Signature Petition Sheet
Volunteers can print this form and begin gathering signatures immediately.
Each volunteer will need to have each page notarized before it can be turned over to Lester. When you are satisfied that you have reached as many of your friends, work colleagues, and members of your church as possible, let Lester know you need help finding a notary.
Watch for focus group events in your area where Lester will be speaking (or host one yourself). Where possible, Lester will ensure that a notary is present at each of these events.

“The Ideograph Circle” — Francis vs. Burke
A visual explainer for focus group discussions. Shows how Cardinal Burke’s framing of “family values” functioned as a narrative monopoly, and how Pope Francis (2023) began engineering the shared premise that created space for a dialectic narrative community.

“Christian VIYOBIs” — The Pope Leo Moment
The updated Ideograph Circle, reframed for the current moment. Shows how “Illegal Aliens are Criminals” functions as an interpretive monopoly and how a pragmatic single-issue voter can find an alternative narrative.

“No Third Way” — The 2026 Ballot
Frames the stark reality of the American two-party system: in 2026, the ballot offers conservative “family values” (with authoritarianism) or a deliberative process (with checks and balances). There is no third way. Use this when someone argues that neither side is worth supporting — it cuts through false equivalence and connects the WWJD question to the concrete choice on the ballot.

“The Christian Bargain of 2024”
The accountability handout. Lays out, side by side, what Christian voters were shown (executive actions reversible on Day One) versus what actually became law ($1 trillion in Medicaid cuts, 300+ rural hospitals at closure risk, tax cuts to the top 1%). Anchored by Matthew 25:35–36. Use this when the conversation turns to “but they delivered on faith.”

“Silence Is Betrayal” — Accountability
The accountability flyer. Documents the gap between what the incumbent tells her district and what she does in the statehouse. This is why almost 1-in-5 voters refused to fill in the bubble in 2024. Use this when the conversation turns to “why bother challenging an incumbent?”

A Pragmatist’s Guide to Voting
No date or location — general-purpose version
Lester’s “It’s Not Fiction — It’s My Life” presentation tells his story as an ethnographic analysis of how colonization created a climate of “extraction.” The conclusion presents a simple question: “Have we been duped into voting in a way that has allowed Christianity to be weaponized as a tool of the elite?”
