Forcing Congress to Fight Big Tech Control of AI
5 Mar 2025

1.  Laws (legislation) about an issue are made in Congress (the Senate and the House) by subcommittees specific to the issue.
2.  Only a small select group of congresspeople (senators or representatives) are on each subcommittee.
3.  You, as an individual voter, are only allowed to contact your own 3 congresspeople (2 senators, 1 representative), at best.
4.  Therefore, you as an individual voter have no representation in Congress about most issues.
5.  The only way to be represented in Congress about a specific issue is to help financially support an expert on the issue who can contact congresspeople on the appropriate subcommittees and have him make it known to them what you think.

Forcing the Judiciary to Fight Big Tech Control of AI
5 Mar 2025

Most people think that the only way to influence the judicial branch of the federal government about an issue is to protest appointments of judges who might have a differing opinion on the issue. These appointments are made by the President and confirmed by the Senate (via committee), both of which an individual voter like you has essentially zero influence over. Even if an individual voter had influence over judicial appointments, he/she couldn't be sure how their chosen judge would actually rule on the issue. The only way to influence the judiciary about an issue is to help financially support an expert on the issue who can file amicus curiae (friend of the court) briefs in precedent-setting cases about the issue.

Forcing the Executive to Fight Big Tech Control of AI
5 Mar 2025

The executive branch of the federal government, executing the laws made by Congress, is not just the President of the United States. It also includes all the many departments, whose leaders have considerable power in how (and whether) the laws are executed. Knowing which departments cover a specific issue is difficult and the leaders of these departments have purposely made it difficult for an individual voter like you to contact them (by hiding their email addresses for example) to influence them about a specific issue. The only way to influence them about an issue is to help financially support an expert on the issue who knows which department covers the specific issue and can contact its leaders to let them know what you think. Thus, Fight Big Tech Control of AI led by Dr. Duane Thresher.
