For those who are not members, here are the questions that members are required to give a yes/no answer to.

If you answer "no" to any of the questions below, you are ineligible to join a Candidate Selection Session, but you may still participate as a GOOOH member/supporter and post in the forums, etc.

(1) Are you a U.S. Citizen? Yes No
(2) *Did you graduate from high school (GED is acceptable)? Yes No
(3) Are you at least 18 years of age? Those younger than 25 are welcome to participate in the process, but may not advance to the final two rounds. The law requires you to be 25 years of age to become a U.S. Representative. We want you to participate in the selection of your district's GOOOH nominee, but need to ensure you are aware you cannot be selected. Yes No
(4) Can you confirm that you have never been convicted of a felony? Yes No
(5) Are you registered to vote in the district in which you are applying? You must be prepared to show a valid driver's license or voter registration card at each selection session (this is a GOOOH requirement, not a Constitutional one). Yes No
(6) *Can you confirm that by election day, you will have been an inhabitant of the state and the district that you are seeking to represent for at least one year (note: the initial requirement was 3 years in state)? This is a GOOOH requirement, not a Constitutional one. Yes No
(7) Will you commit to telling the truth 100 percent accurately at all times, and will you voluntarily remove yourself from office if you ever violate this promise? Yes No
(8) Do you accept that GOOOH candidates are not required to discuss anything they did before the age of 25 (though you are of course free to speak of your accomplishments)? Yes No
(9) Can you confirm you have never had a direct family member (father, mother, son, daughter, brother or sister) who has held a seat in Congress (House or Senate), who was president, or was a governor? Yes No
(10) **Will you commit to publicly announcing to all participants, at the start of each Candidate Selection Session in which you participate, if you or your immediate family members (spouse and children) have now or have ever had assets valued at more than 250 times the median income ($11.5 million)? Yes No
(11) **Will you commit to publicly announcing to all participants, at the start of each Candidate Selection Session in which you participate, if you are, or have ever been, a lawyer? Yes No
(12) *Can you confirm that you have never been a member of, or made a donation of any amount, to the KKK or NAMBLA, and that you have never been a member of or made a donation of more than $100 to the ACLU (after the age of 25)? Note: We're allowing the $100 ACLU donation to accomodate those who have made a small, one-time donation, without full knowledge of the organization's agenda. Yes No
(13) Will you promise to support our nation as a republic, not a socialistic, communistic or fascist society? Yes No
(14) *Will you promise not to advertise or campaign publicly for this position, nor have others campaign for you, until you reach the last round of 10 in your district? (Until GOOOH reaches critical mass in membership and we are certain we can make a run in 2010, this question will be waived. This will allow those who are attempting to run this year via the existing process to also participate in GOOOH. If you are in this position, you must let us know by June 1st. Send a note to goooh@goooh.com.) Yes No
(15) Will you promise not to discuss other candidates personally or speak of them publicly, and to compete for this position in a professional manner? Yes No
(16) *If selected by your peers via the GOOOH process, will you promise not to collect or use personal assets totaling more than $20,000 (with no more than $500 from any one donor) to campaign, excluding funds provided by the GOOOH general campaign fund? Yes No
(17) Will you promise not to accept money or gifts valued at more than $500 from any person or company while participating in the selection process? Yes No
(18) Will you promise not to manipulate the selection system in any way, including intentionally voting against candidates to improve your odds of being selected? Yes No
(19) Will you commit to publicly supporting the GOOOH system, though you are (of course) not required to support the candidate who emerges? Yes No
(20) Do you understand that all of your answers must be truthful, and agree to remove yourself from the process and make a donation to GOOOH of $1,000 within 24 hours if you knowingly provide a false response to any of these qualifying questions? Yes No
(21) *If it comes to a vote, do you commit to vote for an amendment to the Constitution that calls for term limits for the U.S. House of Representatives of two terms or less?

Since question 21 is really a part of the candidate questionaire, I don't think it should be included as a prerequisite to being a candidate.

The item that excludes persons who were ever members of ACLU or who ever donated to the organization seems to be over the top to me. While the ACLU has certainly shown its true colors in recent years, 30 to 35 years ago when I was in graduate school I was a member and volunteer expert witness for ACLU to help a poor mother keep her baby from the clutches of an unreasonable county system. We were fighting AGAINST GOVERNMENT INTRUSION. I was over the age of 25, barely. Later the ACLU became too radical for me and I quit.

I think our process would be better served without that exclusion. Many intelligent peóple were fooled about the ACLU not that long ago. After all, who wouldn't want to preserve American Civil Liberties?

If my well-intentioned membership in the ACLU almost 30 years ago excludes me from being a GOOOH candidate now then I'll have to reconsider my membership in GOOOH.

THANK YOU to the committee who modified the item so that I now pass. I'm still not so sure we wouldn't be better off without the reference to the ACLU, since the candidate selection process will screen out anyone with radical left ideas. But thank you for progress.

Hi! I have a conflict with question #6.... being an inhabitant of the state/district for at least one year.

I am very interested in the selection process and feel "called" to this opportunity to run on the GOOOH platform but unfortunately, by Nov 2, 2010, I will only have been an "inhabitant" for 11 months.

Is this an absolute necessity? I see that it was changed from 3 years to 1 year but, for something that's so close, I'd like to hear the rationale or debate the issue, etc.

Thank You in advance for this opportunity!

Question #21 needs to be modified or deleted, I see that I am not the only one who fails to qualify as a GOOOH candidate because of that question. Two terms period? Puerile.

Wow you had people in Texas that did not support your BAN on anti-term limits. Hear that will get you shot down there. Good to see your still alive.

The $20K limit is for PERSONAL funds (i.e. they do not come from the communal pool of GOOOH campaign funds that is divided among all 435 Candidates for the sake of local campaigning). Since these funds come out of your own pocket - and who knows who put that money IN your pocket - GOOOH limits how much of your own resources you can use to campaign with.

One of the core reasons that GOOOH exists is to sever the influence of "special interest" money to Candidates. The $20K cap is intended to give each Candidate the ability to raise a small "above and beyond" warchest of funds on top of the funds that GOOOH will give to campaign with without it becoming an influencer in that Candidate's decision making process while in Congress.

My concern is over question (20) Do you understand that all of your answers must be truthful, and agree to remove yourself from the process and make a donation to GOOOH of $1,000 within 24 hours if you knowingly provide a false response to any of these qualifying questions? Yes No

Having answered every other question yes, I should be fine answering question 20 yes, as I will never be called upon to pay 1000 dollars, having been honest. HOWEVER, I cannot 100% comfortably agree to paying what amounts to right at 4% of my families income last year, even knowing I have been honest and won't have to pay it, especially on a basis which would be absolutely impossible (24 hour notice). I feel this question may discourage other low income participants such as myself from joining GOOOH, and to a certain degree maintain the status quo of the more financially elite running things rather than the average citizen. I should add that I am a married college student, mother of two, and that my husband was laid off for over half of last year. I work as a waitress (not many jobs work around college schedules or are as flexible to work around my husbands schedule too) and my husband took the only job he could find in this economy, as a stocker at a local discount store.

So, how does GOOOH think I should answer? Does my honesty count towards my yes, or my lack of financial means to meat such a commitment count as a no?
