Forum Post: True Main Street Guy trying to get in Congress

I am running for the US House of Representatives for the 45th district of California. I haven't declared my candidacy yet because as a 99%er I cannot afford the $1,740 fee and have to wait for the first of the year to try and get signatures. So easy for those with money to pay the fee as the rich have the donations but heaven forbid a common man with barely any means to feed his family try and run. We will stop him by making him wait 4 months longer to try and get 3,000 signatures in order to declare. The Wall Street movement needs people in Congress to vote for the voice of the people and I aim to do that but it is had with no funds, no job, and on food stamps and medical it is way to hard to pay the money and begin campaigning now for change. The kicker is I am an intelligent college graduate. Isn't that a key example of how this system has gone wrong. Any support is appreciated so we can get into Congress and tell them to get the money out, create jobs, and watch this country thrive. Any further questions or comments please reply or e-mail me at bmorales2451@gmail.com. Let's change this country.
