Please only forward to like minded people.

The millions of US citizens who rely on blatantly biased media as their only source of current affairs, are not like minded and I do not want their vote. They offend me more than the FOX TV actors who claim to be journalists. For over 6 years Fox News and other for-profit "news" media, have shamelessly endorsed every unjust action this corrupt administration commits as righteous. These ignorant viewers who faithfully watch this blatant propaganda, believe every word is fact because the word "News" follows the word Fox. CNN is not much better.

"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. "

Martin Luther King, Jr.



With hope, PBS & NPR will embrace this grassroots movement. Every US citizen has free access to these two national not-for-profit journalistic media formats and my campaign is all about not-for-profit endeavors, fairness and honesty.

If we as a nation, ever hope to break free of the political stranglehold 2-3% of the population now enjoy, we must start electing representatives that represent the ideals and lifestyles of the rest of us. PBS & NPR can do just that.

In 2008 an independent will likely not win the presidential election, but we could force sincere promises from the "winner" that will not be forgotten by those who vote in 2008.

I can easily keep my 10 promises from day one until my term of office ends.

The "No child left behind" promise, that swayed the 2000 campaign, has been turned into a profitable multimillion dollar testing program that provides answers we already know, doubly penalizes the poor and lower middle class for living in school districts with a low tax base and has left millions of children further behind than than they would have been without Presidential intervention. I cannot fix this or the plethora of other injustices that the ruling class selfishly & intolerantly impose on the less fortunate. But a Congress that listens to the concerns of their constituents, could. Our youth are our greatest resourse and the ones that need the most support to become productive adults, are receiving the least.

If every politician embraced PBS & NPR there would be no need for them to spend over one half of every day selling promises to the wealthiest for the funds needed to pay for prime time during their re-elections. Instead, they could spend their entire time in office supporting the constituents and the nation they represent. Democrats and Republicans are gearing up for a >1 Billion Dollar bid for the Presidency in 2008. Whoever is elected will be indebted to the biggest contributors to their campaign.

I will only be indebted to the citizens of this nation.

A teacher asks her class, "If there are 5 birds sitting on a fence and you shoot one of them, how many will be left?" She calls on little Johnny.

"None, they all fly away with the first gunshot."

The teacher replies, "The correct answer is 4, but I like your thinking."

Then Little Johnny says, "I have a question for YOU. There are three women sitting on a bench having ice cream. One is delicately licking the sides of the triple scoop of ice cream. The second is gobbling down the top and sucking the cone. The third is biting off the top of the ice cream. Which one is married?"

The teacher, blushing a great deal, replies, "Well I suppose the one that's gobbled down the top and sucked the cone."

"The correct answer is the one with the wedding ring on... but I like your thinking."

If you like my thinking:

E-Mail artifactjackforpresident@yahoo.com with "Yea" or "Nay" in the subject line.

When I receive 1000 yea's from 1000 different people, I will take the next step.
