Remember that 1964 toy?

The Robot Fight Is Over.

Two plastic robots in a yellow boxing ring. Red vs. Blue. Thumbs mashing the buttons, click-click-click, until somebody knocks the other guy’s block off and his head pops up on a spring. That’s Washington.

Two retro plastic toy boxing robots in a yellow ring: the blue robot lands a punch and the red robot's head pops up on its spring. — **Washington Today** Red vs. Blue, round after round.

The same toy ring: the red robot on the left and the blue robot on the right clasp hands with a new white robot with an American flag painted on its chest in the middle, all three lifting their joined hands high in victory. — **America, RISE UP tomorrow.** Same ring. Same flag. Finally on the same side.

For years the career crowd in Congress, Republicans and Democrats alike, has played that game with our country. Somebody wins, somebody loses, and they cash a big full-time paycheck either way. Washington was never supposed to be a lifetime job. The game's rigged. We're flipping the board.

People build this country. People keep it running. Robots can’t dream — that takes us. We’re the ones who live, fight and die for it.

No more Red vs. Blue boxing matches.
Washington was never meant to be a career. Two terms, then we hand back the keys. And until that day, we work for you, the people. Not the donors. Not the party bosses. You.
Picture it. RISE in the House. RISE in the Senate. RISE in the Oval Office. Not a career crowd, just neighbors on a short lease, doing the job and coming home. Get used to the name. Rise Up Unity Party.

The USA has three colors. Not just red. Not just blue.
We will RISE up for the Red WHITE & Blue.

Why RISE

Stopped voting? Honestly, fair.

You didn't quit on America. You quit on the same two choices, the same fights and the same speeches with a new date on them.

Not the sheep. Not the sheepdogs. We're the shepherds who lead the farm.

RISE is for the folks who are done picking a team. Used to vote Democrat? Republican? Never voted at all? Pull up a chair. There's coffee.

Picture this

The Road Trip

Picture America as a road trip. The donkey grabbed the wheel and won’t hand it over, even while it’s driving in circles. The elephant sits in the passenger seat, sighs, and says “Well, okay.” Every few years they swap seats, and somehow we still never get anywhere.

And the people in the back seat? They’re paying for the gas.

RISE says pull over. It’s our car.
