I'm a lifetime Democrat, but have recently become extremely interested in the moderate progressive Presidential candidate, Governor Buddy Roemer, and his populist message. A self-described “Teddy-Roosevelt-Abraham-Lincoln-Republican,” (the two most progressive GOP's in history) he is the only Presidential candidate taking a stand on campaign finance reform. He speaks openly against unfair trade, and the need for sweeping bank reform and tax reform. He also openly supports Occupy Wall Street. He takes no PAC money, and is relying on individual contributions of $100. So why aren't progressives rallying around him?
Jim Hightower recently did a piece on him entitled, “A Buddy For the People” http://www.jimhightower.com/node/7569
Former U.S. Asst. Secretary of Commerce says he should be America’s choice in 2012: http://www.economyincrisis.org/content/why-buddy-roemer-should-be-our-choice-president-2012

He has been systematically shut out of the GOP debates, even when he polls above the required 1%. Seems to me that his fellow candidates, as well as other people at the top – Democrat and Republican – have a lot to lose if his message gets out.
I think he deserves our support.
Ron Lawl 2012, Ron PauI 2012 ahh use a capital i for lowercase L
Force Change, Boycott Capitalism until we have full government resignation and a new online voting system with verification so we can rebuild our country and eventually our world.
We know what the problem is, let us fix it and move forward together.
When you look at a republican or democrat, congress or FDA official, Judges and Justice Department, you see criminals.
Our corruption dates back decades to when those, who in trying to preserve slavery, had to find new ways to preserve it and so created a scientific and advanced form of slavery.
Only two components were required -- the illusion of freedom & choice and the taking away of the freedom to live off the land.
How else would you get a person to submit themselves to mind numbing or degrading work unless you oppress them into it.
Our current system is rooted in corruption and every attempt in preserving it involves manipulating human thought and turning people against one another.
In America the population has been transformed into two major voting groups but they only have one choice.
They had been distracted up until now with television and American culture which prospered through the oppression of other nations.
Americans allowed themselves to be fooled into using their military and economic dominance to seize resources of other nations and create expanding markets for American profiteers.
Now that technology, competition and conscience have evolved Americans are realizing that our current system of government is damaging and unsustainable.
Our government officials have allowed private profits and personal benefits to influence decisions that affect the health and well-being of people all over the planet, not just in America... how much longer will we allow them to rule over us??
Occupy Washington and demand that all government officials resign their posts.
We will setup new online elections with a verification system that will allow us to see our votes after we cast them, put our new officials in office and work toward rebuilding our country and our world.
Pass this message along to any and everyone, we already occupy the world, unite.
Occupy Washington, Boycott Capitalism, Force Change

I like him too. He is making a hell of a lot of sense. Get him on the Michigan debates by calling them at 517-487-5413!
yeah if you like buddy spend a few minutes looking up Ron p. on youtube
LOL, I didn't write "LAWL" -- the system changed it.
Love me some Ron Lawl. But Buddy is the only person making a stink about getting dirty $ out of politics. If we could get them on the same ticket, I would be in heaven!
getting the money out is a nice thought and I signed the pledge but I can't imagine how to possibly enforce it. We should be occupying the lobbyist's in washington if we want to send that message.
Ron PauI 2012
Ron PauI 2012
Yeah, I like him too. I think a Ron Lawl / Buddy Roemer ticket would be awesome!
Did you actually say Ron Lawl without the site's childish censors? Did they get rid of it?
Hmm, I guess not. It is childish tantrums like this that prove this movement is not for real.
I didn't write that. The system did that. LOL.
I tried posting the name R o n P a u l earlier and it ended up Ron Lawl. So much for free expression here...
you have to use a capitol i instead of L
guess I should have read this first before figuring out myself
