Here's your annual reminder to check the box on your #Form1040 for a $3 contribution to the Presidential #Election Campaign.

Doing so will not change your #taxes in any way. It will, however, be a first step in replacing our current, money-driven election system with a publicly financed #elections. Publicly financed elections would force candidates to focus on the issues, not on their next paycheck. It would make them less beholden to wealthy special interests ([coughs] #Elon). #Votes, not money, should decide elections.

Let's get the money out of #politics! Check the box! ✅

"The campaign for Susan Crawford, the Democratic-backed candidate for #Wisconsin Supreme Court, said #Musk was trying to buy #votes ahead of the April 1 election. The offer was made two days after early voting started in the hotly contested race between Crawford and Brad Schimel, the preferred candidate of Musk and Republicans."

The longer Doug has time to put his foot in his mouth, the more votes OPC loses.
The longer people have to review #Green, #NDP or #OLP platforms and do research, the more votes OPC lose.
The longer people have time to think of, or are shown critical OPC failures and scandelous shenanigans, the more #votes OPC loses.
And winter disenfranches non-conservative urban voters.
The more people learn about #StrategicVoting the more votes OPC loses.
