Learn how the establishment determines which candidates appear on the November ballot through the party's power to endorse. Learn how regular citizens can help take back the parties and change the status quo. It is probably easier than you think!

People talk about "policy" in politics all the time. But, few talk about "process." It as almost as if people think the process behind politics doesn't exist, but it does. It has an enormous influence in determining the future! The good news is, there are ways for the citizens to play a major role in impacting process. By doing so, they can help lead our country toward a brighter future. Here's how!

In this episode we begin the discussion of why the people should take the parties back. Congress has an approval rating of around 13%, yet over 96% of incumbents get re-elected. Why? Because the people have lost control of the candidate selection process. Due to gerrymandering, "Remember in November" for many races is too late. To make a change, the primary is the key. The power of local parties to endorse gives them tremendous influence over who wins the primary. To change the status quo, the people must take back local parties from the establishment and endorse more principled representatives. Doing so is easier than most people think.

Some worry that the power of party endorsements is so strong the process should be done away with! But, the real issue is who decides endorsements? Is it the people protecting their liberty or corrupt and conflicted insiders protecting their self-interests? In the people's hands, the power to endorse is a nearly unmatched power to do good and protect our liberty. Learn how the people can claim the power!
