CEO, Jr.
A City Council run is a lot more suitable for someone with no financing and no political experience. You can door knock and talk to people, which makes up a lot for not having any publicity.
Its also going to be very important in a peak oil world to have people addressing local problems on a local level. That's who makes transit decisions, recycling the trash decisions and all the infrastructure that will help us all power down
Bob Ebersole
A friend went all the way to try to get elected as State Governor in the last election and got 6,000 votes or so. I am running for the Higher office because of the current crop starting so soon to run for an Office that is voted on up to 2 years away from when they announced. Call it "in Spite of the fact I won't make that much of a showing". But really I have about 20 local folks that will vote for me because they know I stand behind what I say and if I am wrong about something I will take the heat and go on about getting the messages out that are on my agenda.
Knowing about a problem like Peak Oil, Climate Chaos, Or homelessness is only 10% of the problem finding solutions is the big part. The city I want to run in is not the city I live in, We over here have a good mayor. I know the Mayor over in Little Rock, he has shown up at several Homeless Venues lately. Jessie Goodrum is the fire brand that I help. She is the real power behind the movement, While God is the ultimate power over all things, He set her to this task and has given her the voice to do it. I just run the Internet protion, And do foot work, and offer networking via my always on Cell Phone and my abilities to plan and Map vast amounts of Data.
But thanks for the advice, I might have time to run for Emperor of the Empire of USA in 2012, If someone gets that far into the thick of things like some are saying.
Best, Charles.

CEO Jr., I wish you luck with your campaign and I believe that you would try to do 'the right thing.'...But, TPTB will not allow you or anyone to come between them and their goals. They will do what ever is necessary to stop you... Whatever is necessary. TPTB had no qualms about eliminating two high profile Kennedy brothers so what makes you think that they would hesitate to eliminate you should you become a 'problem' for them? Perhaps you are a brave person or one that thinks that they have lived a full life and are ready to retire from the living?
I agree with OilManBob...Run for city council or the school board or some local office. Remember, all politics are local and that will become more evident as this ludicrous federal government becomes less relevant as each day passes. Good luck, whatever you decide.
Thanks for the comments.
Full steam ahead though. Call me crazy if you like. I have sat in the back of a police handcuffed before, not prison time, but nothing much scares me. Locally the police know my name I work with the Homeless.
