Why Pete Deserves Your Vote

For the first time in the history of human democracy, we have the opportunity to make our government truly representative. Pete Ashdown is uniquely suited to make this opportunity a reality. Through the use of modern communication and collaborative technologies, the public can have a voice equal to paid lobbyists who see our elected officials every day. Unfortunately, the majority of our federal representation not only lacks the ability to implement these changes, but the will to do so as well. They retain office through a system which depends on keeping the general public uninformed and cynical towards politics. Enabling the American voice to focus on our toughest problems will eliminate apathy towards our government. Implementing transparency in our representation will ensure that American public interest comes before private. This change will start by electing Pete Ashdown.
