VOID's Mission
The mission of Vote Out Incumbents Democracy (VOID) is to inform and organize American voters, who are dissatisfied with the results of their government, to unseat those overseeing that government.
The objective is to drive incumbent's reelection rate down from more than 90% on average, to something closer to a coin's toss chance of 50%.
The goal is to force politicians to earn the anti-incumbent voter's vote through responsible action in government reflecting the best interests of the American people and the nation's future.

Power in Small Numbers
Third parties and independent candidates for federal office, as well as half of the eligible voters in this country, utterly fail to recognize the power they hold in the palms of their hands. The power of just a small number of them to radically alter American politics as well as substantially, and significantly, reform American government is right there in front of them. Yet, so far, they have refused to see it and seize it for their own. Some who do see it, recoil from it. Is power in politics such a frightening thing? Perhaps, but not for long.

Why the VOID movement will work
Nothing new in the concept of throwing irresponsible incumbents out of office. Failed before, why would VOID's attempt work today? Below are the mechanics of how and why VOID can reshape American politics.
First, there is already an anti-incumbent mood among eligible voters, and this accounts for why a huge number of the 55% of eligible voters who DO NOT VOTE, don't in non-presidential year elections. Voter participation has been dropping for decades with a few blip exceptions. At least half of the American public has lost faith in voting for Democrats and Republicans, incumbents or challengers, because things in government just don't get better. In fact, in many ways, our government just continues to worsen. 9/11 never should have happened. Our educational system never should have dropped from being the best in the world. Our poverty rate never should have increased since the 1970's, but, it has. And our national debt should never have reached 8 Trillion dollars threatening the taxed wages of our children's work lives.
