy, knowledge and willingness to carry it on.  I will try to think of something I can do as a senior disable person, to carry the message and even help someone who picks up that challenge. At various times in my life I have worked on campaigns in both major parties, for over 50 years and I am disgusted by the behavior of both of them. We need a party that work for solutions, not poltiical ideology. My partner is a very strong believer in what you tried to do.
