    Solidify Main Street Information Campaign Launched

    With political extremists on the left and the right, grabbing the news headlineseach and every day, a new effort has begun to reach those looking for leadershi

    p solutions who represent America's 'Main Street," and by extension, its economic middle class.

    Los Angeles - December 18, 2011 -- "Solidify Main Street" is not a new politicalparty, nor a movement, but rather an Internet-based effort to make it easier fo

    r voters to make intelligent decisions and not be influenced by people with hidden political agendas. Its slogan, in the words of its creator, Charles R. Ecker,

    is: "Replace Anger and Rage with Research, Reflection and Individual Decision-Making."

    With political polarization at an uncomfortable high in America, a new move hasbegun to reach voters across the United States to encourage them to Vote Smart inthe 2012 general elections.

    Charles R. Ecker, a former political consultant, has developed a "Solidify Main

    Street" TM web presence that offers posts and reference links "to make it easierfor voters to make informed choices this coming election season. He states thereis no charge to access the site on the World Wide Web and notes that "this workis being done without the support of any political party or movement."

    He relates that "the Solidify Main Street effort encourages an end to polarization as we head to the November, 2012 elections. Its intent is to try to offer links to go so that reasonable citizens within the wide middle of the political landscape can become their own investigative reporters as they seek information tobe educated voters at this critical time."

    The slogan of the campaign devised by Ecker is "Replace Anger and Rage with Research, Reflection and Individual Decision-Making."

    "There is way too much yelling going on between political interests at the two ends of the spectrum, and I, for one, can be overwhelmed by the constant day-to-day action and reaction by the media to people running for office who are just following the traditional campaign PR playbooks."

    Ecker, a long-time journalist and broadcaster adds: All too often, voters tow theparty line out of habit, or family heritage, or 'hard' persuasion by others. So

    me just board a political party paid-for-bus and are taken to the polls to stuffthe ballot boxes. And too many, particularly the young, get their point-of-viewfrom the late night comedians rather than delving into the candidates' position

    s or facts about issues.

    "But we all need to be very smart voters this time around. We need to care aboutthe future of our country. We don't need to accept any candidate's statements a

    t face value, no matter which party they represent."

    Solidify Main Street TM merchandise is being sold through the site, and Ecker notes that the 10% of the proceeds earned by him will go to two charities The Wounded Warrior Project and D.E.L. T.A. animal rescue.

    The man who composed the well-known song lamenting our sad financial state, Bushwacked (Bewildered, Beat-up Bad and Broke) has linked the song site to the blog, but notes that 10% of any music sales will go to the above mentioned charities as

    well.
