I have it from people who have known and worked for RP for years that essentially Kent Snyder talked RP into running in order to build a movement and to get the message out. They succeeded. However.....
None of us who began working for the campaign as early as a year ago knew this, and thought we were in a real campaign for the Presidency. Many devoted hundreds of hours, gave money they really didn't have, quit their jobs, sold their homes, etc. only to find out later they were working for something they may not have worked as hard for otherwise. Many of us in this campaign effort have been around long enough to have seen similar "movement building" efforts succeed for awhile, shoot to brilliance for a season, and then fade.
Can we now go ahead and run a real bid to take the Presidency on behalf of those folks who gave so much? An Indy run that takes in a high profile VP like a Bob Barr could get the endorsement of all the third parties and "unite the clans" so to speak. That is how we build a movement.
Going after the Rockefeller controlled Republican Party has become an exercise in total futility despite our many successes. We MUST build a coalition of parties and rally around candidates who truly believe they can and will win---unless you believe we have 10-20 years left as a free country.
I think we may have a lot, lot less than that.
It is now or never. Are you ready for a real revolution??
