Power to the People

Special Status: Switzerland Protocol

This initiative operates OUTSIDE Liana Banyan’s gates.

Per the Switzerland Protocol, Liana Banyan maintains “No Politics, No Religion” inside the platform. Power to the People is the one initiative that engages in political activity — and therefore operates externally at “Political Expedition.”

• ❌ NOT funded by the 20% platform margin
• ❌ NOT endorsed by Liana Banyan Corporation
• ❌ NOT covered by Liana Banyan’s bylaws
• ✅ Members can participate voluntarily
• ✅ Your Reputation carries from inside
• ✅ Governed by Shirley Temple Protocol

“Of the People. By the People. For the People.”

THE PROBLEM

The system is designed for those who can pay. Power to the People changes that.

Pool small contributions. Fund professional advocacy. Track every vote. Report back to members.

    Next election, voters know the record

We can’t outspend them. We can out-organize them.

Compare: Pharma spends $300M/year. We do it for 0.01% of that.

An electric plug.

Why?

• Power flows through connection
• Regular people plugging INTO the system
• Energy from the collective
• “Plug in and power up”

The plug represents access — the thing regular people don’t have, and lobbyists do.

Power to the People tracks issues, not parties.

The goal is accountability, not partisanship.

Members decide priorities. We track results. Voters decide what to do with that information.

Imagine a world where:

• A working mom in Ohio has the same voice as a pharmaceutical CEO
• Every vote is tracked and reported in plain language
• Representatives know their constituents are watching
• “The people’s lobbyist” is a real thing
• Democracy works the way it’s supposed to

That’s Power to the People.

$5/year membership includes:

• Vote on advocacy priorities
• Receive vote tracking reports
• Access to representative report cards
• Participation in coordinated campaigns

Additional contributions fund specific proposals and campaigns.

Power to the People works alongside:

All initiatives benefit from a more responsive government.
