Gus for Congress

August “Gus” Jaccaci

Vermont Independent Candidate

For the US House 2010

Dear Friends and Vermont Political Colleagues,

Thank you mightily for your support and vision in helping the campaign – “Vermont is the state to reinvent the United States” – get rolling on the hay wagon of Vermonumental Idealism.

Congratulations to Peter Welch to Congress and Peter Shumlin to the Governor’s Office.  And we Visionary Vermonters near and far can hold our heads up with 4,429 votes for a bit over 2%; the usual number in percentages that make successful historic ventures like the American Revolution and the American Evolution succeed.

So, dear ones, fear not to ask for our future support for your creative ventures, especially you, Peter and Peter.

Cheers,

Gus Jaccaci

Independent Candidate for the US House of Representatives, Gus Jaccaci, urges Vermont media to advance the state’s perennial place in sociological surveys as first in the nation for civility and tolerance in public political process.

“It is the season again to air the different sides of our same social coin of personal progress opposite pursuit of the common good,” says Jaccaci.

“In this dance toward higher harmony, the media in all its forms have a rush of attention as elections draw near.  The media editing and dividing of this attention whether suffering from the moral cancer of exclusionary convenience or showing the healthy brave and principled fierce freedom of equal inclusion of all political candidates with equal space and equal time coverage is a spectacle worth watching.”

“As Tolstoy said, ‘Art is not a matter of talent, it is a matter of character.’  When our many media reach toward art beyond economics, character means courage, the courage to be totally equal and inclusive for all political candidates.  Politics, Aristotle said, is the highest art form humanity has ever created.

So when The Burlington Free Press puts pictures of all the candidates for Governor together on the top of its front page, all Vermont wins.  When Vermont Public Television and Channel 17 put all those same candidates and all other statewide candidates in turn together on television, Vermont wins again.

However, when Vermont Public Radio cannot find the creativity, character and courage to do likewise in at least one form of their programming, all Vermont loses, and our national civil leadership and freedom image takes an undeserved hit.”

To counter this loss, Jaccaci is organizing a Vermont Independents’ Alliance for mutual internet support of, for and by Independent political candidates.  He is also speaking to leaders at VPR about options toward a near future of total equality for all what are often called fringe candidates.

“Invention and maturation live on the fringe.  Creativity is the fringe,” says Jaccaci, Distinguished Leader of the Creative Problem Solving Institute and author of five books on creativity.
