Questions You May Have about the Single Issue Movement

Q: I have always voted for a specific party. Does this mean I may have to switch?
Not necessarily. You may be surprised at how many legislators hate the fact that they spend half their time just raising money and would jump at the chance to change the system. But it’s all important that you vote for whatever candidate takes the pledge, or change will never happen.

Q: If a candidate is elected on just the single issue of getting money out of politics, what about all the other legislative issues that arise?
Taking away money from special interests gives legislators the power to vote for what best reflects the thoughts and beliefs of the constituency that placed them in office. Without the pressure of private campaign funding, legislators are free to vote for the issues that matter to the public in a non-biased way.

Q: What if we need to run a third party candidate? How do we get on the ballot?
Won’t we be taking votes away from a good candidate, just because they wouldn’t sign the pledge?
Shoe leather and door knock to get petitions signed is the normal way, but you need to research how to do it in your area. As far as taking votes away from a “good” candidate, it’s your decision, but be aware that without changes to the legalized bribery we have now, it’s probably a wasted vote
