I’m Nick Thomas, and I'm running for Congress in Colorado's 2nd District. Instead of running through either party, I am pledging to represent voters locally as an independent using an online voting tool. AMA! Posted: 13 Sep 2018 11:56 AM PDT It is no secret the United States has become dangerously divided. I'm running as an independent because I believe it's past time to put country over the two-party system. Instead of representing a national party, I am pledging to represent my District at a local level to bring my neighbors closer together. It's a challenge, however. There are 800,000 people living in Colorado's 2nd Congressional District and it's huge, urban, AND rural, stretching from Fort Collins to Vail to Evergreen, including Boulder. How could I better represent all these people? Earlier this year, I met Alex Ebert, the lead singer of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. By night, Alex is the leader of a campaign to increase democracy using technology, and he had the key I was seeking: an online voting tool called Proxy.Vote. Consequently, I have pledged to better represent my constituents in Colorado by inviting them to use Proxy.Vote to tell me how they want me to vote on any issue. There is a better way forward – we have far more in common than Washington wants you to believe. You can visit my website to learn more about my platform. I am looking forward to answering your questions. Thanks! Verification photo! ​ ​ submitted by /u/NickThomas4Congress [link] [comments]

Megathread: Trump ex-campaign chief Manafort to help Russia inquiry in plea deal Posted: 14 Sep 2018 09:10 AM PDT Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has agreed to co-operate with an investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the US election as part of a plea deal. In court on Friday, he pleaded guilty to two criminal charges in the deal with Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The agreement avoids a second trial on money laundering and other charges. Manafort was convicted last month on eight counts of fraud, bank fraud and failing to disclose banks accounts. It was the first criminal trial arising from the justice department's investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election. However, the charges only relate to Manafort's political consulting with pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine, largely pre-dating his role with the Trump campaign. On Friday, he pleaded guilty to one charge of conspiracy against the US and one charge of conspiracy to obstruct justice.
