Mission Statement

Americans Uniting for Ethical Politics

Our twofold goal:

Reducing the probability that the ever-present Powerful Few will engage in anti-social activities by understanding their motives.

With this knowledge, effectively marketing substantive policies that benefit the many and not the few.

Never Doubt That a Small Group of Thoughtful, Committed Citizens Can Change the World; Indeed, It’s the Only Thing That Ever Has

Attributed to Margaret Mead

We are looking for someone who has experience and skills in political organizing at the initial stages. Especially need those with ability to engage in meta-framing. Skills we are looking for are: Grasp of the concept of meta-framing; Knowledge of what kind of people would be good at launching a new political organization; how to find and reach out to them, and the other associated skills. Please use the contact form to reach out to us.

Our Plan And Mission

Goal Of a New Political Enlightenment (V 2.0)

We are looking for individuals who have an interest in the American political-economic system and the rebuilding of a "structure of incentives." The purpose of this structure is to incentivize pro-social behavior and disincentive anti-social behavior by the powerful few. In contrast to many political organizations whose primary focus is on implementing particular moral ideals, we believe the highest goal of politics is preventing the powerful few from dominating politics and only then pursuing substantive policy goals. Our coalition seeks to better the lives of citizens in general by understanding the incentives that motivate those in high places in both business and politics. We are focused on behavior, not moral intentions. Click here for more information.
