WHY SHOULD YOU SUBSCRIBE?
Democratic Governments are fair and just to all their subjects. Right? Wrong!!
They look after themselves first and foremost, followed by their controlling political party and its financial backers. Nothing astounding about that. Most of the population behaves in a similar way.
Subscribing to FairGO, which has operated for 21 years, will give you every chance to make your Government fair and just.
The Democratic Tug-o-war going round in circles
Imagine a thick rope tied to make a circle a metre above the ground. Inside the rope is the government. It must stay within the confines of the rope and go wherever the rope is pulled. There are several groups of slick-looking people standing on soap boxes near where the rope is knotted.
They are smiling at TV cameras as they address adoring crowds. They are
also pulling on the rope. These are the politicians and various political parties. Another group of people, dressed in suits is holding one section of the rope. They represent big business with big money to pay political parties. Another group in red holds another section or rope. They represent powerful trade unions able to call strikes and make substantial political donations. Both of these
last two groups flex their muscles, because they can affect jobs. Further, around the rope are people dressed in green, pulling with all their might. They are the environmentalists with runs on the board for protecting the planet. There is a group with broad brimmed hats and high heeled riding boots - the farmers, but their grip is not as strong as they would like it. Someone has put grease on the rope where they are. There is a group of people singing at the top of their voices, but they don't all seem to be singing the same song. They are the churches and other religious groups. There is a group of fairly well dressed people loading trucks with one hand and holding the rope with the other. They are the NGO's who depend on government funding to do their vital work for suffering humanity.
Ordinary citizens
Scattered around the circle, holding onto the rope at various places between these major players are a whole lot of individuals or small groups. These are the ordinary citizens or community groups who have become politically active.
FairGO voters
Some of these have broken away from the rope. They have moved up to form a semi-circle around the politicians and political parties. They have joined hands to form a horseshoe with people at each end holding the rope. They are pulling together on the politicians, combining with them. These people are holding up a "FairGO" flag, even though they have their own banners as well. They are supporting one another as well as their own particular causes and have thus increased their pulling power. While they hold the rope they are also studying what others are doing and deciding how to work in with the politicians and other small groups to leverage their pulling power. These are the FairGO voters, people and groups who are learning the techniques and strategies necessary to pull the rope of democracy their way. They know that when they can get the politicians pulling with them, it is far easier to move the rope and thus the government, in the direction they want it to go. They don't have to get all the politicians on side, just enough to carry the others with them.
Everybody is pulling the rope their own way, so sometimes the rope moves north and sometimes south. Sometimes it rushes east and sometimes it goes west. According to how the people tugging at it pull together or against each other, it moves backwards and forwards, around and around.
Outside all this activity, in all directions, stretches a great crowd of people as far as the eye can see. Some are drinking or eating, some are working and some are playing. Many are jumping up and down about things, waving their arms around and berating their families, friends and neighbours about dysfunctional governments. Some give a little tug on the rope at times but quickly lose interest. Others are yelling at the government that it must come their way because to do otherwise is undemocratic, un-Australian, un-American or un-something else.
Add your weight to the rope with FairGO
If you want to have an influence on what the government does, how it treats your family or your neighbourhood or how it represents you, the voter, then you should join those under the FairGO banner and increase your influence, your pulling power. FairGO is there to help you. It does not judge your cause. It is not an umbrella group that wants to speak for you. It can put you in touch with others who might support your cause too. It can help you develop the skills to carry more political weight. It can deliver your message in a most effective way.
Cost benefits are beautiful!
Compared to the benefits for you, your family, your friends, your community, organisation or business, the costs of subscribing to FairGO and using its services at subscriber rates, is
small. What is that compared to getting your child properly educated, your grandchild into hospital for an urgent operation, your parents the quality of life they deserve? What is that compared to saving your brother or sister being killed on the roads, streets or in hospital? What is that compared to being proud of what your country or state does, instead of being ashamed of it? What is that compared to giving the most disadvantaged people, perhaps children and teens, a true chance to live life to the full? What is that compared to seeing that your taxes and public assets are used for you instead of being given away to friends of the government.
