"Decentralize the government"

Peter on Gardner Goldsmith's radio program

WELCOME! to the We The People campaign to bring a grass roots force
for REAL CHANGE into the next Congress.

This is the ONLY campaign in NH fighting to achieve three goals that go together: Work to change the rules of the game -- to improve Congress' ability to do your (our) public business better; that is (1) TO -->> Change-Congress.org & (2) END THE FINANCIAL ARMS RACE that Congressional campaigns have become, & (3) Downsize DC [move money & power out of Washington down home. See www.DownsizeDC.com].

Let's work to make the House of Representatives a people's house, not the best Congress money can buy!

This is YOUR campaign. Real Change is driven by citizen-leaders who get upset when they have had enough of government’s incompetence and then ACT to do something about it! 75% of the American public disapproves of the job Congress is doing. What are YOU going to do about it?

My thoughts about public service and Congressional representation are:

  • Politics is a responsibility, not a career.
  • I believe that I have a moral obligation to vote the preferences of the majority of people in my district – that I am elected to represent the district, not my personal opinions.
  • Congress is backward, knee-jerk, corrupt and resists change. It is badly in need of reform.
  • REAL CHANGE is really possible. It starts with one person with a vision, one innovator or one entrepreneur and one YOU talking to others. It does not come from playing a Washington insider’s game.
  • Government cannot be “for” the people if the politics to elect the government is not “of’ and “by” them.
  • We need a government that works with and for people and the public interest, not special interests, big money, media hype, political pro’s, elitist “experts” and the politically self-interested.

If you want to make a real difference, you need to help elect a really different kind of candidate. Thus, please let me describe my qualities to show you why I am truly the “different kind of candidate” who can serve you best in Congress. I am…

  • Someone for whom the #1 issue is how people can take back their politics & government.
  • An innovator and change-agent, someone who thinks "out of the box" and speaks his mind, not a go-along, get-along politician.
  • A watchdog, whistleblower and enforcer of accountability.
  • A conservative economist with international experience who can help you weather the downside and deal with global competition.
  • A far-sighted person who keeps his eye on the ball of how to make things better over the long term, not the ball of the next election.
  • A man who puts forth an enforceable “compact” with constituents.
  • A candidate who would devote the resources of his salary and office to informing, enabling, and empowering you, not for self-promotion.
  • A candidate who has signed the NH pledge to limit campaign expenditures, so we can end the financial arms-race that congressional politics has become.
  • A candidate who would fight to fulfill President Reagan’s dream – to move power and money out of Washington and back to you.

I am a man of conscience, backbone, and independence, and ask for your support to initiate REAL CHANGE after the next Election.

My campaign and candidacy for Congress featured by this website are unique.

Please join me in a worldwide movement by people to take back control over their lives from corrupt, incompetent or indifferent governments, and in a national movement to CHANGE CONGRESS! We're going to have a speak-out, question everything, kick butt, raise hell, take no prisoners and laugh-a-lot-while- doing-it campaign.

  • LOOK HERE! There’s a lot provided here for you in over 15 pages -- because I believe in truthfulness and full disclosure. When did you last see these in Congress?
  • Scan the pages!; have fun with the "LAUGHaLOT" page; BLOG on another page; send E-MAILS. Let's build a winning political community together in New Hampshire's 1st Congressional District.
  • Bookmark this site! Pass it on to those on your contacts list. Get in on the ground floor and help to build a great '08 campaign. This site not only presents a platform; it is one. Add your own content and videos to the mix. Do return visits. The pages change as the campaign develops. Join the dynamic.

For this is the campaign to help us to fulfill the still-unfulfilled potential of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, so that “this nation of the people, by the people and for the people does not perish from the earth.” This is the “of” and “by” campaign -- because if politics and government are not of you and by you, how can they be “for” you?

This is also a values campaign. Check the icons below. They represent the basic values that I hold dear. Click on each to see how.

“Making a difference” is the key. “Ordinary” people, who we know from 9/11 and the rest of our American history are capable of extraordinary things, have been politically castrated by a Congress that has been taken over by political pro’s, money and media. BUT, with the help of a new kind of Congressman and Congressional Office, it will be possible for anyone to speak with a voice that echoes and/or to take effective action on the issues that most concern most of us. Read on to see more of the WHY and HOW!
