This is what I have been wanting.
http://www.occupytheballot.org/
I just want to see an anti-corruption, pro-redistribution, pro-actual economic growth, pro-environment candidate (or some approximation thereof) run. And all these people more respectable than I am don't bother. So, if no one else runs, I guess I may as well.
Also, I think we need loud public advocacy for actual public goods.
So, should I call up my friends in the local Democratic Party and give them each the line, "Either you run, or I do it, and EMBARRASS US ALL."?
Anyway, I need a job too. If I ran for Senate, could I pay myself a living stipend out of donations? Probably a bad plan.
I have done Get Out the Vote before, but that's it. We lost 70-30, total hopeless case, no publicity. I suspect flyers and phones make little difference.
