JOE
KOPSICK FOR CONGRESS CAMPAIGN 2020: E-MAIL UPDATE #1
June 8th, 2020
_________________________________________________________________________________
Dear 10th District voter,
Dear 10th District voter,
We are e-mailing you because you signed up to
receive e-mails about Joe Kopsick's campaign for U.S. Representative
from Illinois's 10th
District. Thank you for your support!
Please
e-mail jwkopsick@gmail.com
with the subject line “Unsubscribe” if you wish to be removed
from our e-mail list.
If
you signed the petition, then thank you for your signature! Your
signature will:
1. Help Joe Kopsick get on the ballot for
U.S. Representatives (IL-10) on November 3rd
and
2. Help establish a Mutualist Party in the State of Illinois
(as
long as 1,210 or more valid signatures are collected and turned in by
August 7th).
Your
signature is not
a binding obligation to support the candidate in any way.
To
make sure that your signature will be counted, please be sure to
register to vote by August 7th,
2020, the day that petition signatures are due to be turned in to the
state Board of Elections.
If you need to find out which
congressional district you live in, check the following links:
Enter
your address and see the number to the right of “Congressional
(Federal)”. If it says “10”, then you are eligible to vote and
sign for Joe Kopsick. This page will also tell you whether you have
registered to vote.
Even
if Joe Kopsick does not receive the necessary signatures to get his
name on the ballot, you will be able to write his name in the
write-in space on November 3rd.
If
you get to the ballot and Joe Kopsick's name does not appear beneath
Brad Schneider's, then a write-in vote for Joe Kopsick will
still be counted!
Your signature just helps get him on the ballot by
name, which
will save the voter the trouble of having to remember how to spell
K-O-P-S-I-C-K.

ABOUT THE CANDIDATE:
ABOUT THE CANDIDATE:
Joe
Kopsick was born on February 24th,
1987 at Lake Forest Hospital in Lake Forest, Illinois. The son of an
attorney, and a homemaker and a disabilities teaching assistant,
Kopsick attended District 65 and 67 schools, and majored in political
science at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, graduating in
2009.
In
2010, Kopsick founded the Aquarian Agrarian, a blog on Blogspot.com.
Since then, Mr. Kopsick has run for Congress four times, and he has
published more than five hundred articles on various topics (such as
federal law, the Constitution, electoral politics, labor economics,
and political theory).
Kopsick's writing can be found at http://aquarianagrarian.blogspot.com/.
Kopsick currently works as a private security guard. He is faced every day with the absurdity that private security guards are trained to protect the public, while the supposedly public police have no obligation to protect and serve the general public, only to protect those with whom they have made private contracts.
The law needs to make sense again.
See Joe Kopsick's article and infographic about how government can legalize resistance of unlawful arrest and police brutality: http://aquarianagrarian.blogspot.com/2020/06/resisting-unlawful-arrest-by-police-in.html

ABOUT THE PLATFORM:
ABOUT THE PLATFORM:
Kopsick's top 3 issues
are:
1. Pay Off the U.S. National Debt by 2047 (P.O.U.N.D.) by paying off $1 trillion per year
2. Eliminate Medical Patents by Advancing Technologies for Human Immortality Cheaply (E.M.P.A.T.H.I.C.), a plan to reduce the costs of medicine,
and
3. the Safe Kids Act (S.K.A.), a plan to reform public education and child trafficking laws in an integrated fashion.

JOE KOPSICK'S FIVE PROMISES TO 10TH DISTRICT VOTERS AND DONORS:
1. I will never accept money from a corporation (unless it operates on a non-profit or cooperative basis, and is reputable and trustworthy);
2.
I will never accept taxpayer money (that
is, if the Mutualist Party's support surpasses 5% in Illinois and it
becomes eligible for federal public matching funds, I will strongly
discourage the Mutualist Party from accepting taxpayer funds, and I
will refuse taxpayer funds as a candidate);
3.
My campaign will
never make unsolicited requests for your donations;
4.
My campaign will never sell your information;
5.
The candidate, campaign volunteers, and the Illinois State Board of
Elections, are the only people who will ever be given your name and
address.

THREE EASY WAYS YOU CAN HELP US FOR FREE
THREE EASY WAYS YOU CAN HELP US FOR FREE
We do not need your money; we care more about you being informed and empowered.
The Joe Kopsick for Congress campaign wants to prove that it is possible to run a successful campaign for less than three dollars' postage.
That
is how you get money out of politics; by setting a good example.
This is why Mr. Kopsick's
campaign is (thus far) entirely self-funded.
We want your help, and we will accept your donations, but we don't need your money.
Here
are three ways you can help us, for
free:
1. Email your friends about Joe Kopsick!
Whether
you'd like to be considered an official Joe Kopsick for Congress
volunteer or not, remember that sending an e-mail is free, and that
information is the most important tool we have.
Please
e-mail
this campaign update, and the links in it, to anyone you know who may
be likely to vote on November 3rd.
2.
Invite the candidate and his volunteers to gatherings such as:
-
political protests,
marches,
rallies, etc.
-
small parties
in private homes
-
neighborhood cookouts
to help the campaign meet
registered voters who can sign the petition to get Joe Kopsick onto
the ballot.
3.
Call newspapers, or independent journalists and bloggers you know,
and ask them to interview Joe Kopsick, cover his campaign, and/or
include him in polls.
These are the best ways to
spread the word about independent candidates, without having to
devote too much attention to fundraising.
Joe Kopsick believes that a
“donation” from anyone other than an ordinary voter (or a
trustworthy non-profit non-state organization) should be considered a
bribe.
By making fundraising an
extremely low priority in campaigning, Mr. Kopsick hopes to decrease
the risk that candidates will fall capture to the legislative
interests of wealthy donors, lobbyists, and the politicians who are
committing insider trading through passing legislation that rigs the
economy for the benefit of the super-rich.
_________________________________________________________________________________
We want you to help our campaign, but we will also send you information about Mr. Kopsick's opponents so that you are fully informed of your choices.
We will also tell you how you can run for office yourself!
Send us an e-mail with the subject line "Run for Office", and tell us your age, town, and which issue(s) you feel you are most knowledgeable about.
We will suggest some offices for which you might be interested in running, and direct you to the appropriate page on the Illinois State Board of Elections website.
You can see that information by visiting http://www.elections.il.gov/ and clicking on "Running for Office".
_________________________________________________________________________________
FIX THE LAW, STOP DANCING AROUND THE ISSUES
FIX THE LAW, STOP DANCING AROUND THE ISSUES
For too long, politicians have
gotten away with giving half-answers to important questions, dancing
around problems, and confusing and distracting the people into
thinking they've answered their questions.
It
is time that we elect a candidate who will dive head-first into the
issues that the public cares about, and figure out exactly what is
wrong with the law, instead of wasting time arguing over how to market the legislation to the people.
As an independent blogger and researcher, and a four-time congressional candidate, Kopsick has drafted a congressional platform three times before. He knows all too well what is wrong with our federal laws and how to fix them.
As an independent blogger and researcher, and a four-time congressional candidate, Kopsick has drafted a congressional platform three times before. He knows all too well what is wrong with our federal laws and how to fix them.
Our campaign would love to know which issues are most important to you, and what your legislative priorities are. Mr. Kopsick might not agree with you on all the issues, but he is always open to compromise.
Please
e-mail jwkopsick@gmail.com!
Let us know your top 3, top 5, or top 10 most important issues, and
Mr. Kopsick will let you know where he stands on those issues, and
direct you to relevant articles and planks in his platform.
If you would like to reach Mr.
Kopsick directly, he is available by phone at 608-417-9395. He is a
private security guard and does not mind being called, or even woken
up, at odd hours, so feel free to call him at any time of the day!
Thank
you so much for your support!
