4. Make America Truthful Again #MATA

Take the Truth Pledge

To address the deep cause roots for our corrupt, crony democracy, we, the People, must advocate for creating a bipartisan pledge that holds politicians transparently accountability to the truth, with consequences (including grounds for disqualification) for pledge violations.

All candidates must sign the truth pledge before applying for political office. This is the best strategy for getting rid of con artists, corruption and the three fatal character flaws in politics: narcissism, sociopathy and megalomania. This is essential for creating a virtuous democracy to serve the people.

Stop the Abuse of Free Speech

Free speech without transparent accountability promotes lying in politics. The abuse of free speech has created epidemics of fake news. In the post-truth era, beliefs and bias trump facts and evidence in the alt-reality. The negativity of fake news is diminishing the USA.

• Without truth, there is no trust in politics. 
• Without trust, there is no good governance. 
• Without good governance, we cannot "Make America Great Again".

Political extremists exert disproportionate power by using bias, falsehoods and fake news to reinforce their hard-core tribal loyalty. Political fundamentalism on the fringes perpetuate dysfunctional polarizations to control the center.

Most mainstream republicans and democrats avoid discussing what is fake news outside of their political bubbles. This avoidance leaves the silent majority powerless in the middle.

#HateTrumpsTruth

Trump divides people into warring factions. He abuses his free speech by manipulating his tribe into hating and scapegoating others. His fear-mongering, fake news and false promises bind his followers together in a bond of blind loyalty.

The Resistance and Not My President movements have escalated the levels of dysfunctional political polarizations with counterproductive effects. Trump supporters have become more loyal and blind to his fake news.

Put Truth Above Party Loyalty

Blind political loyalty prevents warring fractions from reaching common ground about what's true and false. Free-thinkers put truth above party loyalty.

True patriots soar on the wings of truth. 

To reach higher ground, we must rise up together up for truth, transparent accountability and justice.

#WintheTwitterWar

Trump skillfully maintains his loyal base by using his 30 million Twitter account. #Trumpites believe his fake news. His unified minority rides roughshod over the fragmented silent majority.

Trump-ism is just a symptom of a much larger problem that enabled his presidency. Firing Trump will not address the deep root problem. The alt-right propaganda machine is a war of words without weapons. This neo-terrorism has successfully generated disproportional political power. The tail wags the dog.

Trump used Twitter and four words, Make America Great Again, to win the Presidency.

We, the people, can use Twitter and four words, Make America Truthful Again, to end the tyranny of negative politics. To unite the silent majority in defeating fake news, we must engage activist groups to use petitions for the truth campaign. 

#MakeTruthTriumphOverTrump

We, the people, must take charge of the News Media Cycle by using a combination of advocacy strategies and petitions to :

1. #InviteTrumptoResign
2. #ImpeachTrump
3. #FireTrump

These strategies will help put an end to political insanity.

1. #InviteTrumptoResign

If Trump were a CEO, the Board of Directors would ask him to resign based on his dysfunctional leadership, his toxic culture and the destruction of the USA brand.

This invitation is a no-confidence vote in Trump. Imagine millions of people making this request. 

We, the people, invite President Trump to resign with immunity provided that he gives full disclosure about

• #TrumpTaxReturns
• #PutinGate 
• #TrumpRussia ties 

Trump’s response to this deal will depend on what he's hiding and what will be revealed. Trump's refusal to accept this invitation could set the stage to:

• Create divisions within his political base
• Flip the Senate and Congress in the 2018 mid-term elections.

2. #ImpeachTrump

Comey’s testimonial laid the foundation for a possible impeachment. It will take time for Special Counsellor Robert Mueller to gather evidence to justify impeachment and the prosecution of Trump associates. Impeachment proceedings are unlikely given that the GOP puts their party above the people.

Only the voices and the votes of the people can make the GOP come to their senses and put our republic above their party. The court of public opinion could sway the GOP.

3. #FireTrump

Truth-seekers advocate for using the 25th Amendment to remove Trump, based on his incompetence, his fake news addiction and his character flaws: sociopathy, narcissism and megalomania.

How much worse does Trump's incompetence have to deteriorate before truth-seekers persuade the GOP that enough is enough? 

What will be the final straw to break the GOP bonds of blind unconditional loyalty?
