In politics, “vetting” is the process of evaluating and comparing candidates for public office, based on cer-tain criteria. In modern times, it is customarily done by groups, based on their particular interests, needs, or purposes. Here, the idea is to influence ordinary voters to choose the candidates who best represent the group’s particular criteria, needs,… Continue reading What is Vetting?

Vetting candidates deserves the highest priority for attention of all patriot groups, because this is the best, most practical means for bringing real change in government. Vetting effects voting in elections that de-termine who will control the pertinent instrumentalities of government. This type of political action is, therefore, far more important than protesting and signing… Continue reading Why should our busy group take time for vetting at all?

Primary election vetting is rarely done by the individual voters themselves as ideally intended. Instead, they rely on guidance from special interests groups that conduct pre-primary vetting, which usually supports incumbent candidates and their allies. If patriot groups don’t conduct vetting before the primaries, other pre-primary vetting will control the final primary election outcome. In… Continue reading Since primary elections already provide vetting, why not just wait for the general election un-til there are only two candidates involved?

While a “no vetting” or “no endorsement” pledge is a fine idea in theory, it only works if everyone agrees. Unfortunately, given human nature, this type of uniform agreement is unlikely. In the end, therefore, at least some special interest groups will conduct pre-primary vetting regardless of any “no endorsement” pledge among the others. Since… Continue reading Rather than conduct vetting, why not just have everyone sign a ‘no endorsement’ pledge be-fore the primaries?

Vetting against an unacceptable candidate to all may be emotionally appealing and unify the groups in a negative way; however, it still doesn’t change the fact that someone will be elected anyway. If another can-didate emerges who is just as unacceptable as the first, there is no change to the underlying conduct of the new… Continue reading Why not just vet by opposing the candidate objectionable to all?

Trust in personalities should not be a significant obstacle to affiliating for PVC support, since all services are free and participation is entirely voluntary. In any case, there should be no doubt about the key PVC organizer and founding member, mobilt bredband jämför Lee Havis, who has substantial background and many years of experience in… Continue reading How can we trust the PVC will not impose the self-centered interests of its organizers?

The PVC plan for vetting has built-in checks and balances to overcome differences over issues and person-alities that otherwise commonly occur in the process. For example, the PVC offers such means as specific time limits, secure communication, and open disclosure. In this way, the PVC approach builds unity around basic principles and procedures, rather than… Continue reading How can the PVC help us overcome strong differences in vetting that arise over specific issues and candidates?

Non-PVC vetting has various weaknesses and limitations which don’t exist in the PVC approach. For ex-ample, some non-PVC vetting requires candidates to answer long, complex, rigid, or vaguely worded writ-ten questionnaires that simply complicate and mislead those who must use them for vetting. In this situa-tion, the most serious, reasonable candidates will not participate, due… Continue reading Why is the PVC approach any better than other vetting means available?

Since vetting is a highly specialized field, patriot groups that attempt to conduct this activity on their own tend to make many mistakes due to lack of experience and knowledge. For example, poor initial planning and execution leads to fragmented, incomplete results; and, perhaps even serious divisions over specific issues and personalities. PVC support helps… Continue reading Our group is already vetting candidates, so why do we need the outside help of PVC support now?

Organizing a single coalition of diverse patriot groups can be time-consuming and contentious. Since most of these groups are newly formed, they lack the internal cohesion and experience to easily formalize an ef-fective coalition in a timely manner with others. Forming an organization or coalition too soon will, there-fore, likely deviate from the common unifying… Continue reading Shouldn’t we organize a single coalition of groups first, before we come for PVC support?
