Once we have the method of distribution with a defined philosophy that can help a society point TRUE NORTH** and a method of organization that can help perpetuate this philosophy in a ordered manner, and we have the ability to evaluate the people and the culture against the Federalist 2.0 philosophy, we need the ability to finance this effort. In this section we will concern ourselves with the need and opportunity to fund this approach and the Federalists 2.0 Philosophy to ensure effort and opportunity are properly compensated. As such we are needing to create an entity that would be able to hire and maintain a staff of people to ensure all aspects of this approach are properly managed and executed to success. So as our goals we are needing to determine how we can properly compensate the wider political class and the citizens that must live under their rule, as such the following financial frameworks are critical for success:
1) Financial Support for an Organization (Entity) that can support an Administration of people for Federalist 2.0
2) Social Network for Social Support for those individuals that advocate for the Federalist 2.0 Philosophy
3) Monetary Exchange for Services and Products that are not subject to external influence that support Federalist 2.0
4) Media Support for ensuring the Federalist 2.0 Philosophy is defended financially within the Media Proper and within a Legal Context as well
Through these mechanisms we can finance a movement and grow the movement organically buy using the tools at hand within an organization that charges a fee to participate and engage. This fee is generally called a Membership fee. There are several ways that this membership fee can be levied, but the most well-known implementations is the Free Membership that leads to a Tiered Membership. The Federalist 2.0 will implement this strategy to ensure full participations from those that are new to the Federalist 2.0 Philosophy to those who have taken the certification and passed and want to have more influence in the management of affairs within the Federalist 2.0 Culture and Movement.
Before we dive into the details around how one might organize the membership framework for the Federalist 2.0 movement, we need to understand what current challenges society has had as of today and how some of the most socially destructive policies have been advocated for and eventually passed into law by differing groups of people that are funded with differing financial approaches. People that are not familiar to the Non-Profit world and the Government Grant world must understand that some of the mechanisms that are supporting financially the policies that are directly in the opposite position of Freedom and Liberty (Thus the Federalist 2.0 Philosophy) come from these funding mechanisms.
1) The following are some articles that share the impact of socialism on the overall standard of living for a society and most importantly one of the financiers of such a set of programs is George Soros with his "Open Society". Through their "Open Society" non-profit they fund different movements with donations and grants that push forward an agenda that destabilizes nations and destroys the essence of a democratic state. So, we need to ask the first question, "What mechanisms can be brought to the table to combat this strategy of using Non-Profits and their Granting Mechanisms?"

https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/open-society-foundations/
NOTE: Since in a society there are many people that have many different perspectives on how to live and how a society should be organized, those that have the most to gain by taking the control of government can and will use any means to do so. As George Soros was a man that made his fortune with the mechanisms of Capitalism, he may have used those mechanism without conscience and hence realized he could influence the world in a way that he could gain more wealth or control, or he is a non-believer set to see the world be destroyed or maybe he does not have faith and believes he and his followers are the only ones that can bring justice to the earth. In the end, these are misguided intentions that harm the average individual and is not focused on the primary goal of having political policy that points TRUE NORTH** for all citizens of a nation.
2) Now many people will not believe that there is a money wheel with the use of Public Money combined with Non-Profit organizations to influence public policy. The following articles outline that there is a VERY direct line to making efforts to influence those that would vote for "progressive" policies that extract wealth from the private markets and drive it into the public marketplace where the money is used to subsidize ideas and approaches that do not optimize the natural creative nature of human-kind. The second question then becomes, "What mechanisms can be brought to the table that would further develop and maintain the Federalist 2.0 Philosophy without the use of Government funds?"

https://www.macfound.org/press/grantee-publications/foundations-and-public-policy/
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/puar.12550
NOTE: As one can see, the wheels of influence and money exchange are driving the ever more able bodied and capable individuals that advocate for a "progressive" almost "Socialistic" agenda where this philosophy works to remove money from the private sector and distribute it within the public sector. Once we understand these mechanisms, there is a direct need to define a mechanism that would directly impact and counter these efforts. There is an ever-growing influence by a growing set of citizens that want to put a stop to these efforts to change the US Constitution so that it can be more focused on socialism or progressivism. Through this need, it is apparent that a Membership Mechanism would need to have enough "Value" inherent in the system, such that the average citizen would be able to personally judge and understand the impact of their elected official's decisions and compare it to a philosophy for which they advocate.
3) So now we come to the obvious need to fund the Federalist 2.0 entity through a membership technique. The following articles share the advantages of the membership technique and a focus on providing sole funding through this mechanism with an aversion from "Investment" or large-scale donations that come with attached strings. The Third and Final question is, "What method of a membership model would best serve the Federalist 2.0 Philosophy?"

https://www.chargebee.com/blog/subscription-pricing-strategies/
https://boardsource.org/resources/membership-organization/
NOTE: So, we come full circle to understand that there are examples and patterns that show that a membership mechanism can be used to not only fund the administration of an organization that would support the Federalist 2.0 philosophy, it would fund and manage the certification process as well as three other critical funding mechanisms that will allow this philosophy to flourish:
-
Funding the politically active (Both Advocates and Politicians)
-
Providing a platform for the active to sell merchandise without political retribution (Selling books, products, and media)
-
Providing a mechanism to reward media that promotes and advances the notions around Federalist 2.0 Philosophies
With this as the context we then can come to our 11th Question:
Question 11: What type of financial mechanism can capture the intent of the citizen to both advocate for a political philosophy that is agnostic to the positions of power and will provide mechanisms to vote financially for individuals and products that further that perspective?
As such, we must then push forward one of the natural theories of societies:
Theory 11: Political policies will always be funded buy those that have to most to gain - An individual that is not held to a philosophy or concept of a consistent governance structure will be bound to the whims and desires of those they are dependent upon for their own political survival (The Political Class/Group). This results in advocating for and voting for policies that drive additional funds to that Political Class/Group to further advocate for such efforts.
NOTE: These theories should be scrutinized within the scientific method such that we can hone in on a God given truth, and allow that truth to be more accurate as time passes.
Within this context then, we must initiate a method that can combat this theory. This method must utilize the existing approaches and techniques that itself is attempting to combat. This method must be flexible and allow a society to make errors and mistakes such that they always make policy decisions that head TRUE NORTH**.
Method 11: Within the context of the Federalist 2.0 philosophy, there is a need to develop a funding tool that will allow citizens to support the Federalist 2.0 Philosophy while also allowing the citizens to advocate for and support other means of social and materialistic (Product) efforts.
One of the proposed methods is the notion of a membership that can be tiered to ensure that as members pay more, they have more requirements for advancing while also having more influence in the decision making as they advance. The following levels could be consistent with this thinking:
-
Free Level - $0 per month / $0 per Year - Access to "free" content, not ability to vote or comment on the site
-
Bronze A - $1 per month / $10 per Year - Access to the "paid" services but only able to vote for content.
-
Bronze B - $5 per month / $50 per Year - Access to the "paid" services but only able to vote for content.
-
Silver A - $10 per month / $100 per Year - Access to the "paid" services able to vote and comment on content.
-
Silver B - $50 per month / $500 per Year - Access to the "paid" services able to vote and comment on content.
-
Gold A - $100 per month / $1,000 per Year (Must have Certification) - Access to the "paid" services able to vote and comment on content and able to vote on rules and comment on rules.
-
Gold B - $500 per month / $5,000 per Year Access to the "paid" services able to vote and comment on content and able to create rules and vote on rules and comment on rules.
-
Platinum (Angel) - $1000 per month / $10,000 per Year - Access to the "paid" services able to vote and comment on content and able to create and vote on rules and comment on rules. Can sit on the Angle committees that sets Philosophy Direction, votes for decertification, and other alignment needs as time permits and issues occur.
Where these different levels will allow the membership holder to participate in different organizational "councils" is they so choose or if they are asked to do so. There will be councils that are managing the affairs of the Federalist 2.0 Philosophy and watchers of associated certified politicians. To sit on a "council" you must have a certification and maintain that certification over time. All Councils will have at most 12 and at minimum 2 members in good standing with passing certifications. There will be 4 levels of councils:
-
Level 1 - National Council
-
Must be Platinum (Angel)
-
-
Level 2 - State Level
-
Must be at least Gold or Above
-
-
Level 3 - County Level
-
Must be at least Silver or Above
-
-
Level 4 - City Level (When a city is incorporated with voting members)
-
Must be at least Bronze or Above
-
Membership in each council can be either appointed if no candidates run, or if candidates run the winner must be approved by the previous Level. The positions are always subject to change if previous level deems it necessary. Each council will have the responsibility to report on and rate the performance of the elected officials within their oversight. They are responsible for helping promote Social Media efforts at their level as well as manage feedback from the community on reporting in the Media. The Councils will meet once a month at a minimum in person or over a conference call and the agenda will review learnings at the political, social media and regular media levels where they would make decisions on ranking performance. Finally, they will address internal challenges where membership may not have performed to the Federalist 2.0 expectations and would recommend that the individual in question be De-Certified and moved to the FREE status.
This distributed set of controls and decision mechanisms allows these groups to operate at a hight level. The following article demonstrates the importance of a distributed model for governance:
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/06/how-to-predict-the-future/588040/
This distributed model can and will establish a set of tools to best manage a country's citizens, and in doing so provide a set of methods that can perpetuate and organize a philosophy that cannot be dominated by any group and should be self-correcting over time and finally, does not rely on a select elite that have the final "ANSWER" because of their blood or their education or their exposure to the world.
The general framework of this approach does not provide mechanisms to "donate" directly to the organization. There is a problem when a few donors are led to believe they have a right to set the direction of an organization due to the enormity of their donations. To ensure there are still opportunities for larger donations, the Federalists 2.0 will have a secondary donation track where money can be donated and with that money people's memberships are "funded" by the donations. The determination on whom gets funded relies on the member to submit their proposal as to why they would and could perform at the identified levels. The National Council and the Administration would determine whom would be most fit for the funding for the levels. Once they have been funded, unless they are De-Certified through an offense, or their own social media efforts result in earnings that cover their membership, they will continue to be funded as long as funds are available.
The last component that is critical but less understood is the legal battles being waged at every level of the political system. There is ALSO a need to support creators and individuals that articulate and share their knowledge and understanding. And for those people to have access to legal council is critical to their continued success and there is a greater need to build a legal set of back cases that support and provide context for future legal efforts. This Legal Arm of the Federalist 2.0 would be funded at 5% to 10% of the total membership dues provided and this area would be a standard focus to ensure that the members on the site are protected from unfettered attacks to prevent them from taking hold and setting precedence at the expense of the TRUE NORTH** Philosophy.
**TRUE NORTH: The notion of a TRUE NORTH heading is the idea that there is a method of thought that is spiritual in nature that is morally sound within the context of God. This notion and belief in ONE TRUE GOD provides a moral approach to how the world is viewed and how cultural and political decisions can and should be made to minimize the pain some groups endure given a political class's governing approach. TRUE NORTH maximizes an individual's ability to cleanse their soul, sharpen their character and build a sustainable society through wealth generation.
