PART 1 OF 2: A crowd of citizens gathered on the courthouse lawn in Camden County yesterday (9-17) for a call to action tea party. 

    In our look at the rally, we highlight two different sized grassroots movements that were a part of the evenings events. 

    Miki Booth is from Wyandotte, Oklahoma, by way of Hawaii.  She is with GOOOH.  It stands for Get Out Of Our House, a campaign to remove all U.S. House members.The goal of the group is to raise 50 million dollars. 

    "That's a million dollars in each state to run a national campaign for the GOOOH candidate. The candidates are selected by their peers, in their communities. They have to answer one hundred questions yes or no as to how they would vote on a particular issue," Booth said.

    The candidate would then be locked into those views with a legal document, signing off saying they will vote as they have answered. 

    "And if they break the contract, and it is all legal, they would have to step down within 72 hours," Booth said. "So it puts accountability back and it's possible to do this in all 435 districts in all 50 states." 

    According to www.GOOOH.com the group will fund a single national campaign to promote the 435 candidates (one from each district) who are selected to run against the party politicians. Because goooh is a process for selecting representatives, not an agenda-based party platform, they expect a person left of center to be selected in San Francisco and one right of center in Colorado Springs -- but it will be up to the GOOOH members in each district to decide.  Booth is in the GOOOH system already. 

    "And I'm in the GOOOH process that I want to be considered by my peers to be a candidate to run against Dan Boren, District 2, Oklahoma." 

    The Wyandotte resident says money would normally stop her from considering a U.S. House run. 

    "Here's a chance that people like me, if I were there, I would certainly be writing legislation and passing bills that protect our Constitution."

    Booth gives the credit to one man, Tim Cox, who created go and among other things created credit card readers for gas pumps and worked on spy satellites.
