Get Out Of Our House: Revolution!

by Tim Cox

Politicians have taken control of our government, and the long-term viability of our nation is at risk. The time has come to take a stand—we cannot afford to wait any longer. Get Out of Our House (GOOOH) details the plan America will use to evict all 435 politicians from the United States House of Representatives—replacing them with patriots just like you. Author and patriot Tim Cox has created a system designed to bypass the two parties, sever all ties with special interest money, replace career politicians, and hold elected officials accountable. GOOOH was designed not to favor any person or viewpoint. The system allows the people who participate in the process to select the candidate who can best represent their district.This is your call to action. Will you join the revolution, or leave the problem for our children and grandchildren? Every American patriot is encouraged to step forward. The fate of our nation depends on you. It is time to engage!

To say that the American people do not think that Congress is doing a good job is a huge understatement. This book provides an interesting proposal to change that.

The first step is to visit http://www.goooh.com ("Get Out of Our House"). It costs money to sign up at the site, to weed out those who are not serious. Those who are serious will have to answer over 100 questions about how they will vote on various issues. They are Yes/No questions, designed to provide no political wiggle room. If enough people from a certain Congressional district sign up and pledge money, the special interests used to buying elections are bypassed. The people who signed up get together to choose a Congressional candidate, the person who best represents that district. After being elected, if, at any time, the person votes contrary to the way they voted on the questionnaire, they are obligated to resign.

The answers to the questions coming from Cambridge, MA or San Francisco are going to be different than the answers coming from Dallas. That’s the idea; the object is to find the person who best represents that district. Among the questions: Will you vote to replace the current tax system with the Fair Tax as proposed by Linder and Boortz? Will you vote for a government-controlled National Health Care System that offers "free" health care to all? Will you vote to amend the Constitution to exclude people with a law degree from serving in the House? Will you vote to make birth control pills available for free to every girl under the age of twenty-one? Will you vow to support a completely free press at all times? Will you vote to declare that a person who commits a crime, and is subsequently found guilty of said crime, has forfeited all but his most basic rights from the moment his crime was committed until the moment he is released?

The problem is not getting this or that member out of the House of Representatives, and then everything will be all right, but getting everyone out, and starting from scratch. Many proposals have been put forward to do just that; this one deserves serious consideration.

Some interesting points made about the state of our nation and representation. I'm currently an active member of the movement, but I disagree with the prevelence and push for some of Tim Cox's personal views in the movement to re-establish true representation in the House. I do like the general layout for how to go about selecting candidates locally, and think it's a fairly workable method to get the public back into the process. At the time of this review; however, a number of main ideas (ie. term limits) of GOOOH are inconsistent in my view. Well worth looking into though. If nothing else, take a look at their website (www.goooh.com).

There is hope. We can retake control of our government if the people will only step forward. The question is, do Americans care enough to give this revolutionary idea a chance.
