NEW 3RD PARTY CANDIDATE!
He's limiting campaign contributions to $100. As soon as I can turn 10 tricks, I'm writing him a check. Well, or using Western Union. I doubt if he can win but at least a true progressive can force republicrat Obama's hand on the many issues he's faltered on. "During his two mayoral terms from 2000 to 2008, Anderson was an outspoken champion of LGBT rights, environmental sustainability, and the antiwar movement in opposition to the Iraq War. Vowing to fight the influence of money over politics, Anderson kicked off his campaign on Monday with a pledge to limit individual donations to $100 a person. Anderson and the Justice Party say they hope to build a grassroots movement heading into the November 2012 elections. “We launched the Justice Party because the entire system is so corrupt,” Anderson says. “It’s so diseased that we know that the public interest is not being served by anyone in the system right now, particularly, [by] the two dominant parties who have sustained this corrupt system and who are sustained by it."
