Introduction: Why This Guide Exists — And Why You
You are not just running for Congress. You are running to restore government to the people who built this country — the 170 million American workers who have been sold out by both parties for decades. This Candidate Survival Guide is your battle-tested roadmap, designed specifically for candidates who align with the vision in my book UNINCORPORĀTUS: A 99-Cent Solution to the 1% Problem and the Clean Slate 2028 / People Primaries movement.
This guide maps with tremendous detail every step of running a congressional campaign — from the quiet pre-launch work to Election Night — with a relentless focus on structure, realistic costs, and small-dollar (99-cent revolution) fundraising. It is written for the candidate who refuses corporate PAC money, who signs the binding WORK FOR US Pledge (or Clean Slate / American Worker Pledge), and who will fight for the C.L.A.W.S. Act and the Real People Amendment (28th and 29th Amendments) once elected.
It directly complements the People Primaries Field Manual (Appendix C of UNINCORPORĀTUS). While the Field Manual equips District Teams and organizers to build the infrastructure, vet candidates, and run transparent People Primaries, this Survival Guide equips you — the candidate — to win. Together, they form the complete operating system for taking back Congress district by district.
The core truth from the book: The “Money Primary” has already selected most incumbents. We are hijacking the real primaries with community-chosen, pledge-bound candidates funded by workers — not K Street, not the Chamber of Commerce, not foreign corporations. Small-dollar, recurring 99-cent contributions from everyday Americans are not just viable; they are the only sustainable, incorruptible path to victory and to the constitutional restoration we need.
This is not theory. This is survival — for you, your family, your campaign, and our republic.
