I have begun accepting testimonials
and votes of support. Please write to me and I will add your
name to this list (or initials and state, etc)
Please take, with me, the
following pledge, intended to literally get the money out of
politics and to open up debate:
I pledge
to not give money to the Democratic or Republican parties
Or to their candidates
Until we have nationwide
public funding of campaigns
And real debates
That are open to all
ballot-qualified candidates
Having a
statistical chance of winning their races.
Please help Rock the Vote and
Rock the Debates
If you are not yet
registered please register Green
People Who Find Me Qualified and Acceptable
as a Candidate
I created this category so that those who know me could voice
their conditional support even though they may be holding out for
Nader, McKinney, or another Green Party candidate. Part of the
concern is that the media tend to exclude alternative party
candidates and a "big name" is a helpful draw.
