As an organization ODDUX will be devoted to bringing together the American citizen from all walks of life in order to facilitate the free exchange of ideas and knowledge to form a political the country has not seen since we were little more than a groups budding idea. We need to take the country back, we need to listen to each other and form comprises.
For to long we the common men and women of this country have been under the thumb of the exceedingly wealthy and powerful What started as by the people for the people has become by the people for the elite, who no longer have real discussion with their constituents

Think about the last time there was an election did you Congressman come to your hometown and give a speech at the park like they used to do and take questions from the audience {not the press}. My dream is to have a candidate who keeps to his roots, who is willing to reach out to the blue collar man to address our needs, one who can rekindle the fire of liberty in our hearts to bring the government back to the people.

Imagine this, instead of listening to a county forum for a commissioner’s race where the candidate TELLS you how things will run if elected why not a commission of citizens from every tax bracket in a certain area spanning all age groups from 18 up, the only education requirement is a high school diploma or equivalent all major issues of the day identified and opposing view points would also sit together on this commission

The logger with the environmentalist and so on. This commission will form before an election or even a candidate is selected and reach and draft a resolution on the issues as to where the party stands and put it to a vote of party members in a primary type public vote. Then a candidate most closely representing the wishes of the people is selected. After the issues are decided and the parties stance on those issues then e he next process will be a series of meetings between the candidate and the commission where he is told what the people expect of him or her and how he is expected to act while he or she is in office.

There is much work to be done people these are just one mans ideas but I think most will agree that we need to give government back to the governed.

I don't know what ODDUX stands for or if it is even an organization yet or just your suggestion. BUT, I think you have a GREAT idea, the problem is with the two party system, it ain't gonna happen.

You are right that that is what should happen, but being realistic, to even get INTO a meeting for the pub's last presidential election, you had to sign a pledge to vote for Bush. (not a pledge to be open minded and learn from what was discussed at the meeting and make up your mind - but a pledge to VOTE for him). And he won...

SO, I applaud your idea, and hope you are successful, but I will not be holding my breath. Sorry.

That's quite a bit to ask in the ways of participation from a populace that only gets politically involved when it's screaming for blood for the reason of the moment pas presented by CNN or FOXnews....
