People's Government
PGOV is the "Triple Law" campaign, to prohibit money for political campaigns; to monitor
to protect public office; to allow people to repeal any law. Candidates will campaign primarily for
a "triple law on government", will resign when the triple law is passed, and be
uncorrupted by avoiding and opposing private media for election publicity. Opposes corrupt and
fraudulent democracy. PGOV espouses direct democratic and anarchist or libertarian and antiwar
principles, but throws some odd statements into the immigration and religion topics!
