Many Americans are becoming aware of the nature of our electoral system--it's completely rigged! I have personally been somewhat aware of the fraud in our political system, but I got to thinking recently. Why does the media almost always, if not always, ignore the so called "third party" candidates? If our media is so fair and objective, wouldn't it make sense to give more candidates more air time? Why don't they talk more about the other candidates? Is it a lack of popularity? How can a candidate gain any kind of serious following if nobody gives him or her a voice? It's not impossible, but it's very difficult. And thanks to our wonderful Supreme Court, corporations can donate as much money to a candidate as they want, and there is no disclosure as to who donates how much to who, or at least there's no legal obligation to do so. This, of course, enables big wigs to buy politicians and manipulate elections. But it gets even better! Those same big wigs also own our media outlets. Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, NBC...you know...those guys! And because they own most of the media, they can endorse any candidate they want! Is this fair?
That is the purpose of this series of blog entries--to inform you about the many third party candidates currently running in 2012. You really do have many choices! You might say I am attempting to do my part to fill in the gap. I will do my best to be impartial and I will not be endorsing any particular candidate. I will not even be encouraging you to vote for a third party candidate. My only objective is to give you an idea of just how many choices you have and the wide variety of candidates that are out there. You have the right to know who else is out there besides Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. You might want to ask yourself why only these two candidates are given air time, and the rest of them are either shunned (like Ron Paul) or ignored altogether.
Candidates you can expect to be featured include Scott Keller, Jill Stein, Andre Barnett, Gary Johnson, and many others. Also, to paint a picture of just how many people are running for the Oval Office, I am going to provide a vast list of candidates. There are many, and I simply cannot post about all of them, but I will be bringing attention to a good number of them.
I hope you will find this series interesting and educating. Stay tuned!
And here is that list I promised you!
Concerning Myself

- I'm not a journalist, I am a thinker. I share my thoughts with the world and present them as they are. You don't have to agree, I'm not trying to pass off my thoughts as the truth, but simply a view. Think about them and question them. Don't blindly believe what I or anyone else might tell you. Research for yourself and seek the truth with your own mind. Thank you.
