2012 Election Game: Campaign Thread

[Sec. of State Superique]

October 28th

White House announces new plans for National Security.
Patriot Act, Guantanamo, NSA and Bush Era Bills will be reviewed, reformed or scrapped. Senators Ron Wyden and Mark Udall were called to lead the move for reform.

Following the trends started by the Marijuana Decriminalization in the beginning of this year, the White House has announced major reforms on several issues concerning National Security and Individuals Liberties. Vice-Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton told reporters that they "were designing the reforms for a long time" but that they have just consolidated during October of this year. Many specialists told that this was an answer for the criticism of Ventura Campaign while Democratic Supporters diminished the matter. Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), who will lead with Senator Mark Udall (D-CO) the legislative initiative of National Security Reforms, told reporters that "Ventura and Paul advocacy was important to speed up the process but Obama had those plans in mind for a long time ago, much before the Campaign." The move has certainly surprised most voters but few know what effect will this have in the Campaign Trail.

Newspaper ad:

You know Ventura/Paul can win this election when the Obama team, and specially Joe Biden, mentions them more than Ayotte/Christie.

Democratic and Republican party leaders are afraid.

-Democrat strategists don't fear Ayotte. They can take back the Presidency in 4 or 8 years if she's elected.

-Republican strategists don't fear Obama. They can take back the Presidency in 4 or 8 years if he's reelected.



They have something in common: both of them fear Jesse Ventura. Because they know that once Ventura's elected, he will shake up things in America. He'll do what he promises. And GOP and democrat leaders will have to change in order to be credible ever again. That's not what they want, but that's what you were expecting for years.

They have reasons to be afraid. You have reasons to be hopeful.

Vote Ventura/Paul next November!

Seriously guys, that is it by now. Tomorrow, I can post Hillary. Are you willing to wait?

[Sec. of State Superique]

I hit on Ventura and Ayotte equally! God Bless!

[JerryArkansas]

Statement by Kelly at campaign event in North Carolina---
"What the Democrats fear is not Governor Ventura but the fact that almost 60% of this country will vote against them on election day.  We, as Republicans say bring it on and we welcome more false attacks, just so we can disprove them and get out our real message."

[Lumine]

Chris Christie on the final stretch:

"You can tell the White House is getting a little bit concerned about the results by now... I mean, am I the only one who realizes that this surprising national security reforms get announced the week before the election? This is the fourth or fifth time we see a public officer advocating for or against something, and right away the White House claims they had a plan for that all along. I'm sorry, but I find that very hard to believe. An Ayotte/Christie administration will tell you about things, that's for sure, and I deeply believe Americans will believe in our message and go to vote for the America they want and deserve.  Enough of half cooked solutions, enough of conspiracy theories, ladies and gentlemen. We're here to work for America, and nothing is going to stop us!"

Statement by Jesse Ventura on Obama Administration reforms



Every four years we always hear nice things from our politicians, don't we? I have reason to believe that they won't carry through with these changes in the end, even though they are good ones that were announced. Remember how our President said that Guantanamo Bay would be closed in the first year of his presidency? Or how the PATRIOT Act would be scrapped from the way it is now? Or how we would pull out of the Middle East instead of investing more resources into it? Let's be honest here, folks: Obama has been worse on these issues than even Bush, because he's accelerated the loss of our freedoms more than I can ever remember. Now suddenly his spin team is trying to pass off their guy as a warrior of liberty who's always wanted to do this? Please! You've had the last four years to prove that!

This does all mean one thing, though: we've been putting their feet by the fire and it's been working. Washington is now realizing that we, the American people, are still the boss in this country, not them. We were the ones who gave them their power by voting them in. Now we can vote them out! I see the attacks against me have only increased as the election nears. Unlike my Democratic and Republican opponents, I've always stood my ground and haven't flipped on my positions when it seemed convenient. I just speak the truth. And from what I see, this country is ready for a little more honesty from their leaders. I'm running so we can actually make some real changes, and not just engage in more cheap talk. Let's do it together.

[tmthforu94]

Results begin...tomorrow night? Sound good with everyone?

[PPT Spiral]

Fine with me, man. This whole election has been a doozy, I tell you what.

[PPT Spiral]

Emulating the innovative approach of the 2008 Obama campaign, the Ventura campaign has put a strong emphasis on building up its strength on the Internet and is seen as the most aggressive in its approach this election cycle. Profiles on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc. have directly kept in touch with supporters, where there are millions of followers combined. Q&A sessions with Governor Ventura have been done monthly on Reddit, which is a popular platform for online discussion. Social media has been an integral part of reaching out to potential voters, particularly younger people, where updates on the campaign trail have been regular and where the advertising has made a strong presence. The campaign has also collected a large list of potential voters that have been regularly emailed on developments and has also been tapped to help with the "moneybombs" that have been orchestrated throughout the campaign cycle.

Ventura's campaign website has created a detailed set of instructions in getting people to register to vote state by state and has been amassing data on which parts of the country are the most receptive to the ticket's message based on feedback from surveys, which has allowed the campaign to more directly allocate advertising to the most potent areas. Links have been made to different groups of Ventura supporters based on demographics (students, Hispanics, women, etc.) which have been working alongside the main campaign in bringing out their voters across the country, as well as promoting the message that Governor Ventura and Congressman Paul have been preaching to voters. Podcasts are made to highlight the inner workings of the campaign and to showcase Governor Ventura behind the scenes. In addition, the Governor sometimes publishes online videos of his thoughts of the election and of his plan for the country, which are also accessible through the official YouTube channel.

"In 1998, we were praised for utilizing the Internet the most effectively out of any of the candidates for Governor," said Ventura campaign chair Dean Barkley. "In 2012, we ought to keep up with the times and make advancements again, because it's crucial to reach out to people however you can, since you can't make stops in every part of the country."

[PPT Spiral]

Jesse holds no punches!



In one of the last speeches of the campaign, Governor Ventura makes the following remarks:

We're so close to the election. We're so close I can taste it. And this election has certainly been a hectic one, I'll tell you. Cris-crossing across the country, you see a lot of people who are pessimistic and upset, because they can't tolerate the lies coming to them from the top anymore. Our elected officials, who supposedly hold our best interests in regard, have sold out time and time again, and instead of being first on their list of priorities, the American people are maybe third or fourth behind whoever is richer and more powerful than us. It's not a partisan issue, either, because both of the two big parties have been complicit in messing up our country. How much of a damn do you think they really care about the average Joe? From what I see, not much.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: I'm running to win, and I'm in this fight until the very end. If I come crashing down once the results are in, very well, but everyone will know that I've never been a quitter. Something incredible has been happening, though: I'm surging everywhere in the polls! The message has been getting out tremendously and all signs point to a very competitive showing this week. It's true: I am a threat to the Democrats and Republicans. I'm a threat because I don't stand for what they stand for and I'm a big presence now, and they sure don't like that. Notice how they've been namedropping Congressman Paul and I more frequently than ever now, to spook voters away from us--especially President Obama, who apparently is really afraid of losing his job now. They don't like how I'm in double digits and only rising. Maybe they should stop and think of why an insurgent like me has been getting so much traction, though. Could it be that the incumbents have failed the American people? This concerned citizen thinks so.

The Democrats and Republicans may spin you a tale of lies, but don't buy into it, people. They say that I'll absolutely trash public welfare, bankrupt the economy, leave us vulnerable to terrorism at home, and all of this other nonsense. They're desperate enough to say anything so that they can peel voters away from me and back to their camp. Let's look at the record here, though. Under 150 years of Republican and Democrat stewardship, what do we have right now? We're trillions of dollars in debt, we're falling behind in education and technology, we're losing troops to a battle that has only created more enemies for us, we're stripping away the Bill of Rights by the day, and I could go on and on, but you know how bad it is already.

Am I angry about all of this? You bet I am. That's the reason why I'm running: because I see injustices everywhere I turn in this country and I know we can go on a better path. Instead of endless partisan bickering in public and secret handshaking in private, let's have an open and honest government that actually listens to the concerns of the people who brought them into office. Instead of promising the moon, let's be reasonable with what we spend our tax dollars on, and let's not maintain this immoral debt that is only a burden to our children and grandchildren. Instead of realizing George Orwell's worst nightmares, let's respect the Constitution and have a system that values individual liberties and won't intrude on its own people for no good reason.

These shouldn't be issues where you're split between Democrat and Republican. We should all come together and agree to foster good relations with our neighbors and with our allies. No matter what the politicians or the talking heads tell you, we're not just red and blue states; we're the United States of America. And I know that together we can have better days ahead once more. I waged a long-shot campaign in the state of Minnesota, and nobody gave me a chance at all at first. I proved them all wrong and shocked the world. Why don't we shock the world again?

[Sec. of State Superique]

I don't know if I'll be able to post with Hillary, if I do so, it shall be concise and resolute. I'm tired of listening to all this bunch of Thatcherism covered with the personal liberties issue and idealistic libertarianism. I'll try to post at the end of today, in case I fail to do so, the Election shall start...



Hope you guys don't mind waiting a little bit more!

"When I ran for President in 1992, I won in this county. Sherman County, TX, rejected republicans and democrats.

I know you are voting for liberty again. I know a majority of citizens in Sherman County will be voting for Jesse Ventura. But this time I think he's winning more than the 4 counties I won here in Texas in 1992. Jesse Ventura's running mate is from this state and he's running a better campaign than I ran 20 years ago, to be honest.

Not only he's an approachable, honest man. His platform is the best out there. He has a plan to reduce the debt... Remember when I ran on that issue in the '90s? Well, you have seen how the debt has only increased and increased. Only Ventura can stop that. Republicans and democrats have been elected since I started talking about the debt. And instead of fixing the problem, they've based their Presidencies on increasing it.

It's not too late, however, to change that. I am sure Jesse Ventura will take my advice. And, believe me, it'll be better not only for us, but also for the following generations, to have a more balanced budget and less debt today.

That's only one of the thousand reasons we have for choosing Ventura instead of Obama and Ayotte! Ventura/Paul is a sure win here in Sherman. Help us make sure they will take many other counties and states!"

"It was an historic day for theindependent cause when I finished 2nd in Utah, just over Bill Clinton. But it will be nothing compared to what will be happening next week. I was the 2nd placer in Utah and Maine. It'll be bad news for us when we finish in the 2nd place in states like these two. Because, this time, we aren't running in order to spread a message. We are running to win and make our messages become a real thing.

I have a lot of faith on the intelligence of the Utahn electorate. Some people may say we have to write off you because you are voting for the republican ticket no matter what. But... know what? That's just FALSE. Jesse Ventura has sent me here for a reason: he believes we can take the state. It may be close, it may be tough, but it's possible.

I'm talking to those who don't vote here because they think republicans are winning for sure. I'm talking to those independents who vote republican because "that's what people do here". I'm talking to those republicans who think their party has betrayed them. And yes, I am talking to those democrats who think Ventura is better than Ayotte. Obama isn't winning here, we all know that. But Ventura has been rising in polls since he started his Presidential campaign. He can win in Utah. Believe me!"

"Oh, it's nice to be back here after so many years... Utah has some of the most beautiful landscapes in the USA. Bellieve me, I've been in every U.S. state and it's very difficult to find something even similar to this.

When we talk about environment, people suddenly think you are a democrat or a liberal. That's just wrong. When I talk about environment, I talk about protecting places like these. We just can't afford this being completely transformed. But what we can't do either is stopping economic growth because some people are unwilling to alter some landscapes a little bit. I am talking about the Pipeline and drilling, yes. I don't think it's impossible to take care of our environment and American jobs and self-sufficiency on energy at the same time. We just need innovative people in the Government, new policies, new ways of thinking... We've done many things that looked more difficult than this one. We are the country who sent the man to the Moon and became the 1st economy of the World in less than 100 years. Don't be misled by democrats and republicans: environment and progress can go together!

And that's what Jesse Ventura thinks, too. So, yes, the Ventura/Paul ticket is the one we have to vote for... Didn't you know that yet?!"

"Remember this graphic?

I was the only one talking about balancing the budget in the '90s. Only one of our candidates won in those years... It was Jesse Ventura! He was the only one talking about it in Minnesota, and... Yes! He managed to balance the budget when he was Governor.

Now, the problem is way bigger than it was 20 years ago. We are in the middle of a financial crisis and President Obama still doesn't want to balance the budget. It's a common-sense solution to many of our problems, but Obama, and Bush and Clinton before him, have kept ignoring it.

I have a question for you, Americans: do you spend more than you earn every damn month? I'm sure the answer is: NO! Well, this is the only sane answer if you don't want to go bankrupt. Maybe you didn't know this, but our Government has been spending more and more every year. Our debt goes millions up every second. But, as I said some days ago, we can still stop this by electing Ventura to the Presidency. Think about it before you cast your vote. You'll realize that you can only vote Ventura/Paul if you want future generations to have a better life than you had!"

"When they talk about "how Montana loves liberty and enjoys voting for mavericks and people who have new ideas"... Well, all I have to say is that I got 26% of the vote here! Ventura not only CAN get more than that, he WILL. 26% is an outstanding result for someone without party labels... But I believe many people that didn't vote for me then, and the sons and daughters of these people, can feel confortable when they go to the polls and give their vote to Jesse Ventura.
He's a man with common sense solutions. You've been listening to his speeches when the media realized he was a factor in this race! I and you know he's the most popular candidate. I know a big majority of Americans share his beliefs. So the question now is: can we win here and in other states if only half of those people who like him and his ideas vote for him? I am sure we can.

Ventura/Paul is the only correct answer for today's problems. Give them a chance with your vote!"

"You have seen this newspaper cover many times...

If I have this with me today it's because the media is writting Ventura off like they did with Harry Truman 64 years ago. But don't be deluded. Ventura has a chance. He may not be the media's darling like Dewey was back then, but he's the man people like. And that's all that matters.

I kept talking about how I was going to be the Truman of 1992. I was wrong, but in the very crux of my heart I knew I wasn't going to win. However, this time we have a different situation. While I lost votes from Summer until November, Ventura has seen a positive trend since he started running. The last public poll had him getting 17% of the vote. It's been almost two weeks since that poll was released. If we've won 1% per day since then, Ventura's getting 1/3 of the votes. Fortunately, I believe 1% of the vote each day is less than we've actually won over. Don't be surprised if Ventura wins where you think he wouldn't. And be part of the winning team, the overperforming team.

Vote Ventura/Paul!"

Hola, amigos hispanos.

Soy Jesse Ventura y me presento a las elecciones presidenciales de noviembre.

Sé que muchos de ustedes son nuevos en este país, que están acostumbrados a oír que solo se habla de los republicanos o de los demócratas.

Pero estas elecciones, tenemos un panorama distinto. Yo, Jesse Ventura, que he sido gobernador de Minnesota por 4 años, quiero ser su Presidente. Sé que muchos de ustedes han votado a los demócratas en pasadas elecciones. Pero sé que ustedes están cansados de ser utilizados por uno u otro partido, para ganar sus votos e inmediatamente después desatender sus demandas.

Quiero que sepan que conmigo las cosas cambiarán, que yo les respeto y les prometo los mismos derechos que cualquier ciudadano cuya familia ha vivido en Estados Unidos durante generaciones. Porque sé que ustedes han trabajado duro para venir aquí. Ese espíritu del trabajo duro lo quiero en mi equipo. Yo les garantizo además una nueva política de inmigración más abierta hacia los hispanos que ya residen aquí. Por favor, confíen en mí. Yo no soy un político como los que acostumbran a ver por televisión. Voten con el corazón, pero también con la cabeza, y descubrirán que la mejor opción es...

Jesse Ventura/ Ron Paul 2012!!

Solo queda un día para las elecciones y nunca las elecciones estuvieron tan reñidas. Quien gane estas elecciones probablemente lo haga con mucho menos del 40%.

Ustedes saben tan bien como yo, a estas alturas, que Jesse Ventura es el único que ofrece innovación y nuevas ideas para gobernar los Estados Unidos de América. Es el único que propone un cambio total en la administración, el único que ha dicho siempre lo que piensa sin importarle los lobbies. Y sí, es el que más se ha preocupado por nuestra cada vez mayor población hispanohablante.

Confíen en Jesse Ventura. Él es diferente. Él nunca les traicionará ni les usará con fines electorales. Los dos grandes partidos temen que ustedes descubran que ésto es así, pero no se engañen: es la única opción que les ayudará a conseguir el Sueño Americano!

Ayotte surrogates:

With Election Day here, some GOP members come out in full force to support Ayotte/Christie. The surprise? All of them former rivals!

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Mitch Daniels:

"Ayotte can and will handle the deficit:"

"Wow, it seems I've been out of the spotlight for quite a while. I have come today to try and convince you to vote for Kelly Ayotte, who is truly the best candidate in this Presidential field. As you know, I ran in the primaries trying to get this country to acknowledge the need for deficit reduction, and I'm proud to say the GOP ticket is the one who can solve the fiscal crisis and save our economy. The Obama/Clinton spending and spending won't work, and the Ventura/Paul approach is too radical to work. Only Kelly Ayotte and Chris Christie know how to solve this issue, so if you're concerned with fiscal responsbility as well, don't doubt it, vote for Kelly Ayotte!"

Kay Bailey Hutchinson:

"It's time for a female president in America!"

"I'm proud to support Senator Ayotte, ladies! She has the vision that America needs right now, and she knows the importance of a strong foreign policy, of caring about families and the middle class, of achieving the simple reforms we need to solve this crisis and that we have advocated for so long. I deeply respect Hillary Clinton, but I would rather have Kelly Ayotte as the first female President of this great nation. You can trust me when I say that she is a great woman, and she will be an excellent President. We have to break that glass celling, and this is our chance to do that. Not with old faces or all male tickets, she is the woman who can make history, and America deserves a female president once and for all!"

Mike Huckabee:

"Conservatives: Ayotte is the way to go!"

"I know, many of you have seen Jesse Ventura and Congressman Paul as a legitimate choice for independents, and perhaps many of you will vote for him. But I would humbly advise you not to. Kelly Ayotte and Chris Christie are good and principled candidates, and they share our beliefs, they believe conservatism can do great things for America, and they are ready to win. Governor Ventura is too socially liberal for my taste, and let's face it, for all the talk of an efficient government he wouldn't be able to govern as efficiently as Ayotte woud do with our upcoming majority in the House and the Senate! This is the chance we've been looking for, Republicans, this is our historic moment of triumph! Let's get out there and give America a true President! Let us go in full force to back Kelly Ayotte!

Jon Huntsman:

"Ayotte/Christie: For a new and better America!"

"Four years ago, Barack Obama ran as the candidate of hope, and his charisma proved overwhelming. We heard promises of change in politics, of reforms, of a solution to most of our problems. Four years later, we are still waiting for hope, and I say it's enough waiting for the American people. You can't simply blame everything in George Bush, not after four years and failing to accomplish anything with a massive majority in the Senate and Congress. No, ladies and gentlemen, Ayotte and Christie are the true candidates of hope, and they can deliver their promises. Let's put an end to poorly done October Surprises, let's put an end to empty promises, let us elect true fighters and get them in the White House! For a better America, a newer America, a country that will finally stand up and recover what we lost. For the future, here we go!"

Hillary Clinton: I heard that Christie is saying that I have a dream of having a woman in the White House. Yes, for sure, I do want that women hold important roles in America but just because Ayotte is a woman it doesn't mean that I support her bid for the Presidency. The issue here is that, much more than having a woman as President, I want to have the right woman in the White House. Ayotte has done too few for us on this country! She is not at our side in individual's choice, she is not at our side in equal pay and she is not in our side in a series of Obama initiatives that are improving women's life. Women that are promoting stances against other women, that's definitely something that I won't support. We can have many women as Presidents; Ayotte is not one of them. Next!

Bill Clinton: There are some guys, whose names I prefer to keep in secret, that are supporting that horrid and flawed idea that Mr. Obama has been worse than Bush when it comes to the issue of civil liberties. Excuse me sirs, but this is just a bunch of Malarkey.  Four years ago, our country was leaving a dark age of human rights. Now, scientific research is freer than ever, stem cell research was finally allowed and not a single conservative demagogy interrupts our search for the truth! Guantanamo is being phased out, Don't Ask Don't Tell is over and Torture is no longer a policy of government. Moreover, new reforms are coming up and Obama is taking the first steps for the decriminalization of marijuana, immigration reform and gay marriage. If that is not an improvement in our freedoms from the Bush years, then I don't know what is this!

Hillary Clinton: I swear that I won't talk about Mr. Ventura anymore after this past time but I feel that it's my responsibility to tell the electorate my concerns with that man and his beliefs. Mr. Ventura is certainly a libertarian and he has been campaigning on a platform of social libertarianism because that is the sole way he will get big margins of voting. That would be OK but there is a greater reason why I'm concerned with Ventura. The thing is that he is courting the progressive electorate to turn out for him while not giving any specifics on how he is going to deal with our social security and our welfare system!

Take a look at Ron Paul, Ventura's running mate, he opposes Medicare, he opposes Medicaid, he opposes everything when it comes to social expenditures in government. There is nothing when Ventura speaks that show me that he thinks differently from Ron Paul. Jesse and our Representative from Texas have the same intention, they want to return to the nineteenth century and see American hitting new records of income inequality, bad standards of living and low paid jobs. That's definitely not the way to go and it surprises me a lot when we see so many responsible leaders, such as Budd Roemer and Ross Perrot, endorsing policy lunacy in the White House.

Bill Clinton: The speech that Obama has taken here in Pennsylvania a few days ago was so beautiful. What a great message. During this week, we've shown to the American people the Party that is really concerned with them. As the President outlined, the Democrats are the ones that are concerned with responsible development, a development that makes advances in the economy, in the social area and in environmental issues. That's the aim of our Party during the next four years: High Growth, High Standards of Living and High Environmental Protection!

The time is coming my friends. Each day, the sun rises and shines stronger in America. The Obama Administration had had faced some problems but we acknowledged that with respect and now we are improving consistently and steadily. Change doesn't happen in one hour, one week, one year, nor in four years, it takes longer and that's why we need your help. Each day that passes, I've seen this nation changing for better: I see change when I walk throughout this country seeing thousands of jobs saved; I see change when the Affordable Care Act is already having effects helping thousands of Americans, I see change when we rethink our War on Drugs, I see change when our human rights are strengthened, I see change when America is safer and, more importantly, I see change when we are creating each month that passes more jobs. Change comes in many ways, some of it is perhaps difficult to notice, but all of them are valuable! We can't take Change for granted; I won't take it, will you?

This November 6th, you have to vote with your hearts, with faith and with trust that we are delivering and that we can finish to deliver the change that we promised to you in 2009.  Thank you very much, see you in the Voting Booth!

Thank you guys, now let's fly to Chicago!

Sherrod Brown (Barnstorm Ohio)

The People of Ohio have their Candidate It's Barack Obama.

When we see the results of the stimulus and the automobile industries bail out, despite all critics, we realize that definitely it was the right way to go. Making everything go bankrupt, like many Republicans and Libertarians called for, would be more costly for the Federal Budget then helping workers anyway. President Obama followed the right path and, more importantly, while he understands fiscal responsibility, he is also a very compassionate man. I meet with the President very frequently and I know that Obama is concerned with every American citizen and, obviously, with every Ohioan as well. We do have our candidate, our man is Barack Obama and our Vice-President is Hillary Clinton. We can't take change for granted, let's keep up moving forward!

Mark Warner (Barnstorm in Virginia)

Don't be fooled by Ayotte and Ventura. Let's keep changing America!

Obama understands the importance of Fiscal Responsibility but he won't cut everything without being careful. That happens because  he has something unique that the other candidates don't have: his absolute compassion for the American people, his devotion for his job and his understanding of the social scenario of this nation. I don't think that Ayotte and Ventura are monsters but I can't say that they understand our people's situation as Obama knows. Obama won't cut our entitlement programs, our Social Security and other social programs without a clear idea of the effects that this might have, without prioritizing efficiency gains at first and without the notion that we ought to respect every single American citizen, including the most disadvantage of our nation. Obama respects the people and we won't find that on the other candidates. I respect Obama strongly because Obama is fighting for us in the White House and that's why I'm giving my vote for him in November 6th.

Obama, Biden, Brown (CA), Bill and Hillary, Brown (OH) and Warner gave their opinions. I'm fine to finish this!

If you want a radical new path for this country that will tackle America’s greatest problems head on, then Jesse Ventura is the only choice this November. 1992 was just the beginning. Let’s make 2012 one to remember.  –Ross Perot (I-TX)

This election I’m throwing my support behind Governor Ventura, a good man. I know that he has never appeased the corporate powers that be in his time in politics, and he’ll continue to fight against big business’s stranglehold over the government as President. We all must unite behind the ticket that truly serves the people. –Ralph Nader (I-CT)

I ran for President this year to make a stand against the influence of big money in politics. Now I’m proudly standing behind Governor Ventura and Congressman Paul, who will fight for the little guy every day in office.  –Buddy Roemer (R-LA)

This year, you have the chance to elect independents that will lead America to a better path. Jesse and Ron got my vote, and I hope they get yours as well. –Angus King (I-ME)

I eagerly cast my ballot for the Ventura/Paul ticket earlier, both very good friends of mine and defenders of liberty. They need your help this election, to beat the two-party system and to restore our freedoms! –Gary Johnson (L-NM)

There’s only one real choice for President this year, and that’s Jesse Ventura. Let’s give the Governor a hell of a showing! –Penn Jillette (L-NV)

My father ran in 1964 on a platform of expanding liberty across the land. While that battle wasn’t won, we are winning the war, and we’ll be giving it our all this battle with a new man, and that man is Jesse Ventura. –Barry Goldwater, Jr. (R-AZ)

As a constitutional lawyer, I know just how bad our liberties have been tarnished over the years. I see only one ticket that has been standing up and speaking up despite everything thrown against them, and that’s why I’m supporting Ventura and Paul this year. –Rocky Anderson (D-UT)

Election Day Video from Governor Ventura



Greetings, my friends! The election is upon us now, as it's the magic day: November 6!

I want to thank all of the people who have worked so hard for this campaign. We've seen a tremendous surge of support across the country compared to when I first announced I was running, and the momentum is on our side in this battle. We're making the Republicans and Democrats run wild and act like chickens with their heads cut off. They're that scared of us. So, we must be doing something right here!

Now comes the greatest test. For all of you out there who support my message, I need each and every one of you to vote. We must all be counted and every vote really does matter here. My campaign has been working 24/7 to bring out the vote all across the nation, but it's ultimately up to you to show up and make sure that you'll be counted as one of the millions of Americans who won't stand for the two-party dictatorship anymore.

The attacks have been amplified as the election has drawn nearer, and my opponents decided to boycott the last debate because they wouldn't dare go up against me one last time. That should tell you something about my strength. Make no mistake, we'll be a huge force this election. This night will be one to remember. I just need to count on your support.

The two parties are scared for good reason. Here's our time to shine!

The video has been posted on the front page of the campaign website, as well as the official YouTube channel. It has also been emailed to supporters.

The timeline is officially locked! No more posts will be accepted!!!

I will begin posting the results tomorrow. Please bear with me, I want to create it suspenseful but also don't want you guys to have to sit around for days in anticipation. I would say expect the final results to be available on Wednesday at some point.
