Voter Advocate Challenges Media: Inform Voters of Gridlock Cures — Not Just Causes

OMAHA, Neb., July 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — American voters are frustrated and they don’t know what to do about it. A recent Gallup survey pegged congressional disapproval at 80% for 2014.

Voters are fearful that the 2014 election will only lead to two more years of the same politics they’ve suffered for the last two years. This spirals downward to even more voter fatigue and apathy, and ever lower voter turnout.

Voter Advocate and Author Larry R. Bradley offers Editors a new message for those frustrated voters.

“American voters need to recognize the true cause of their frustration. They have the behavior they have from elected officials because of the system being used to elect those officials,” says Bradley. “Voters will have the behavior and frustration so long as they continue to use the existing system. If voters want better behavior and results from elected officials, then the cure they need is to first change the electoral system.”

Bradley, who speaks to groups on this topic, has three specific commitments he says voters should be demanding of the current 2014 candidates in order to earn the voters’ support. They are:

• Give voters more competitive choices and candidates with Ranked Choice Voting.
• Neutralize Gerrymandering by instituting Proportional Representation.
• Authorize true proportional allocation of Electors based solely on the statewide popular vote within each state without being tied to Congressional Districts.

Bradley notes that, “Einstein once said, ‘Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.’ Yet Americans fail to recognize their frustration with politics and government is due to using the same defective political system and not fixing its flaws. Even worse is that American media is failing to inform voters of the changes they could and should be demanding.”

“All of these changes,” continues Bradley, “are within the existing authority of state governments to approve. The approval of the changes will completely transform the productivity of our Federal Government for the better.”

Bradley is already scheduled for several appearances in conjunction with his DVD, Why the Two Party System Isn’t Working Anymore: And What to do About it, in the Fall of 2014.
