Welcome to the American Voters Association (AVA) web site. My name is Terrance Bushard. I am a 59 year old life long resident of St. Paul, MN. I've earned a degree in business from the University of Minnesota and have been in the printing business since 1983.

I put this web site up because I am very concerned about the financial management of our federal government by U. S. Senators and Representatives, very intelligent people all.

If you google "the national debt clock" and "unfunded federal entitlement liabilities," you'll find out why I am concerned and I think all "financial patriots" ought to be too!

You'll find a national debt of around $9.4 Trillion and a GAO estimate of $53 Trillion in unfunded federal entitlements. That's a total of $62.4 Trillion in debt and future financial obligations that future tax payers are going to have to come up with. That's around $207,000.00 for every one of around 300,000,000 Americans.

By anyone's standards, this is frightening financial management. This frightening financial management goes on and on and on "without question" in the sense that we are not organized for the purpose of questioning them about it on a continual and timely basis, and in an organized manner.

Therefore, the AVA goal is to organize 5 million "financial patriots" for the purpose of having AVA representatives interview every U. S. Senator and Representative every month about their financial management of our federal government.

I have a "risk free" plan to organize "financial patriots" and put an end to this "without question" insanity. I call it the "12 Step Interview Intervention Program." For details, see below.

The "12 Step Interview Intervention Program" is risk free in the sense that no one will be asked to pay any nominal fee to cover costs, until and unless, 5,000,000 people commit to join the AVA.

The bet is that, once we do this, all politicians, knowing they will have to answer for their questionable spending and their questionable financial management of our government, will change their behavior, rather than try to explain the inexplicable, for fear of being ousted in the next election!

At the end of the day, financial patriots do not allow politicians to financially manage or mismanage their government, "without question."

Join us using the link at the top of this page, and recruit 10 of your friends to do the same. "The 12 Step Interview Intervention Program" ought to encourage all politicians to "patriot up" when it comes to the financial management of our government. God may bless America, but financial patriots organize to question U. S. Senators and Representatives!

Thank you for visiting the AVA web site,

The "12 Step Interview Intervention Program!"

The basic plan is to interview every U. S. Senator and Representative every month and viable challengers 3 times prior to an election. We will tape, transcribe and post these interviews on our web site for members to view at their leisure. Members can not only read the interviews of their Representative and Senators, they can also read the interviews of any Senator or Representative they choose to. We will also have streaming video, in case you don't want to read the interviews, you can watch and listen.

We will not only be asking about "questionable" spending items, but we will be asking about the overall financial management of our government, including Social Security, Medicare and the debt. The questions will be easy to understand like, "why are you making us pay for a 'bridge to nowhere' in Alaska?" Or, where is the money for the unfunded entitlements going to come from?

The program is predicated upon 5,000,000 members because I believe 5,000,000 members would be too many for politicians to ignore!

The "12 Step Interview Intervention Program" will begin 3 months after we get 5,000,000 members. 3 months because preparation takes time.

The program is "risk free." No one will be asked to pay any nominal fee to cover costs until, and unless, The AVA gets 5,000,000 commitments to join. In fact, no mechanism will be created to facilitate payment, until, and unless, we get 5,000,000 commitments to join.

Finally, your anonymity is guaranteed!

That's the program. It's simple by design, because the "without question" part of the "politics of financial mismanagement as usual" equation, is simple to solve. Now, all "we" have to do is get 5,000,000 members. That is why your passing this message forward to at least 10 of your internet friends, with your strong personal endorsement, is so important.

We have to stop this "without question" nonsense. It is not sustainable, and it looks like intergenerational financial abuse to me.
