Save the world from evil. Sell some hats.

Who is behind MANEA.info?

Just a regular guy. U.S. citizen, father, husband, teacher.

There’s nothing more to it?

We hope it becomes more. Imagine… a candidate for U.S. congress who campaigns on her understanding of budgets, personal integrity, and overall competence. She is civil with her opponents and refuses to make promises to any special interest groups. She says things that people need to hear but don’t want to hear. For instance, she would raise taxes and reduce entitlement spending, pointing out that it is dangerous and immoral to saddle our children with crippling financial obligations. She is reluctant to even talk about hot-button social issues, repeatedly saying that congress needs good legislators, not activists. She does little campaigning, viewing her candidacy as a simple willingness to serve rather than an ego trip. She is who we need—But in today’s political environment, there is zero chance she would win. Now imagine... her winning due to support from tens of thousands of white-hat-wearing voters. That’s a future worth buying a hat for.

What evils are you talking about?

MANEA.info won’t try to define what is evil and what isn’t-- That would distract from the goal. But we see Americans betraying each other and the rest of the world in ways we used to think impossible.

Is this an anti-MAGA thing? An anti-woke thing?

Yes, but only because of the lies and evil deeds.

What do you mean, “…Not Evil AGAIN”? Are you saying there was some golden age when the U.S. was perfect?

We are not naïve. But we’d put the U.S of the 1990s up against the U.S. of the 2020s in a not-evil contest any day of the week.

Why do you sell other stuff, but only talk about the hats?

Symbolism. “White Hat” is a synonym for “good guy.”

Is "white hat" some sort of racist code?

No.

So, people who buy your hats are self-proclaimed good guys?

They're more like the cheering section for the good guys. The world is desperate need of people willing to stand up for good. Being a white hat means TRYING to recognize and reject bad behavior in all areas of government. See the White Hat Pledge page for more detail.

Why aren’t the hats cheaper?

It turns out it’s not cheap to produce custom hats in small quantities. If this catches on, we’ll probably figure out how to make them cheaper.

What are you doing with the money from selling the hats?

Keeping it.

How dare you?

It’s not that much money. Ask again when it is.
