Hi! I’m John M. Woodman, a small businessman and “computer guy” here in Springfield, Missouri. My wife Joan and I have been married for 32 years. We have six kids, five of whom are grown now.

And my goal is to help restore and renew the American Dream, in power, for all of us.

So let’s talk about that for just a moment.

If you have a typical family, bringing in anything less than $130,000 a year, the warping of our economy over the past 40 years is now costing you an estimated $24,000 (or more) every year.

That’s this year and every year from now on, for the rest of your life – until and unless we change this.

We All Know that America Has Real Problems.

And I have a rational, workable 3-step program to get us back on the right track.

Step One: Build a shared vision that’s based on the truth.

If we’re to have our best future, we have to bring back government that serves the best interest of the People — and also bring back a renewed, 21st century American Dream for a new generation.

And here’s a breakthrough revelation: We already have everything we need, right now, to do this. We the People only need to stop letting politicians and folks in the media divide and manipulate us, get together, and demand a better future. When enough of us do this, for long enough, we will get the change we need.

Step Two: Unrig our politics and bring back government that serves our best interest.

Congress hasn’t had a positive approval rating in close to 20 years. And frankly, they’ve earned our disapproval.

A few years back, a Professor at Princeton (Martin Gilens) had “a small army” of graduate students comb through 20 years’ worth of opinion polls on what the People wanted, and the record of what Congress actually did.

Guess what? They found there was really no relationship between the two.

Instead, Congress as a whole has been serving the best interest of special interests — at enormous cost to you and your family.

That’s why we need comprehensive, thorough,no-holds-barred anti-corruption reform. And that’s one of the major things I’ll push for — loudly — if elected to Congress.

When we bring back government that serves our interest, we’ll be well on our way to solving many other problems as well!

Step Three: Bring back an American Dream economy, in power, for all of us.

From the late 1930s until about 1980, we had an opportunity-rich American Dream economy — what I call “American Dream Capitalism.” Everyone was getting better off (including those who were already rich). Our middle class was really booming. And those who most needed opportunity were getting better off the fastest of all.

THAT was the American Dream.

So contrast that with today.

Today, our least-paid workers haven’t had a real pay raise in 40 years. Middle class Americans struggle to make real gains… in an economy that just gets better and better.

Why do I say that? I say it because we now produce twice as much real wealth PER PERSON as we did back in 1978 — and every year, our wealth production only gets stronger.

There’s a myth that we’re strapped for resources. It just isn’t true.

What IS true is that a big share of our booming new resources have been (and are being) redistributed to those at the very top.

That’s why America’s richest man today has FIFTY TIMES the vast mountains of wealth that the richest man had back in 1980.

I call this “Vampire Capitalism,” and it’s sucking the life blood out of 19 out of every 20 of us. (For the full, gory details, see the “How We Fix America” course that I’ve written — there’s a link under “About Me.”)

When we unrig our politics and bring back a renewed American Dream economy, we will recover what we are losing right now, and massively and positively transform our future.

So where do you and I come in?

Well, I want to provide you with the best representation possible — and take this transformative agenda to Washington, DC.

To do that, I need your help and your support.

Our next hurdle is the primary election on August 2nd. Please go to the polls, grab a Democratic ballot, and vote!
