The Purpose of This Blog

There is a misconception about this blog that I must address immediately.  The last thing I want to happen is for people to ruin their lives because they misinterpret the reason why I have been blogging about my campaign for the last two years.

The purpose of this blog is NOT to demonstrate that anybody can run for President of the United States.  In fact, I am hoping that people would be discouraged from running for President.  I am not just talking about the average person.  I am including those who the media thinks can run for President like Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, and Barack Obama.

The only reason why I am running for President is because there are issues that Americans care about that today’s politicians are not addressing.  Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats are talking about the high price of entertainment.  I haven’t heard anybody talk about making Vanna White’s birthday a national holiday.  They are more concerned with what President Obama offered Congressman Joe Sestak than the issues affecting Americans.

The truth is that I am not running for President because I want to.  I am running because I have to.  If there is somebody who  feels the way I do and can get as many votes as I plan to get in 2012, then I will step down and let him or her run.

Running for president takes a lot of time, commitment, dedication, and sacrifice.  It is not for most Americans.  I have missed out on my daughter’s last two birthdays.  Money that could be spent on a new car, home improvements, or a Starbucks coffee is being spent on campaigning.  I sometimes go days at a time when I cannot watch “Wheel of Fortune.”  It is a tough grind, especially when your opponents’ supporters harass you and your supporters.

If you are thinking about running for President, please think about what I have just mentioned before deciding to run.  You’ll save yourself a lot of frustration and disappointment.
