Americans Elect: Recommendation Pending

I would very much like to recommend a website to every American citizen, but as of today I cannot in good conscience do so. Instead of that recommendation, I'd like to tell you a little about that site and the reason I cannot give that recommendation.

AmericansElect.org
The site I wish I could recommend to you is AmericansElect.org. They state their purpose is as follows:

THE GOAL OF AMERICANS ELECT is to nominate a presidential ticket that answers directly to voters—not the political system.
American voters are tired of politics as usual. They want leaders that will put their country before their party, and American interests before special interests. Leaders who will work together to develop fresh solutions to the serious challenges facing our country. We believe a secure, online nominating process will prove that America is ready for a competitive, nonpartisan ticket.
Why I can't recommend AmericansElect.org
Americans Elect is a patriotic dissident's wet dream - Where issues are determined by the populace, free from the influence of the Democratic or Republican parties. Unfortunately, there's not enough indicating that they are actually pursuing that dream and not just taking advantage of patriotic dissidents.
