Aramike - This is where I have to give an answer that you probably won't like. You said "Being POTUS (or any government head, for that matter) requires a lot more than ideas and positions (even good ones)." - really? Why?

Why do you think you'd be able to be the first successful modern Presidential Candidate without the backing of either political party?

Who said I will be successful? But its time people who care did more than - as you say - call in radio shows and talk about ideas. Someone has to act - and if it stirs the pot and causes change - I call that a success. It beats sitting around whining about woulda/shoulda/coulda.


How do you plan to be able to financially compete in a Presidential race?

Did you read my above discussion of campaign finances? The fact is - the more people think about it, the more they want big money out of it. Give them an option that lets them "vote" with their money and time - and I am betting that it will be supported. I could be wrong - but again - doing is better than the alternative. Besides, the recent decade shows how powerful grass roots movements can be.

What experiences do you have working with Congress?

Ronald Reagan was not really versed in working with Congress - on the contrary - when Congress did things he didn't like, he didnt hold midnight burning oil sessions - he went to the people of the country and told em why what Congress was doing was wrong and let THEM speak out. Its empowering the people. He made it work. Not sure why I couldnt. So working with congress - its easy - they pass legislation that makes sense and furthers the best interest of this country and I will work with em fine. They act like knuckleheads and I will let them answer to the people. *Yes I know that Reagan had been a state governor prior to his run*

How would you, as an independant, be able to work with Congress (specifics)?

See above answer - I don't have to - I simply have to make sure they work FOR the people they represent.

What government leadership experience do you have?

I don't. However, I have leadership experience in another sector where I was directly responsible for millions of dollars worth of taxpayer equipment and the lives of multiple people. Nothing got lost and nobody got killed. That good enough for ya?
