First off strategy, this is a write in campaign. The official position of the
powers that be is that I don't exist. The Democrats and Republicans aren't worried
about some fictional person, who threw
a rock concert for campaign fund raising. For the most part the mainstream media,
continues to ignore me, but I have had some coverage both radio and newsprint. College
papers seem to like me and I have been getting op/eds printed around the country.
In the past few years or so thousands of people have looked me straight in the
eye and said the same words. "I know you can count on one vote!". In the
past three years I have received and fielded well over 5000 email letters, most were
supporters or friendly banters. At least a couple hundred thousand
people have seen me speak in the past 20 years.
Sure I realize that not all
these people are going to bother to vote, much less take the extra time to do a write
in vote. After all they tell you a vote for anything other than Republicrats is a
wasted vote. Then there is this guy named Jesse
Ventura or is there?
I would be willing to bet that each person who has
met me or heard me speak, has told four or five people about me. My web site is straight
forward and open 24 / 7. Instant responses to most any question on the record. The
web traffic is what really amazes me, I receive letters from all walks of life from
homeless people to governing officials, teenagers and grandmothers, from old hippies
and punk rockers, from Libertarians, Greens, and even pissed off Democrats. What
if every person who has had a loved one thrown into jail or drug off to war or killed
in a ridiculous war on drugs, what if they voted for me? What if? What if all those
pissed off people decided to just go ahead and throw away their vote, in protest
of the whole stinking system. The same system that has been telling them that their
vote, their opinions, their beliefs don't count in this democracy. So what if, what
if? Best case scenario? 5%, maybe 10 % of the popular vote? Maybe carry a state?
What would that accomplish? What if 60 million pissed off Americans decided enough is enough.
This campaign will not be battered by the polling monsters or the media, this campaign will not be judged by a multi-million dollar propaganda war. This campaign will remain mostly un-noticed until November 8th, when the election commissions count those millions and millions of write in votes and when the headlines will read Who is Ronald Gascon? On that day this campaign and the electorate's faith in the status quo will be tested, So join the revolution. Register to vote and then do it, simple process, the founding fathers way of saying, you do count. and Write in Ronald E. Gascon for U.S. President
