Perhaps the current candidates didn’t say very much before because they felt that the best strategy for defending the Constitution was to wait until they could run for President, which is what they are doing now. Wasn’t that a reasonable thing for them to do?

Answers to Questions:
1. Q. Why don’t you think that those already running are better qualified than you are?
A. Because the most important qualification that a President must have to be worthy of the office is absolute integrity when it comes to keeping his or her oath of office. When I saw that the Constitution was under attack I made a substantial effort to speak out about it. In fact, that’s what I’m doing right now. All of the other candidates have had ample opportunity to do what I have done and am doing now. Given their visibility and position, they would have made and would still make an enormous difference if they only had the courage and the integrity to do it. But they didn’t have those qualities and apparently they still don’t, even though the evidence is overwhelming that our Constitution has been under attack. We have all lost a great deal because of the infidelity, incompetence, negligence and/or cowardice of those who took an oath of office, (or a pledge of allegiance), and failed to keep their word.
2. Q. Perhaps the current candidates didn’t say very much before because they felt that the best strategy for defending the Constitution was to wait until they could run for President, which is what they are doing now. Wasn’t that a reasonable thing for them to do?
A.
No. If you read my accumulated writings, beginning as early as February of 2001, you will see that there was always sufficient information available to anyone who wanted to look for it… evidence that George Bush, members of his administration, many others inside and outside of government,
including those who sit on both sides of the isle, were betraying our trust. None of those now running did what they could have done to protect precious life and treasure. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people have been killed or betrayed in one form or another because of their infidelity.
We have all been betrayed. Time was of the essence. It still is. Every day people are dying, losing their limbs and their homes, because people who took an oath fail to honor their word.
As far as I can tell, those who are now running for office stood by in silence while lives were destroyed, justice betrayed, our treasury dismantled, and national and international crimes committed. It’s been a betrayal of the highest magnitude. They all took the same oath. Their performance while in office even as I write this, is the best evidence we have as to what kind of a President any one of them would make.
3. Q. Besides that one issue, what evidence is there that you are qualified to be President of the United States?
A. First of all, that one issue is not trivial. It is the most important issue we now face as a people: are we going to live in a Constitutional Democracy or in some other kind of regime where some people are above the law and the rest of us are subject to the arbitrary behavior of those elite
few. The American people have been betrayed in more ways than I can list here. I have written extensively about this during the last
six years. My writings are a matter of public record and they are available to any American who has internet access and is willing to take the time to look and read. Second, if you want to research my views and learn more about me, I suggest you visit my website at www.gpln.com.
4, Q. Are you going to pay the fees and get the signatures necessary to be put on all the state ballots come Election Day?
A.
No. I’m not going to pay any fees and I don’t have money to travel, nor am I going to ask anyone to sign anything. I
will answer questions, speak
publicly when invited to do so, and I will serve my country to the best of my ability… as President if I am wanted, and as a citizen if I am not.

Q. Third party candidates never win. Why should I waste
my vote on you?
A. You
have two choices, you can vote to win or you can vote to
change the consciousness, knowing that you can't really win
until the consciousness does change.
If you vote to win, you have to
vote Democrat or Republican. If you vote Democrat or
Republican, the candidate you vote for might win, but that just
perpetuates the status quo. Feel good for a minute and
then feel the disappointment, because you lose anyway.
If you're going to lose, you
might as well have a purpose in mind.
If enough people are WILLING
to lose, we have a chance of winning. But we
have to be steadfast. STEADFAST. If Democrats knew
they would lose voting for their candidate, they would
eventually realize that the only way they can win is by voting
for what they really want. That would be a change in
consciousness.... to vote for what you really believe in despite
all the back-biting, disinformation, and money that's put into
advertising and all the other BS that goes with presidential
elections. If people would only vote their conscience,
we'd eventually have a government that works.
Instead of bashing Nader we
should have embraced him. After all, he would have made
a better President then any of the other candidates.
As you rightly point out, the
two political parties have a lock. We won't break that
lock unless we have the guts to stand up and challenge them. But
that takes individual courage and
resolve. And people who have individual courage and resolve
do not look around to see what everyone else is doing... they
just do what needs to be done... they vote with integrity.
If you can't inspire people to have integrity, then you've
lost.
If you stand with me, you
strengthen my argument. If you take the easy road-- the
status quo--you make it more difficult than it needs to be.
Join the peace train. Somebody has to be the first
passenger. Anyone can follow the crowd. Change
requires leadership. Join the leadership.
The only way to win back our
Democracy is to fight for it. These folks now running
the show need to be
replaced. My strategy will win if enough people can be
found who have the courage and the fortitude to stand fast
until they do win. But instead of looking to see if
anyone else has the courage to take the first step, decide if
you do. Everyone makes a difference. What kind of
difference will you make?
Second best doesn't work in
this game... not if you want a government that works.

6. Q.
You talk about love and all that, so how do you reconcile that
with your hatred for George W. Bush and others in his
administration?
A. I understand your question and why you
might think that I hate Bush and others. The truth is I
don't hate Bush or anyone else. There are a lot of
people who have personalities similar to Bush... people who have
attitudes that I would call despotic. They
"know" they are right and believe that whatever ends
they think are desirable justifies whatever means they might
use to achieve those ends. In the normal course of
events in every day life, people with those attitudes learn
from their mistakes. Life has a way of holding up
a mirror to them, where, if they are lucky, they learn to
outgrow their moral and intellectual immaturity and eventually
learn to participate as responsible citizens in society.
Within reason it is appropriate to tolerate the behavior of
such persons as they mature as long as others aren't hurt by
them.
The problem is when someone
like Bush is put in high office where his attitudes can be
implemented in such a way that they can literally destroy the
lives of millions of people; the damage can be irreparable and
the effects can persist for generations. It is
irresponsible, unconscionable, and intolerable for more mature
citizens to allow people with that much undeserved power to run amok like
that. We have systems in place that can stop them
(e.g., impeachment) but we're not using them.
The great failure is ours... as
a society and as individuals... we should know better, and yet
tragically we remain silent and ineffectual, allowing behavior
like his to persist.
Tolerance is a laudable trait,
but to tolerate deviant criminal behavior is not a laudable
trait. It is a sign that our society is in decline and
in great danger. The fact that Bush was able to rise to
power means that there is something very wrong in our society,
a problem that goes much deeper than the personality of just
one man or a few of his close associates.
