SALT LAKE CITY — Rocky Anderson says he is 99 percent sure he will run for president of the United States — and starting a new political party.

The outspoken former Salt Lake City mayor announced his likely bid for president Tuesday night on his Facebook page. He also asked for suggestions on what to name a new political party, asking readers to vote before Wednesday morning.

According to that Facebook account, Anderson said the party will stand for "greater economic equality, an end to wars of aggression, aggressive action on climate protection, and an end to corporate control of government."

Anderson says he plans on using social media and other Internet tools to help get his message out and compete against candidates who are spending millions of dollars.
