Buchanan for President
Well - If I were a Republican or could vote for one in a primary I would for this man (see his incredible articles at NHGazette.com)

BUCHANAN FOR PRESIDENT 2004

Take Back America. Take Back the Republican Party.



www.johnbuchanan.org

(305) 535-9606



EVERYTHING AMERICA STANDS FOR IS AT STAKE.



DO YOU CARE ENOUGH

TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?





Please help a working journalist, armed with truth and the facts,

take back our country from the big corporations and war profiteers

and return the “neo-con” Party of Halliburton to the Party of Lincoln.



Please help get rid of George W. Bush – BEFORE next November.



“Corporations have been enthroned…An era of corruption in high places will follow,

and the money power will endeavor to prolong its reign

by working on the prejudices of the people…until wealth is aggregated

in a few hands…and the Republic is destroyed.”



-- Abraham Lincoln





What Abraham Lincoln predicted just before his death has come true.

An elite class, consisting of one-quarter of one per cent of the American population, has gained control of the 21st century global economy and reaped billions of dollars in tax-free profits while exporting American jobs overseas and displacing even more U.S. workers with illegal immigrants.

Instead of creating wealth and prosperity in the names of freedom and democracy, the corporate cabal has extracted record profits from transnational financial alliances that exploit indigenous people, developing nations and their precious natural resources.

As a result – and as a bitter irony – anti-American sentiment is on the rise around the world, just as America has accomplished what the Roman Empire also once so proudly enjoyed – undisputed hegemony.

On the domestic front, that unprecedented power has been transformed into The Patriot Act, diminished Constitutional and legal rights, and a foreign policy of “pre-emption” also known as “the Bush doctrine.”

Not since Richard Nixon had his finger on the nuclear button at the darkest hours of Watergate has the United States been so threatened by the errant ego of one man – George W. Bush.

It is Bush and he alone who we must now come together to face as a threat to all we believe in and all we will tolerate. It is Bush and he alone who must be the focus of our rage, our efforts, our commitment to peace and equity as “the role model for the free world.”

It is because of the way Bush and his “neo-con” cronies have hijacked the country and the Republican Party that you and your friends, neighbors and co-workers must support me – as a stalking horse for you, for truth, for the Constitution – for President in a head-on confrontation, as a Republican, with Bush, his failed policies and his lies.

This is not a traditional political campaign, nor can its aspirations be constrained to the parameters of politics. It is a social justice movement, led by a journalist and a core group of supporters who include the 88-year-old founder of Earth Day and The Minute for Peace (1963), John McConnell (www.earthsite.org), whose friends have included 39 Nobel laureates and former UN Secretary General U Thant.

Another of my key advisers is Mr. Enver Masud, founder and CEO of The Wisdom Fund (www.twf.org), a post-9/11 Muslim education foundation in Washington.

My grass-roots campaign includes Republicans, Democrats and Independents, and Christians, Muslims and Jews. My core support cuts across the entire political spectrum.

We must come together now with one voice, one mission, one tactic – to expose the sitting President of the United States as a liar who took the nation to war and sacrificed American lives to satisfy his corporate patrons like The Carlyle Group, for which ex-President George Herbert Walker Bush is a “paid adviser” making millions in profits from his traitorous dealings with the Saudi royal family – the world’s #1 supporters of state-sanctioned terrorism.



Will you help me bring to light – as journalist and Presidential candidate – the Bush family’s betrayal of their country? Will you help me expose the current President for what he is?



Why Should My Candidacy be Taken Seriously?



America is at a turning point, and our future will largely be determined by two issues:



1) What is to be the U.S.’s role in the world as the “only unopposed superpower?”

2) Will we choose to create an equitable society in “the global village”?



If those are indeed the considerations that will determine our national destiny, then I offer the only new ideas and detailed proposals for change – FROM EITHER PARTY.



My platform consists of three key points:



1) Breaking the corporate stranglehold on government and politics,

2) Ending the secret war profiteering by former government officials, and

3) Reforming the media to accomplish a better informed electorate



More detail on my positions is available at my Web site – www.johnbuchanan.org.

There will be more new ideas, fresh policy concepts, and position papers put forth in the days ahead.

PLEASE take the time to visit my site and make a contribution of at least $20. For those of you who can give more, please do so. For those of you who can contribute the maximum of $2,000, please do so.

We need every cent we can get to expose and defeat George W. Bush. The primary election cycle, against him head-on as a Republican, is the only way it can be done.

Please make a contribution right now and then send this message along to your personal e-mail address book and ask your friends, neighbors and peers to do the same.

Thank you, and please believe in miracles.

John Buchanan, Journalist & Investigative Reporter

Miami Beach, Florida

December 1, 2003



We also need Volunteers in New Hampshire, California and Florida.

Please call (305) 535-9606 or e-mail jtwg@bellsouth.net.

Thanks again for your support.

6. That's okay. It is an easy mistake to make BUT BUT BUT
This man is for real.

He wants to take Bush down a notch or two.

You MUST read his articles at

nhgazette.com

He really is very courageous and I worry for him.

But the fact is that the founder of Earth Day talked him into it.

And for that I support his effort to oust Bush in the repubklican primaries.

He needs our help to publicize this story.

11. Please believe in miracles...
I very much appreciate your support, sir. Please do all you can to rally others to my unique cause. I am running on behalf of all Americans, not just Republicans or myself. I am a journalist, NOT a politician, and I have but one thought: BUSH MUST GO.
Thanks.

12. Sir, can you run as an independent if you don't get the nom?
Edited on Mon Dec-01-03 05:44 PM by mzmolly
just curious as I know many Republians who are disturbed with the present administration but they wont vote Dem.

Thanks for running BTW! You also need to seek as much media attention as you can garner as I'm sure you know ;)

13. Thanks for your response...
The media is, unfortunately, the problem. I have been at war with the major media over the Bush-Nazi story for three months -- and lost. In their arrogance, they will not even hear me out or look at the documents.
As for a run as an independent, we are considering that, because my only goal is to 1) dog Bush with the facts, and 2) introduce genuinely new ideas about the future of this country into the overall debate.
My slogan for 2004 is ANYBODY BUT BUSH, which was my slogan in 200 when I voted for Gore and had my voting right stolen.
Please continue to let me know your thoughts.
AND PLEASE GO TO MY SITE AND MAKE A CONTRIBUTION.

17. Can you fix the link in your profile
your website has an extra space after // :
http:// www.johnbuchanan.org

Works right if you remove the space.
