"Ruby, My Dear": All 13 Presidential Candidates!

Here's a list of all the candidates running for President!

There are thirteen candidates on the ballot in states throughout the country. How come the media, except for one or two, has not devoted even five minutes to their views and positions?

Several of these candidates are even hard find on their party's websites. The American Independent Party site doesn't mention that Alan Keyes is their candidate. In fact, it makes no mention of their party putting a name in the race.

The Green Party has put forth two women for President and Vice-President . In Cynthia McKinney, former US Congresswoman from Georgia, the party has a candidate with local and national legislative experience, the same as Democrat Obama. The Green party's website has lots of news, analysis, local events, and critiques of Democratic and Repulbican views. Also the Greens are global, connected to Green parties in Europe through their shared political philosophy.

The Libertarian Party is the country's third largest political party, and Bob Barr (member of US Congress, Calif.) and Wayne Root are its candidates.

Ron Paul has endorsed Chuck Baldwin, candidate of the Constitutional Party.

Over the weekend, the Reform Party endorsed John McCain.

Below is a list of parties and candidates running for President.

Barack Obama (Democrat), John McCain (Republican), Chuck Baldwin (Constitution Party), Bob Barr (Libertarian Party), Ralph Nader (Independent), Cynthia McKinney (Green Party), Alan Keyes (America's Independent Party), Charles Jay (Personal Choice Party), Gene Amondson (Prohibition Party), Ted Weill (Reform Party), Gloria La Riva (Party for Socialism and Liberation), Brian Moore (Socialist Party USA), Roger Calero (Socialist Workers Party).

These men and women enrich the democratic process by their commitment. Vote to honor their example.

Walter,this is a good article and makes a lot if sense. I was rooting for Alan Ke3yes from the beginning, but after the Libertarian party chose Bob Barr over him, I even lost sight of him. But I have to stick with the big two, simply because you cannot achieve a thing, other than perhaps a good conscience, when you vote otherwise. I am as much against Obama as I was for Keyes.
