That sounds nice, Russ... unless you're from the South like we are, of course. :)

I think most people would agree that politicians are very opportunistic critters. Why aren't they banging on your door begging for your help? Alternatively, why aren't they leaving out the middle man (you) and simply stealing your idea?

is your idea flawed? Is your marketing flawed? Is it both? Stop wallowing in failure at
CW.com and address the reasons why your project is mired....even if you don't like those reasons. Bitching about why everbody else is stupid is wasting your time and is not going to advance your cause.

About that lightbulb. I can guess where CW would like to shove it....but he is a very patient overlord.

I hate it when people try to use the number of deaths as if it is the only factor that must be addressed when looking at these statistics! Not only do cars vastly outnumber firearms in this country, their “purposes for being” are vastly different! Guns shoot things. No one uses their guns to hammer on a new roof, you can’t ride it to work, and while they could be used as marital aides for the most adventurous of us...it isn’t recommended and would likely void any warranty you might have. No, guns really have only one function...and they are incredibly good at carrying out that function!

[44]. I ran a national non-profit for years and tried to offer Don some advice based on my years of experience regarding the numerous and blaring red flags that his site set off! I was given answers that did not answer the questions being asked, lame excuses that make little sense, and angry insults for not applauding his brilliant idea that will change everything we know about modern politics...just as soon as CW writes that article Don thinks he deserves!

Bless his heart....

My recycled previously asked questions are only being asked because your website still makes them relevant! Seriously, you still have the same run-on sentences, grammatical mistakes, and incoherent sentences for all the world to enjoy that I saw when I first visited your site over three years ago. Perhaps if you had done anything to make corrections that would address these questions, I wouldn’t have to ask them again.

that's really a good point! don should absolutely be seeking out current candidates and offering his organization's endorsement to the one who most embodies its principles.

You mean it's not Willie?

i don't have my own pie-nonprofit set up just yet, but when i do you can bet i'll give my full endorsement to the candidate that best supports pie. possibly don lemon, because lemon pie is outstanding!

Why not Snoop Dog? He invented lemon pie:

You thought I was kidding, didn't you? ;)

And is that really the best photo of you to make total strangers feel confident enough to give you their personal information? It might be a good photo if you signing up people for digidoo lessons or if you are running for the presidency of the Willie Nelson Fan Club, but that’s about it.

*laughs* His bio leaves a lot to be desired too. Read it and try to not laugh.

Who would give their personal information to a guy who describes himself like that?

Also, who in their right mind would advertise for a guy who describes himself that way... no matter how many times he trolled their website? There would be infinite legal issues involved in doing so, but who would expect a guy with a resume and picture like that to know what they are?

You never answer objections - you just change the subject and claim to have answered them.

"The deception/fraud is the candidates pretending that the small contributions they receive means they are running a small donor campaign."

Who exactly is doing that? Name some names linked to specific quotes.

"The deception/fraud is the media pretending that there is only a choice between big money candidates and do not inform citizens of other options when they are aware of other options and that anything other than a vote for one of those two is a wasted vote because this election is all that matters."

Again, who are these people in the media? Quotes.

Just because something offends your sensibility, doesn't make it fraud. There is no legal definition of a small donor candidate, Fed law says there 2 classes of individual donations: those of $200 and up to the max of $2800. Small donor:large donor is a popular shorthand that has caught on. Defining a small donor Candidate as one who only accepts donations <= $200 is YOUR Personal Litmus Test. It has no basis in law. A small donor Candidate could just as well be defined as one who averages <=$200 per donation. Why did you go high as $200 per donantion. I would venture to say many working families cannot afford to be that generous. What about pegging donations lower for candidates running for office in areas where mass media is relatively cheap? Allow larger donations in more affluent parts of the country where running an effective campaign tends be more expensive.

As for repeating myself, it is because you keep repeating the same tired patter. I think it is worth pointing that out every six months or so.

If you don't like the crowd here, nobody is making you visit. Find a blog more to your liking.

Just to reinforce LWYH. How many candidates have accepted your conditions? I'm thinking it's likely zero, and almost certainly very very few. Are you registered as a charity in N.J? Are you even accepting donations?

To clarify:

Nevertheless, with way smaller numbers of firearms being owned by way less Americans than use/own automobiles, the deaths by guns have surpassed those of automobiles. Very telling data, isn't it?

HOW MANY TRIPS WE TAKE EVERY DAY

Americans take 1.1 billion trips a day — four for every person in the U.S

U.S. daily travel averages 11 billion miles a day — almost 40 miles per person per day

HOW MANY TRIPS WE TAKE IN A YEAR

Americans take 411 billion daily trips a year or about 1,500 trips per person

U.S. daily travel totals about 4 trillion miles — 14,500 miles per person

WHY WE TRAVEL

45 percent of daily trips are taken for shopping and errands

27 percent of daily trips are social and recreational, such as visiting a friend

15 percent of daily trips are taken for commuting

https://www.bts.gov/statistical-products/surveys/national-household-travel-survey-daily-travel-quick-facts

These data regarding usage of automobiles by Americans are huge: 1.1 billion trips daily. Yet look at the disparity of deaths from firearms by comparison.

And if “dead is dead, whether by gun or by car”, then why would you exclude suicides? Dead is dead is what YOU said!

That's exactly what I said, Russ. There are millions and millions of car users every day and -- what? -- around 90% of Americans who either own or travel via automobile on a daily basis. And what do you suppose the ownership and use of firearms is by comparison? Around one third of America who owns a gun; we have no way to know since we mandate registration of automobiles but not firearms. Nevertheless, with way smaller numbers of firearms being owned by way less Americans than firearms, the deaths by guns have surpassed those of automobiles. Very telling data, isn't it?

not 'nuff for me. can you explain your own opinion on Citizens United? was the decision fair and/or just? even for folks like myself who clearly fall on one side of that line, it's not an issue that ought to be decided lightly.

here's someone i disagree with, but it's important to read and understand that side of the argument too:

Another shooting occurred at a separate facility that housed an ICE contractor.

In other words, this was an attack specifically targeting ICE and those who work with ICE.

So it occurred at the ICE contractor’s office?

No?

It was just in the same office complex where they happened to have an office.

At 3am, the only people there would have been the cleaning crew... who I doubt are their employees.

What seems most likely is that a random act of violence occurred at this office complex, but because the shooter is Hispanic, it suddenly became about ICE!

So is it 1Demand or One Demand or OneDemand?

Personally, I like 1Demand as it’ll help get rid of all the “On Demand” responses when you google your group!

Are you registered as a non-profit with the IRS, because you kinda make it sound like you are?

How many 2020 candidates have signaled that they are going to only accept small donations? If they are seriously running, they’ve already made their fund raising plans. You played no part in their deciding to accept small donations only, so what are you offering them to get them on board with you?

And is that really the best photo of you to make total strangers feel confident enough to give you their personal information? It might be a good photo if you signing up people for digidoo lessons or if you are running for the presidency of the Willie Nelson Fan Club, but that’s about it.

It's time that all ideas from all sources are entered into the public discourse- Toto too!

If CW did what you are requesting here, then what makes you think he’d get to you within the next 20 years? Your idea has been thoroughly addressed by multiple people on CW’s site — far more than it deserves!

The above post is my reply from a couple of days ago. I never heard back from CW, so I just retyped it.

My being OK with them owning a gun isn’t the issue. If they are cleared by law enforcement and mental health professionals, then they can purchase a gun if they choose to.

We're talking about FUTURE crimes...

No, we are talking about PREVENTING future crimes.

So, you feel that Beto O'Rourke should release his mental health records???

Why? Unless he has done something recently that would indicate he poses a threat to himself or others or is having significant cognitive problems, why would it be appropriate to view his private medical records?

Those are passages from Beto's online comments when he was part of a hacker group...

1. When you want me to comment on what someone said, it would be helpful to post what it is you are seeking my opinion on.

2. I am sick of people going to great lengths trying to find something that was said 10, 20, 30, or 50 years ago and treating it like the person just said those words today! We are expected to ignore everything that person has said and done since the statement was first uttered and judge them by today’s standards. I am not the same person today that I was 30 years ago. Life has a way of changing us, hopefully for the good, but not always.

What's your opinion of Democrats who want to vote for Beto, what with these violent fantasies that Beto put online for posterity...

A car’s primary function is as a transportation device, not as a weapon.

Excluding suicides, 3 times as many people are killed by cars than by guns every year..

Primary function is very relevant! Cars are used by millions of Americans every day without injury. They are not created focusing on their ability to kill others. Gun makers brag about how many rounds can be fired in a minute. Car makers never tout how many people can be run over by a car going from 0-60mph in under a minute.

Cars deaths are almost always accidental. No one wishing to kill their spouse buys a new car with that in mind! No one buys a car for “protection”! Face it, guns have switches labeled “safety” on them for a reason.

And if “dead is dead, whether by gun or by car”, then why would you exclude suicides? Dead is dead is what YOU said!

What fraud? Who is being deceived? So long as the letter of the law is followed with respect to single donor caps and how the money is spent, accepting the legal big donor limit is no more or less deceptive than accepting $200 or less. You might argue the system is unfair or poorly enforced, but these are not the same things as deceptive and/or legally fraudulent.

Who is going to enforce the "pledges" made to OneDemand? Voters have the legal right change their minds in the voting booth. Politicians are going to take that factor into account.

Is your data base secure? Who is going to audit OneDemand, to insure that you are not some huckster phishing for names,telephone numbers and/or credit cards?

If you can't sell an idea after repeated trying, you need to consider that your concept is fundamentally flawed, poorly explained, inadequately capitalized or just plain uninteresting or down right anathema to your target audience. Like Euro Disney was to the French.

Let the whining begin..

What part of "YOU ARE NOT WANTED IN ISRAEL" do these America/Israel haters not understand???

OK, now THAT is just creepy...

I guess it settles the question who had the most to gain from Epstein's death...

I know, I know.. It's WAY to early to start declaring winners based on polls this far out..

But if... I say again.. *IF* Warren is the Dem nominee... President Trump is guaranteed re-election...

Good call, Israel.. Why let these Jew/Israel haters get more bullshit and propaganda to spew around..

You mean, like Obama did with the Iran protesters???

Good on President Trump...

Anyone willing to give him credit??

"Anyone?? Anyone?? Buehler???"

I wouldn't say that..

The wizard is like Obama was... Offering hope to millions who had none..

Oh.. wait.. Yea, I guess yer right.. :D

"You might even find the solution you were looking everywhere else for was right in your own backyard"

Speaking of back yards, are you ever going to weed yours? It's still 2016 at OneDemand website HQ. What is a potential supporter supposed to do? Follow The Yellow Broke Road?

You should avoid references to the Wizard of Oz - where "The Wizard" is a flim flam man who has nothing tangible to offer. Too close to home.

Hard to believe that some think it was an actual suicide...

Why Isn’t AOC Taking Blame For Violent Attacks On ICE?

On its own, this incident is troubling. But it comes in the wake of an attack on another ICE office in Tacoma, Washington, where 69-year-old Willem Van Spronsen went armed with a rifle and threw Molotov cocktails, hoping to hit a propane tank.
https://issuesinsights.com/2019/08/15/why-isnt-aoc-taking-blame-for-violent-attacks-on-ice/

Funny how the Left totally ignores the attacks prompted by Democrat hateful rhetoric...

#sad

I saw that movie before.. Eddie Murphy THE DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN..

Funny movie.. :D

What's so funny about the Abrams debacle is that she is complaining about the State Sec doing something that DEMOCRATS forced him to do..

Irony... :D

Homan shares new video on ICE facility attack: Result of 'hateful rhetoric' from AOC's 'Squad,' 2020 Dems
https://www.foxnews.com/media/tom-homan-new-video-attack-tacoma-ice-facility

The fact is, there is hateful rhetoric that promotes violence on BOTH sides of the political spectrum..

Yes. Jerome Powell. He's Trump's very own pick so doesn't he have to be one of those "best people"?

Biden told reporters after the event that he botched a comment he had made many times, and that he meant to say “wealthy kids” instead of “white kids.”

“On the spot, I explained it,” Biden said. “At the very second, I explained it. And so the fact of the matter is that I don’t think anybody thinks that I meant anything other than what I meant.”

The problem is, as conventional campaign wisdom goes, if you're explaining, you're losing..

That same day, Biden also erred during a speech at the Iowa State Fair: “We choose science over fiction. We choose truth over facts.”

That's the one that really puts a nail in the coffin that is the Biden campaign..

:^/

Sad to see... :(

It's becoming clear that Epstein was murdered..

While it's true that the bones broken are consistent with hanging, it's also factually accurate that it happens MORE with strangulation by another party...

Obviously, nothing is conclusive yet..

But, the plot, as they say, thickens...

Who had Hickenlooper in the pool???

:D

I did not.. Looks like CW called that one.. :D

That's why he's the Grand Poobah...

" I know. I know. But it's his ship now, his command; he's in charge, he's the boss, the head man, the top dog, the big cheese, the head honcho, number one..."

I have to come to Harris' defense here..

Why slam or attack her for politicizing attacks and tragedies such as this??

It's what Democrats do... Their own messiah gave the command...

"We *MUST* politicize these tragedies"
-Barack Hussein Obama

.... and Harris simply goes forth and obeys..

Slamming and attacking a Democrat for politicizing gun tragedies is like slamming and attacking a person for breathing...

I'm just sayin'....

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said the suspect has a criminal history and "was able to get these weapons, and a large magazine, a large amount of bullets." The mayor criticized federal and state governments for what he said was a lack of progress on gun control and an unwillingness to stand up to the National Rifle Association and others.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/police-fired-upon-philadelphia-they-respond-shooting-incident-n1042436

Once again, an ignorant Democrat spouts off about a subject he, apparently, knows nothing about..

It's already illegal for the scumbag shooter to possess the weapons he had..

So how would MORE laws have prevented this??

Answer.. It wouldn't.

So, yer saying that the Russians DID interfere in the 2018 elections???

And Democrats didn't care because they won the House??

Is that the claim??

although his "send them back" idiocy kind of blew up in his own face a few weeks ago.

Actually, it worked perfectly with little to no blowback on President Trump..

It forced Democrats to back the increasingly unpopular "squad"...

It was a masterful stroke of genius...

To the Republicans, the equation is an easy one. The Squad equals rabid socialists who hate America. The Democratic Party equals the Squad. Therefore, if you value the American way of life and all it stands for, everyone's got to fight hard against the imminent takeover of the entire government by these four freshmen women in the House. To call this ludicrous is an understatement, for very obvious reasons, but that hasn't stopped Fox News and the entire right wing media from having fainting spells whenever any Squad member appears on television.

Except it's not ludicrous at all..

You claim the "Squad" has no real power.. Yet they are pushing the entire Party very forcefully to the Left..

You yourself commented that the Party has moved considerably to the Left.. That did not happen in a vacuum..

"Power perceived is power achieved.."
-Ernie Hudson, THE SUBSTITUTE

And the "Squad" have achieved a mass amount of power...

Meanwhile, Donald Trump is getting very worried that the economy he's been boasting about nonstop is about to suddenly become not so bragworthy.

Facts to support that President Trump is getting very worried???

Or do we just write that one off as wishful thinking? :D

Trump's basic problem is that it is nigh on impossible for him to even attempt blaming Democrats for bad economic news. Obama's been out of office for two and a half years now,

Which doesn't stop Democrats from giving Obama credit for the economy.. :D

The long and short of it is President Trump is still on track to be re-elected..

The ONLY logical and rational question is how big the landslide re-election is going to be..

Thanx for sharing..

After meeting for lunch yesterday, I was driving home with a friend of mine who does not follow politics at all, but knows that I enjoy it, when the radio news break mentioned Trump’s attacks on the Fed’s Chairman.

My friend nudges me and says, “It’s obvious why Trump cannot stand the guy and is blaming him for everything!”

“Because Trump needs a scapegoat for his own disastrous lack of planning his trade war with China?”

“No.”

“Because the Chairman is probably the last remaining appointment from the Obama administration to still have his job?

“No, but your getting closer.”

“I give up! Why is Trump going after him?”

“HELLOOOO! It’s because Trump is a racist!”

I almost drove off the road I was laughing so hard!

The current Chairman is Jerome Powell, He is white.

But in my friend’s defense, I cannot completely disregard his theory as I do not know if Trump has been made aware of Powell’s race.

I can't remember who said it, but somebody wanted to be re-incarnated as the bond market because it rules the World.

What fun.
