* Elections are paid for with tax dollars.

* Equal media time for all candidates of any party or non-party, with an emphasis on debates and town meetings.

* Unlimited internet campaigning on FREE community sites such as YouTube.

* 100% of Campaign fundraising monies may only go to pay for the issues they are running on. Thus, partially demonstrating their ability and commitment to the people.

* Put them on the spot: Real questions, unrehearsed, not moderated and must be answered to the best of their knowledge.

The American people would still have Monday night football...

Mission Statement

2009-11-12T21:17:00.000-08:00

Mission:

The Mission of Building Blocks is to assemble provide forum and to cultivate, diverse, individual and group perspectives for the primary purpose of objective problem solving. To this end, we will engage important social, political, cultural, environmental and philosophical issues in the context of non-partisanship and self-representation. We intend to redefine the concept of a protest as a demonstration that introduces solutions from a myriad of perspectives. Building Blocks will employ multimedia as a vital tool providing alternative options for individuals expressive sensibilities. Thus, creating an environment that converges opposition, allegiance (and everything in between) towards a common productive resolve.
