HELP US ACHIEVE WRITE-IN ACCESS. 


Many states require us to list "presidential electors" in order to achieve write-in access. The amount of electors is equal to the number of electoral votes each state has. If you would like to sign up to be an elector please please please contact us. The duty of an elector is essentially none. The purpose is that if we win a state, we send our designated electors to vote for us in the electoral college. However, we find in extremely unlikely that that will happen. So please please volunteer to be an elector. Depending on the state, all we have to do is write your name down, or, at most, go to a notary. 

We will be pursuing ballot access in the following states:

ALABAMA: Automatic write-in access. No filing required.
ARIZONA: 11 electors are required. These electors must fill out a form with their name and address. Please contact us if you are a registered voter in Arizona and would like to be an elector.
CALIFORNIA: 55 electors are required. These electors must fill out a form with their name and address. This form must be notarized. Please contact us if you are a registered voter in California and would like to be an elector.
CONNECTICUT: 7 electors are required. These electors must fill out a joint form with each of their names and addresses. Please contact us if you are a registered voter in Connecticut and would like to be an elector.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA: Automatic write-in access prior to election. No filing or electors required unless you win. However, if you would like to be a District of Columbia elector please contact us.
GUAM: Guam holds a presidential preference poll on election day. Guam does not allow write-ins, however, we will be pursuing physically being on the ballot. We have heard that all that's required is a letter.
ILLINOIS: Must file a declaration of candidacy for each of the 102 counties, with all 8 members of the Board of Elections, and the City of Chicago. We do not plan on submitting for all counties so if you live in Illinois and plan to vote for us please contact us to ensure we file in your county so that your vote is counted. As of now, we plan on filing in the following jurisdictions: Cook County, City of Chicago, Champaign County, Madison County, St. Clair County, Winnebago County, McHenry County, Kane County, Will County, Lake County, and DuPage County. No electors are required. Additionally, Illinois law states they will not count any ballot petitions for the number of signatures unless challenged by an Illinois voter. Therefore, We would like to pursue ballot access in Illinois using a petition of only a few people. If we achieve full ballot access in the state, we would require 20 electors. If you would like to be an elector for Illinois please contact us. 
IOWA: Automatic write-in access. No filing required.
KANSAS: Must file a declaration of candidacy along with $20. No electors are required.
MASSACHUSETTS: 7 electors are required. Please contact us if you are a registered voter in Massachusetts and would like to be an elector.
MINNESOTA: Between 1 and 10 electors are required. All that is required is that we list them on our declaration. We have already acquired 1 of our maximum 10 electors. Please contact us if you are a registered voter in Minnesota and would like to be an elector.
MISSOURI: 10 electors are required, one from each of the 8 congressional districts, and 2 at-large.  Please contact us if you are a registered voter in Missouri and would like to be an elector.

We   SUPPORT REFORM, PROGRESSIVE, AND LEFTIST CAUSES.

The Jobe/Diesner ticket supports a number of reform, progressive, and leftist causes as a platform for our campaign.
 



We believe that universal health care is a human right, and that it is tyrannical that people in this country are being forced to live without healthcare due to the nature of capitalism. 

We support universal, free tuition to all public colleges and universities. Many lower income individuals are not given the ability to attend universities due to their lack of income and their increasingly high costs. 

We support the decriminalization of all drugs and the complete legalization of marijuana. People should not go to prison for victimless crimes. Additionally, people previously convicted of possession-related crimes should be immediately be pardoned.

We support a complete ban on for-profit prisons. For-profit prisons are modern day slavery. For-profit prisons create an artificial need for prisoners.

​We support a ban on routine infant circumcision regardless of the assigned sex of the child. 

We support legislation to end the wage gap between men and women, and whites and people of color.

We support state funded transitions for transgender and non-binary folx, without the current amount of hoops they must jump through.

We support the addition of at least a third gender option on all federal documents and identification cards or the elimination of gender markers on said documents.

We support open immigration.

If we are forced to live under a capitalist society, income inequality must be ended. We support much higher taxes on higher income "earners".

We support updated comprehensive sex education classes nationwide which would include information about consent.

We support ending the statute of limitations for all sex crimes

We support the notion that clean water is a human right and support legislation that would bring clean water back to Flint.

We support non-interventionist foreign policy and the end of American  imperialism.

We support easier ballot access for third-party candidates and automatic voter registration as soon as an individual becomes eligible to be a voter.

We support a voting rights act for the District of Columbia and all U.S. territories

We support marriage privatization. It is not the government's job to regulate marriage. 

We believe in man-made climate change and that we must take steps to save our planet, such as investing in renewable energy and banning fossil fuels.

We support ranked-choice voting, also known as instant runoff voting. We dismiss the notion of wasted votes, and by removing America's first-past-the-post system we can dispel the spoiler effect.


We support the creation of federal non-discrimination protections in the work place to protect LGBTQIA+ and disabled individuals. The current protections do not go far enough.

We believe in disarming the police, closing overseas military bases, and withdrawing all troops for overseas, and drastically reducing our military budget. Our imperialist police state must end.

Coercion is not consent, it is rape. We believe the definition of rape should be expanded to protect individuals who are coerced into "consenting" to sexual acts.

This is not every issue we have taken a stance on, and if you have a question about our stance on a specific issue please contact us.
