Top Priorities if elected: “I am the only fiscal conservative in the race – a vital issue given our rampant spending and debt, the devalued dollar and the rash of “bailouts” approved by both major political parties. I am the only candidate who is at all serious about ending our ongoing efforts in Iraq. I am the only candidate who opposes corporate subsidies: taking your money and giving it to companies. I am the only candidate who speaks forcefully to issues of economic justice like payroll taxes and Social Security.”

Why you are running? “People often say they want political ‘change.’ My candidacy offers a test of that claim. Are you going to waste your vote on more of the same, or are you going to choose a qualified, fresh choice? Thanks for your consideration.”
