Fifteen minutes+

We’ve been getting some great press this week, starting Sunday with this story on WINK News. Today the latest issue of Florida Weekly featured a profile in Fifteen Minutes. Why even the Naples Daily News was kind enough to post our last press release verbatim.
The word is getting out…

Who represents you?

As I go out and talk with people not so much as a candidate, but in my everyday activities, there’s a question I constantly ask myself “Who is truly representing them in Washington DC?”
This afternoon I did a brief interview with WINK News (which will be airing tonight at 6:30) about third party candidates. This was spurred on by Ralph […]

Elegance in Simplicity

After his speech at the BUPAC meeting last month, Jack Tymann and I spoke about fear, terrorism, Islam, partisan politics, and the concept of moderates. We also manage to throw in the Golden Rule for good measure.

 
Be sure to check out the raw footage of the full speech: Part 1 and Part 2. Also, the raw […]

Donate Online!

Great news, we are now accepting donations online!

As much as I hate the idea of having a flashing credit card logo on site dedicated to chasing the merchants of corruption out of the temples of democracy (metaphorically speaking, of course!) I have to confess I am learning the unfortunate necessity of having to ask for […]

Castro Resigns

Fidel Castro announced his retirement today, and now is the time to reassess our policy towards Cuba.Â
 It would difficult to argue that his retirement represents the success of over forty years of embargo. It always seemed to me that the sum total of American policy towards Cuba was predicated on the notion that once Fidel Castro was out of […]

Democracy in Action

Yesterday we shot some of our first day of going door to door to get the nearly 5,000 signatures need to get on the November Ballot. It’s either that or pay over $6,600 which doesn’t seem very democratic to me…
 

 
The Raw footage is also availible here.

Politics can be civil

Nothing ruins a great performance by the Dunbar High School Band more than a couple of politicians talking, but that’s what happened when I met up with Democratic challenger Larry Byrnes after the march on Martin Luther King Day.

… and I apologize for the gaps in the subtitles where I couldn’t hear or remember clearly what […]

Platform getting nailed down

You might notice there’s a new Platform page listed. (There’s now even a picture of me on the About page too!)
At this point, the page itself is still bare-bones, but we are finally getting the text of this campaign’s platform down. Over the next week or so, I’ll be soliciting feedback about what’s important to […]

Party Animals?

As we are now deep into the primary voting of the mainstream parties super-duper-ultra-mega-transforming Tuesday Royal (or whatever the media is calling it), I will remain neutral as an independent candidate, and not pick any favorites.Â
However, if one were to read The Party Animal Either Plays Well or Fights Well  from Sunday’s NY Times, and to consider my past […]
