Democrats: You still have a Choice!!!

ABC News: Meet The Candidates

Okay for those of you who are disillutioned with both Barrack & Hillary....and just can't bring youself to vote for a republican (although McCain is pretty much a Dem)......don't worry about closing you eyes and just choosing---

There is one more candidate that's running on your ticket that isn't getting ANY press coverage--poor guy! Why he isn't screaming for equal air time is beyond me.

His name is Mike Graver. He anti-war and waged a 5 month fillibuster to end the draft. He has been out of the Senate & politics for 25 yrs but felt so strongly about his feelings on Iraq that he decided to jump back into the world of politics.

He is a down to earth guy that once worked as a New York taxi driver--and as a special agent for the US Army. He was also part of the "Pentagon Papers" that exposed the US (aka Kennedy/Johnson) involvement with the start of Viet Nam--wagging the dog, so to speak--
But he is such a normal guy that he even admits to having suffered personal backruptcy at one point in his life based on medical bills eating his income--he believes that you shouldn't have to choose between meds & food or meds & a roof over your head.

And he is trying to keep his presidential run to $10million! Just think if he can be that frugal with his campaign what he would do with the countries spending spree!!!

AND no matter how big his campaign gets he said he will never employ more than 15 people to handle his campaign---to help keep costs down.....now apply that to the federal government!

So far he has raised a total of $146, 042
and still has $31,141 left....ewwww. This man needs money, honey. Of couse they haven't updated this info since july of last year.

He loves microwave popcorn (I like stove popped myself)
Likes to watch news & history shows
he meditates
Likes to walk
Likes cookies & Milk---quick get the nearest Girl Scout cookie troop over to him!
likes doing carpentry (got to like a guy that works with his hands)
He actually uses public transportation & shares a single car with his wife
He suffers from/deals with dyslexia--an under diagnosed condition that would get a lot of kids off retalin.
He has a dog! A Shih-poo (shih-tzu/poodle mix) named GINGER I've got to love that!
and to top it all off, his favorite memory of growing up is his mother's cooking!!!!

Oh this guy is so cuddly!! If only it wasn't his stance on the war...
I should check this info out for all the candidates---of course you can just check it out yourself too.

When you go to the candidate matcher (prev. post) look for the tab on the top that says "Meet the Candidates"
