NoPoli Network News (NNN) Announces Social Media Peoples Court: Puts ‘Indicted’ Politicians On ‘Trial’


At NoPoli.org, NoPoli Network News (NNN) allows members of the public to ‘indict’ and ‘prosecute’ political figures. ‘We the people’ can then vote to ‘convict’ or ‘acquit’. Potential defendants include Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Ben Nelson, Barney Frank, Sarah Palin, Meg Whitman, Joe Barton, David Vitter and Joe Wilson

NoPoli Network News (NNN) the communications channel of The National Organization For Political Integrity, will be sponsoring the first ever Social Media People’s Court, created to ‘indict’ politicians across the country and put them on ‘trial’ through popular vote of ‘we the people’. After indictments have been handed down, members of the public may vote to convict or acquit the political figure as they see fit. Potential defendants include Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, Harry Reid, Ben Nelson, Barney Frank, Sarah Palin, Meg Whitman, Joe Barton, David Vitter and Joe Wilson

“It is a fact,” stated NNN Publisher and Editor in Chief Steve Kessler, “that many Americans are completely fed up with politics and politicians in general. Many feel powerless and have come to realize that public figures often consider themselves to be completely above the law. Greed, corruption and mutual back-washing have become the norm. Voting in this environment has come to be seen by many as ‘choosing the lesser of two evils.’ However, in today’s Internet culture, social media has proven itself to be a powerful political force in its own right, at last allowing the voice of the public to be heard. We intend to allow those voices to be heard, and heard loudly.”

Recent events, ranging from reporting of the political upheaval in Iran, to the Tea Party Movement, to tens of millions of Americans voting for their favorite singers and dancers on American Idol and Dancing With The Stars, have proven that the public has the ability to not only take back political power, but also to make or break the careers of budding rock stars, corrupt political figures and self serving corporate interests. This is starting to happen regardless of government intervention, the dictates of Wall Street lobbyists and political propaganda.

NoPoli.org will initially present ten political figures as candidates for indictment. Others may be suggested by members of the public. Indictments will be handed down based on public voting. Political figures who are indicted will then be tried by the public in a mock trial format. Guilty or not guilty verdicts will also be based on votes submitted by the public at the NNN’s website, http://www.NoPoli.org/peoplescourt. Each politician will be notified of their indictment and the subsequent findings of the ‘we the people’ ‘jury.'

“We are announcing this today on YouTube,” continued Kessler, “and a number of other high profile video sites. We will also be putting the word out through numerous social media channels, including Twitter, Facebook and many others. We encourage everyone who desires to be a part of ‘taking back America’ to join us. It’s time to tell our political figures that our voices not only matter – but they are the only voices that should matter, regardless of what our politicians have come to think.”
