well, son…that is what my platform includes. it also should be
de-centralized which mean it would be ultimately cheap energy, tending not
to generate obscenely huge profits…just energy. the huge corporations are
trying to replace oil with another centralized product…be it bio-fuels,
“clean coal,” nuclear…which they will control. and they are saying are
environmentally friendly! of course they boldly lie! and then they tell us
we won’t have to change our life style or the american dream…if we switch
over to their new product!

ron paul is a man of principles. i think i share about half of his views…such as cutting the military, closing most if not all of our foreign bases, reducing our national debt, preserving our personal freedoms and rights. i disagree with the other half such as abortion, privatization of governmental services, and most of his domestic stands. but he is honest and direct, a real maverick. it was disgusting how the mainstream media [and the parties] treated/portrayed him and the rest of “not-top-two”‘ candidates!

one of the things we have done during our campaign is set up a page, writein2008/index.html, where we have compiled the U.S. Presidential Write-in Candidate Requirements for each State. [when i say “we,” i mean my guy corey with the kind help of richard winger, the nation’s foremost expert on ballot access.]

unfortunately oklahoma is one of the states that absolutely doesn’t allow write-ins…thereby really disenfranchising their voters.

Realistically/practically a write-in candidate can not “win” the presidency because the odds are stacked against such an independent candidate in various ways. The lack of money is the least of it. Almost half of the states either outright do not allow their people to write somebody in or make it virtually impossible for somebody to become an officially sanctioned write-in candidate. You can’t “win” when half of the states are off limits to you no matter how much money you have. Add to this the freezing out of both independent and third-party candidates by the mainstream (and most of the “alternative”) media coverage and so on, it becomes obvious “winning” is not a sane goal for someone in my position to have. This is only one example of freezing out! Here is another example. There is a dj on a college radio station who wants to interview me on his show. But he has to wait until he gets clearance that my appearance won’t violate the “fairness” law.meantime, the two mainstream candidates are on everywhere all the time! This freezing out is really the artificially freezing of the evolution of our political system, freezing into power the current two major parties. The two parties have carved up the country between themselves much like Coke and Pepsi!

Historically independent and third-party candidates have induced new possibilities, expanded our freedoms, and introduced fresh concepts into the society, which the mainstream then absorbs. The process is very similar to that of the artist in society. I have operated within the process of an artist in society focused on inducing change in society for 40 years. So I’m use to, and comfortable in, the process, operating with little/no money, getting the message [the dream/vision] out despite the blocks, getting things done in new ways, etc. The European mainstream press has given our campaign serious respectful coverage. It now looks like we will qualify in most states where that is a possibility. That is amazing for a campaign that has no money or an army of operatives! But the real fuel for me is seeing people fill up with hope when they read my platform.

You should be free to write-in Ron Paul, me, or whomever you wish. But not in Oklahoma! They would throw your ballot away! I would still write in because I believe the more votes [even uncounted votes] a dream gets the closer the dream is to becoming reality. I understand that a lot of people don’t grasp this concept!

Frank Moore

Thanks again for the reply. It really disappoints me that I can’t write-in in Oklahoma and have my ballott counted. While I also see that winning is a far shot, due to many factors, I agree with you that running gives a chance to spread a message.

The media is a hard thing to defeat; owned by the big corporations, it seems as if they just tell people who to vote for, which is sickening. I thank you very much for giving many people hope, and the idea that there are still people willing to run on concepts of liberty and change.

I wish you luck on your campaign, and I will heavily consider writing in, so that at least the “system” knows that we want to have a voice. I even emailed my state House represenative, and I hope to talk to him about it.

Thank you,
Tanner

Frank,

I appreciate what you’re doing by running for president in these tough times by keeping the Constitution alive, and fighting against the two party system. But I do want to know, why do you promise to do such things on your platform when they are the duty of Congress? I am sure you’ve realized this problem, so I also want to know, what would you do in order to get Congress to act? Congress has been in a stalemate riding on party lines, so this concerns me.

Best of luck to you! I am still very unsure on who to vote for. I was planning on voting for Ron Paul, but he has dropped out.
