Politicians Are The Problem
We all want to have control over our lives and to have our governance reflect our beliefs.
Federal and State governments are run by politicians that pay more attention to their national political leaders, donors and the media than their constituents.
Today, both major parties believe that a 5% margin of victory is a Mandate to ignore what the other 47.5% of Americans believe and desire.

Local Control over policies, taxation and programs means that Citizens can reach those that they elect, make their wishes known and can make changes to governance as they, the Citizens,, not the politicians, decide.

Local Control over policies, taxation and programs means that Citizens can reach those that they elect, make their wishes known and can make changes to governance as they, the Citizens,, not the politicians, decide.
To achieve Local Control, Citizens must be the ones who define their communities, not the pre-existing political boundaries and political redistricting. (gerrymandering) meant to limit Citizen rights.
Citizens must demand that every decision that can be made locally must be made in their Citizen-defined communities, not in distant State and Federal capitols.
The Process
Politicians Are The Problem
The Process
True Home Rule is the Citizens, not politicians, deciding how they will be governed on all issues of substantial concern to them,
Citizens can control their governance by restructuring their representative boundaries, including City, County and ultimately State boundaries, to conform to their beliefs and desires.

Subdividing Counties by referendum to produce agreement among a supermajority of resident Citizens on beliefs, policies, taxation and programs will end our current political strife and restore governance Of, By and For the Citizens.
Creating The Model of True Home Rule
Washoe County
Washoe County is a textbook example of The Problem, a purple Nevada county of 1000 square miles of which 45 square miles are the liberal majoriity cities of Reno and Sparks. Reno and Sparks control the entire County by virtue of a majority of the population and ongoing gerrymandering to ensure single party rule.
Nevada
Like many States in the US, Nevada has become a Blue state despite the fact that 93% of the registered Democrats live in only 2 counties, Clark and Washoe. This means that 5% of the land area of Nevada controls the entire State, denying Independent and Republican citizens a voice in governance.
Blue Planet with White Rings in a Galaxy of Red
We know, based on precinct level registrations, that Washoe County has a supermajority (65+%) of Democrat-registered voters within a 10 square mile area of the 45 square mile area of the cities of Reno and Sparks. Surrounding this Blue core are White rings of balanced Republican/Democrat precincts and the remainder of Reno, Sparks and rural Washoe County is Republican. This is a very typical urbanized county configuration across the US.
Step 1: Share True Home Rule
Sign up to support True Home Rule for Washoe County. Drop us an email and say "I'm In! Tell all those that you know in your neighborhood, at your workplace and in your community organizations about True Home Rule and encourage them learn about it and to join the movement for Citizen Control.
Step 2: Become a Precinct Coordinator
Voting precincts are the most important component of the True Home Rule process, because they contain your residential neighborhood. Our objective is to understand Citizen desires on virtually every issue important to them, by neighborhood and precinct, and work to restructure voting precincts to maximize voter satisfaction with governance, through ensuring that most precincts are structured to have a 65+% majority of Red or Blue voters.
Voting precinct coordinators will collect contact information from their neighborhood residents, distribute questionnaires on voter preferences and be a focal point for their neighbors in communication. Precinct coordinators are the true grass roots force behind True Hone Rule.
Step 3: Precinct Restructuring
Based on the preferences expressed by Citizens at the neighborhood level, True Home Rule will work with the Registrar of Voters to come up with a plan to restructure voting precincts into supermajority Red (Conservative), Blue (Liberal) or White (No Supermajority), consolidating voters that agree on fundamental beliefs, norms and concerns into collections of Red, Blue and White preference.
Step 4: County Bifurcation
Once the voting precincts have been restructured, True Home Rule will pursue a Washoe County Referencedum, dividing the County into 2 counties, one supermajority Red and one Supermajority Blue, with the White precincts selecting which of the new counties that they wish to join.
Restoring Shared American Vision and Citizen Support
The Greatest Threat to American Democracy
In every form of oppressive government, there is a concentration of political and economic power in the hands of a small percentage of the populous, who abuse that power to ensure their continued control over their subjects. Communism and Fascism are virtually the same in this way. Many would argue that our American democracy is quickly succumbing to such a tyrannical concentration of power in the centers of industry, technology and state/national government.
True Home Rule puts in place the governance structure that will be required to reverse this dangerous concentration of power and the subservience of our Citizens to the few and powerful in distant seats of government and commerce. Different visions, beliefs, and needs in America must be preserved, nurtured and protected, if we are to remain intact as a free country. The Tyranny of the Majority of 55% over 45% is a recipe for dissolution or destruction of the United States, left uncorrected.
Citizen Participation Ensures Limited Concentration of Power
Decisions that are made in the communities where we live give us, as Citizens, the access to and ability to elect and speak directly to the decision-makers, to use the homogeneity of community beliefs and needs to maintain cherished ways of life and improve our economic and lifestyle outcomes. Cities, Suburbs and Ex-Urban areas have very different needs and beliefs, based on history, culture and economy. Reno/Sparks and Las Vegas are more closely comparable to Irvine and San Jose, California than the rest of Nevada.
There are only a few issues that transcend Local Control, including national defense, interstate commerce, communication and the federal judiciary . Virtually every issue that today divides Red and Blue in the US evaporates when we adopt Local Control. And with this return to Local Control, the political, media and economic power of Washington DC, the State Capitols and the corporate and media concentrations in New York, Los Angeles, the Bay Area and Chicago becomes far less influential. Local Control also means reducing the power of national digital, print and broadcast Media and the return of local journalism, dedicated to supporting local culture, not destroying it.
Stop Tweeting and Yelling at the COmputer/TV and Make Your Life Better
In Nevada, join the True Home Rule movement and help make Nevada the model for the Nation of how to make things work for everyone, Red, White or Blue, where they live. If you live in another County in Nevada or another State of our great nation, start your own True Home Rule movement. Yelling at other Citizens isn't going to get you what you want and you can't fight the distant political, media and economic powers on their turf. They only want to enslave and dominate you.
Win-Lose is Lose-Lose. True Home Rule is Win-Win, for all Americans.
