During election years, how many times have you heard friends and family say, "I'm voting for Candidate X because I can't stand the thought of Candidate Y being in office"? or "At least Candidate X isn't as bad as Candidate Y"? We at CAMP believe that the American people deserve an actual choice among candidates, among ideas and platforms, not the default choice between a lesser of evils.

Worse yet, there is a general apathy amongst citizens of voting age as evidenced by the low turnout at the polls on election days. Again, CAMP sees this as confirmation of a burgeoning crisis in our political system. When voters see no hope of having a true leader after an election, why vote at all?

There is a serious problem when we have difficulty in differentiating between candidates or when all choices on a ballot represent candidates which, given the choice, we would never put in office.

CAMP believes that a great part of the problem is the mediocre level of candidates on most ballots. When our political candidates lack intelligence, lack charisma, lack genuine concern for the well-being of the people of this country, how can we, in good faith, vote for them to lead us? There seems to be a lack of excellence in our political candidates that has led to disillusionment with our political system and the government that it supports.

CAMP would like to offer a SOLUTION to the problem.
