The Plan

Mission Statement

Strong America Now is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating and mobilizing a bipartisan, grassroots effort focused on eliminating the national debt and deficit using a proven waste-elimination process called Lean Six Sigma. We want to change the way Washington thinks about spending money.

A Plan to Change Washington

Strong America Now is proposing that every department, agency and program in the federal government go through the waste elimination process, Lean Six Sigma. This process is a proven method of eliminating waste with a focus on speed and quality. Mike George, the founder of Strong America Now, is the pioneer of Lean Six Sigma. He estimates that at least 25 percent all government spending is waste that can be eliminated. With the skyrocketing national deficit, Strong America Now believes the president has a duty to look at eliminating waste. The group's plans to influence the next president to do just that.

Strong America now launched its efforts in Iowa in February 2011. Our goal is to have 50,000 people who commit to only support candidates who have signed the Strong America Now pledge.  With the strength of 50,000 Iowans who signed our pledge, only those candidates who support our program can win in the Iowa Caucuses.

Strong America Now is starting its grassroots efforts in New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida and ultimately in your state.  We need you to sign our pledge and volunteer to support Strong America Now in your state. Sign-up to volunteer today!

Presidential candidates were provided a Waste Reduction Deployment Plan that defines what actions are needed to detect and eliminate waste in the federal government. To be listed on our website as a supporter of the Strong America Now plan, candidates must sign the Strong America Now Candidate Pledge. 

PRESIDENTIAL PLEDGES

Each presidential candidate has been asked to sign a pledge that binds them to eliminating spending deficits and start paying down the national debt by 2017 by deploying Lean Six Sigma waste reduction methods across the entire federal government. The pledge also requires each candidate to attend two days of Lean Six Sigma training, and complete a waste reduction project prior to Inauguration. Candidates who have signed our pledge are:

  • Rep. Michele Bachmann
  • Mr. Herman Cain
  • Former Speaker Newt Gingrich
  • Gov. Gary Johnson
  • Rep. Thaddeus McCotter
  • Rep. Ron Paul
  • Gov. Rick Perry
  • Sen. Rick Santorum

If your favorite candidate is not on this list, email him or her and ask when they plan to sign the Strong America Now pledge to eliminate the deficit with no new taxes.
