9/2/04 - I have archived some of the news into the What's New Archive.
I got my Michael Badnarik (Libertarian) presidential campaign bumper
sticker this week. It's already on my car.
This is a very important election. Please vote. Please do not forget
that while most of the government is run by two parties, funded by
special interests, and want to keep your votes restricted to those
two parties, the United States is a democracy. There are other
candidates. If you are unsure of who to vote for, or have not heard
anything about the other party's candidates please try the
SelectSmart.com candidate selector. It is a quiz that will give you
results based on questions determining your political stances. The
following is the output it gave me:
1. Badnarik, Michael - Libertarian (64%)
2. Cobb, David - Green Party (51%)
3. Nader, Ralph - Independent (51%)
4. Kerry, Senator John, MA - Democrat (42%)
5. Bush, President George W. - Republican (42%)
6. Brown, Walt - Socialist Party (40%)
7. Peroutka, Michael - Constitution Party (34%)
