Vote for Me!

It was very disappointing to see the best candidate step out of the race.  I’m quite sure Mr. Richardson had his reasons and was given plenty of political advice.  I still believe, though, that he had a much better chance, or could have, if his campaign had been handled differently.

But who am I to second guess?  I’m just a nobody living in a tin can in the East Texas woods.

Except, I’m not a nobody.  The Declaration of Independence says we’re all created equal.  It also says we have a right to affect our government.  It says if we can’t, if the government is no longer responsive to the people we have a right to change our government.  I ask you, do we as ordinary citizens have the ability to affect how our government does things?  The answer is no, we don’t.  For all  the wonderful talk about our freedom and how our vote counts we still keep listening to media bull and electing self-serving and/or incompetent people to national offices.  I, for one, am tired of the rhetoric.

There is no other candidate in either party I am prepared to support.  There’s nobody I trust to speak the truth, nobody I believe cares about the issues that are most important, nobody who understands what life is like down here on the bottom.

I have decided that there’s only one candidate I can trust.  That candidate is me.  The only “change” candidates in the race want is the kind that jingles in their pockets.  They are all part of the status quo and they will do nothing to rattle it.  I will.  I will stand up for the poor man, for children, for the elderly, for the uninsured and the unwanted.

Vote for me, H.J. Ted Gresham, independent candidate for President of the United States.  Join me.  Make your voice heard.  It’s time, friend, for this country to live up to its potential.  It’s time for a peaceful revolution at the balot box.  It’s time to toss out the regime and put in common men with common sense.  It’s time to Reclaim America!

Vote your conscience.  Vote for me.  Make the impossible possible!

Thank you very much!
