It’s election time in the USA again, and this year you should vote for Nobody. I’m Nobody, and I’m not running this year – but you should wish I was.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n I want to introduce myself. You don\u2019t know me, but you have often wished you did. I don\u2019t belong to a political party. I don\u2019t owe allegiance to any country. I\u2019m not patriotic but I\u2019m not antipatriotic. I don\u2019t belong to any country; I don\u2019t owe Anyone anything. And I\u2019m a qualified candidate; I can run for any office, in any country, state, province, county, city, town, or village.<\/span><\/p>\n I am qualified to run for president, prime minister, governor, congress, parliament, your mayor \u2013 you name the office, I\u2019m qualified.<\/span><\/p>\n The next time you vote for a candidate you really don\u2019t want or like- but want and like better than the alternative candidates, you\u2019ll think about me. I know you will. Or I know you should.<\/span><\/p>\n But you won\u2019t find me on the ballot anywhere, but I should be on the ballot everywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m nobody but I want to be your candidate.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m the candidate that gives you, for once, a real choice. And if I win, you win. If I lose, you lose. It\u2019s a WIN-WIN you see.<\/span><\/p>\n Now imagine that I was on your ballot. You had three others on the ballot besides me. You really don\u2019t like any of the others, but one belongs to your preferred political party, but she\u2019s not a real choice \u2013 just the lesser of three evils.<\/span><\/p>\n Here, let me give you an example. Here\u2019s your ballot.<\/span><\/p>\n Patty Peasoup (R)<\/span> Really? Do you really want any of those folks? Do you? Put me on the ballot and you might get somebody you can feel good about voting for.<\/span><\/p>\n Patty Peasoup (R)<\/span> Now, if Patty, Maggie, and Clifton don\u2019t excite you, you have a choice. You can vote for Nobody \u2013 that\u2019s me. And if Nobody wins, the parties must come up with new candidates and you get to vote all over again for SOMEBODY you really want. If Nobody (that\u2019s me!) wins again, then the political parties better produce candidates you really feel good about because Nobody will win until Somebody wins.<\/span><\/p>\n And when somebody wins it will be somebody you really want, not someone who was elected because they were the lesser of all the available evils and you didn\u2019t have a real choice.<\/span><\/p>\n You should make sure that I am on the ballot everywhere, for every office, and for every election.<\/span><\/p>\n I am your candidate of choice when you don\u2019t really have a choice.<\/span><\/p>\n And if you don\u2019t listen to Nobody \u2013 that\u2019s me \u2013 then the next time you vote, you can\u2019t blame me if you don\u2019t have Nobody to vote for.<\/span><\/p>\n Only you can put Nobody on the ballot. You can demand that Nobody is on the ballot everywhere, every election, every time. If you don\u2019t, you may never get Somebody you really want to vote for.<\/span><\/p>\n Make sure that Nobody is on every ballot everywhere for every election.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m qualified for every office from the prime minister, to the president, to the governor, to the mayor, to the sheriff. I am qualified and ready to run in any country for any office. I can run anywhere \u2013 in any country, state, province, or territory. I can run in any city, town, or village.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m Nobody. Don\u2019t you think I should be on the ballot everywhere?<\/span><\/p>\n When you vote for Nobody, you have a much better chance you will finally get Somebody you really want to vote for.<\/span><\/p>\n But I cannot do it by myself. I\u2019m just Nobody. Only you can make sure that I,\u00a0 Nobody, is on all your ballots in every election, every time. And because it\u2019s your vote, I know you want it to count.\u00a0 And the only way that is ever going to happen is if Nobody is on the ballot in every election.<\/span><\/p>\n Remember this, my friends\u2026 Only when Nobody is on the ballot can you be certain you\u2019ll always have Somebody you really want to vote for.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m Nobody and you don\u2019t know me, but I\u2019m quite certain you\u2019ll wish you did. Think of me the next time you vote for a candidate you don\u2019t really want or like, only because you like the other candidates even less.<\/span><\/p>\n Make sure I\u2019m on your ballot and vote for me \u2013 Nobody \u2013 until Somebody you really want comes along.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m Nobody and you may never get somebody to vote for until you vote for me.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m Nobody and You Should Vote for Me It’s election time in the USA again, and this year you should vote for Nobody.

If you ever found yourself voting for the lesser of two evils, and I know you have, I\u2019m your candidate. I don\u2019t need your money. I\u2019m not taking campaign donations, I don\u2019t need a party affiliation, but I\u2019m your candidate.<\/span><\/p>\n
