A New 3rd party candidate enters the race for 2012

Did you hear about the new viable 3rd party (Justice Party) candidate entering the race for the 2012 presidential election?

"Oh heaven help me." Please let it be true!!

His name is Rocky Anderson and and he a former mayor of St Lake City.  I'm not sure I ever thought of Utah as a progressive state (but heck they do believe in polygamy) so hey, I'm ready to listen. At this point there are NO good choices in the present 2-party system, since they are merely different sides of the same coin. Even if he can't win, there needs to be running who can bring up the real issues and generate a real discussion about what is really going on in America.

I will have to study him a little more but he does want to introduce an amendment to "get the money out of politics". As the number one issue facing our democracy, this issue needs to be front and center. So I will listen to what he has to say. Couldn't be any worst than the current Republican clown show or the too weak president we have in office now.

Statement on the issues
"Most of us are fed up with the one-party political system in which both Democrats and Republicans are controlled by the same corporate and defense interests. We believe that the leadership of this country should be non-partisan, not bought, and thereby fully representative of public opinion in all its dimensions:  on economics, tax, health, foreign policy and all other political issues."  more
