Declaration of Candidacy and Movement to Break America’s Destructive 2-party System
Michael Jingozian • CEO, Angelvision • Leading non 2-party candidate for President of the United States www.ResetAmerica.com(Portland, OR) Michael Jingozian, founder and CEO of AngelVision, has announced his candidacy for the Libertarian nomination for President of the United States. Although a recognized leader in business management, he is dedicating his resources and fulltime efforts to the campaign.
Jingozian is also the Founder of RESET America, recognized by many as a viable plan to save our freedom and liberties before valid solutions begin to disappear. RESET America offers a specific course of action to alter our nation’s current trajectory by reorienting our policy around six areas of sustainability: economic, environmental, societal, health and well-being, foreign policy, and lastly, democracy and freedom. The organization is headquartered in Portland, Oregon, and employs a fulltime staff.
Jingozian has already built an impressive organization towards the support of his Presidential bid, which is garnering support from many organizations that are proving to be allies in the fight to break the 2-party system and bring new voices into government. The early response to his message is formidable compared to the 3rd party campaigns of preceding elections. However, despite this early momentum, they do not intend to fully launch their campaign until March 2008.
Jingozian reminds us that 74 percent – according to recent polling data – of Americans do not believe that Congress is doing its job yet 98 percent of representatives are reelected. Jingozian says that we keep voting for the same people because of “story pollution,” that is, Americans have been convinced that voting for a 3rd party is a “wasted vote.” However, said Jingozian, “We need to remember that during another point in history, when our nation was deeply divided, we elected a 3rd party candidate, and that individual was Abraham Lincoln.”
When asked about fundraising, Jingozian states that his campaign is adequately funded until their launch. He adds, “If we need to raise funds to make this work, then this movement will fail. There’s no amount of money large enough to start a voter revolution. This movement will work because people know that this is the ONLY way we can solve our nation’s problems. The response from our website is higher than we had expected at this stage. People are eager to take action.”
Plus, remarks Jingozian, “Why do we need to raise funds in the first place? The Democrats and Republicans are doing our job for us by proving that neither party has the right solution. The millions that they raise from corporations, lobbyists, and special interest groups validate the fact that we need a non-Democrat or Republican President in 2008.”
Jingozian has no delusions about what he intends to accomplish as President. He plans to use his Presidential veto power to stop what he says is the “uncontrolled use of Band-Aid solutions and shameful legislation that are destroying our economy and environment – all to the benefit of a small minority and at the expense of the middle class.” Jingozian says that since he is not collecting funds from corporations or lobbyists means that nobody owns RESET America or his campaign.
Although Jingozian intends to direct the majority of his efforts towards making the country more sustainable, he also plans to assist the campaigns other Independent and 3rd party candidates. According to Jingozian, “We plan to enroll ALL concerned Americans who feel betrayed by the Democrats and Republicans. Our agenda appeals to ALL Americans, not just Libertarians. By focusing on our shared goals first (including increasing Ballot Access), we plan to use our momentum to attract legitimate Libertarian candidates for the House and Sentate for 2010 and 2012.
Heather Marsh, Executive Director of RESET America states, “To restore Americans’ faith in their government and their country, we need to put the interests of the people above politics: the interests of the people are best served by incorporating sustainability into every policy decision. This is done by having new voices and new ideas injected into our democratic process.”
Jingozian feels that America is ready for a change. “We hear from everyone that the 2-party system is destroying our country. We need to elect people who put honesty and integrity and doing what’s right before political favors, opinion polls, and fundraising. We must convince the American people to only vote for Independent and 3rd party Candidates for all positions of government from President to Water Commissioner.”
RESET America is planning to kickoff a 30-point promotional campaign that includes Internet Documentaries, YouTube Videos and “RESET stamp pub nights.” Some political insiders say that this movement has the potential to catapult all 3rd parties, including the Greens, Working Families, Reform and yes, of course, the Libertarians onto the public stage.
Michael Jingozian is a pioneer in holistic management. He has 24 years experience in building companies and enrolling people in a shared vision. In 2001, he founded AngelVision Technologies (www.AngelVisionTech.com).
AngelVision is one of the fastest growing business media companies in the nation and was recently voted the 15th Best Company to Work for in Oregon by its employees. They have won numerous awards in innovation, marketing, and management. They were recently awarded the 2007 American Business “Stevie Award” for the Top Interactive Media Firm in the nation. They intend to use this knowledge of the Internet and media to deliver their message to the American People.
Michael Jingozian received his BS from NYU in 1983 with a 4.0 GPA in his major field of study, honors economics. He received a MBA from Bentley College (1991) and earned a Certificate of Advanced Study in Applied Science from Harvard University in 1993. In 2006, Jingozian was awarded the Pinnacle Award for the Outstanding Mentoring of Fellow Professionals.
