Principle Guidelines/Bylaws

At the very heart of the Momentum Party policies we will find a set of principle guidelines: a standard of bylaws in compliance with which all actions, statements, and advancements must follow.

1. Independent of any major political party (Green, Democratic, Libertarian, Republican, etc.), the Momentum Party will stand by the facts, without bias or prejudice, without animosity, but with humility and strength of character and purpose.
   
   
2. The Momentum Party representatives, candidates, and nominees shall set a long-term goal to utilize all legal and ethical means to achieve short-term victories, overcome short-term losses, and strive for truth and respect in every decision and action to be made. By setting our short-term goals to achieve small victories, we build the momentum needed to succeed in our long-term goals.
   
   
3. No party member or representative shall accept donations from any person, representative of a business entity or corporation, or via undisclosed sources under any circumstances, except where provided as legal - with complete understanding that no donation of any type or size shall hold the Momentum Party or its members or its candidates under the sway of the personal philosophy or financial interests of said person or entity whom has made the donation.
   
   
4. Any attempt to alter the facts or intentional mis-interpretation of the facts in order to sway the individuals or body of the Momentum Party or United States Citizens by Momentum Party representatives shall be met with swift, explicit legal action and prosecution of those found to be causing said disturbances or manipulations.
   
   
   • In brief: Anyone who donates or pledges monies in support of the Momentum Party and its representatives does so without the ability to directly or indirectly influence where or how that money is used, or the manner in which any elected person or official of the Momentum Party chooses to vote on issues or bills.
     
     
   • No special interest groups or lobbyists will be tolerated or acknowledged. Concerned individual citizens will be provided a means of communicating with the Momentum Party representatives with equal voice.
     
     
   • Certainly, setting this general rule will diminish donations from large entities with generous pocketbooks and bankrolls, but it is the principle we, the Momentum Party must stand by.
     
     
5. All donations exceeding $200.01 will be posted publicly within the donations page, once the Momentum Party has begun to accept said donations.
   
   
   • Freedom of Information, open disclosure from where our donations have been received will ensure honesty, integrity, and eliminate corruption.
     
   • By posting publicly the names of our top supporters, we show the integrity and value of said individuals or companies, the better to increase their reputation for maintaining a moral and upstanding image.
     
     
   • The privacy of individual contributors will be respected by providing only the first name and the first initial of the last name of donors will be posted, including the city and state in which the individual is registered to vote.
