As you know Michael Bloomberg turned down the nomination for President of the United States of America. Ron Paul will not denounce the nomination nor will he endorse it. I’ve heard talk on Ballot-Access.org, ThirdPartyWatch.com and IndependentPoliticalReport.com that they’re thinking of replacing the Bloomberg/Paul ticket with either T. Boone Pickens/Ron Paul or Chuck Baldwin/Darrell Castle. This is where we come in, I sent this e-mail to the address above…

“I’m personally a supporter of Ron Paul, I didn’t agree with your nomination of Michael Bloomberg. I’ve heard that Chuck Baldwin/Darrell Castle may be the substitute ticket. I personally think your party should go with Chuck Baldwin/Ron Paul ticket or Ron Paul/Chuck Baldwin ticket (the latter would be a much better ticket) that will earn you votes and get our RonPaulForums.com grassroots support for that ticket in Virginia. We’re already committed to helping Paul/Peroutka ticket in Montana and Paul/Goldwater Jr. ticket in Louisiana, our efforts would love to support a Baldwin/Paul or Paul/Baldwin ticket in Viriginia. Make it happen, you’ll get the votes, guranteed. :) ”

So I suggest everyone e-mail and spam the hell out of these guys with phone-calls as well. I think we could get our voices heard, especially if they’re considering Baldwin/Castle, but Paul/Baldwin just has a much better ring to it. :)

They’re “Conservative Greens” whatever that means, but anything to get Ron Paul/Chuck Baldwin on the ballot or vice-versa. If they want votes this election cycle, that’s what they’ll get.

That would be Dr. Negative Gaines to you. As for the duplicitous surface charm, camaraderie, and jolliness at which you and Carey Campbell have always been so adept, nobody is buying it.

Re: positive solutions……how about actually reading Green Party press releases, position papers, and issue statements once in awhile — where you will find what you seek in abundance — instead of wasting your time on eye-rolling pipe dreams that, as has already been made abundantly clear to you, nobody involved in any party or movement that the rest of the world takes seriously is in any way interested?

I repeat my suggestion. Nominate Lyndon LaRouche. I’m sure he’d be delighted to share your spotlight.

Your pal,

Should a looming figure with his credibility as NYC Mayor and the ability to finance his own campaign actually decide to become a true independent and operate outside of the big two with a huge chance at succeeding, it would benefit all of our third party causes.

The saddest saga in all of this is the fact that we as third parties tend to bicker and find points of contention rather than unite and take advantage of what we have in common. Namely the gross injustice of ballot access, debate exclusion and unfair campaign finance rules among the many suppression tactics that the big two throw at our candidates.

Early on we recognized that Unity08 was nothing but a big two party diversion designed specifically to thwart any unifying of the third parties. Sadly they succeeded since having four names on the ballot in Virginia besides the big two is not going to help any of us achieve ballot access.

I would also like to congratulate the Greens, Nader, and the Libertarians for making the ballot in Virginia. And I would ask Mr. Yager, Mr. Gaines and others to use your talents in finding positive solutions. We have common interests here – now can we be gentlemen about this?
