Reply #8: I hope he does something really different and runs a nearly no $$$ campaign.

No millions to the war profiteering corporate news monopolies--those bad actors--for cheap, shitty campaign hairdo ads and hit pieces.

No PR firms.

No consultants.

No focus groups.

No bullshit.

Just announce. Everybody knows who he is. Take whatever free venues there are. If others want to put on concerts, etc., fine. But he spends not one day fundraising.

Pay the fees for filing. Pay for travel and phones, and a couple of aides. Drive electric vehicles. Economize. Minimal paper. No bumper stickers or signs. Some other greener token. Green ribbons maybe (made of recycled paper or hemp cloth!).

A real campaign. Give speeches. He's turned into a magnificent speaker. Let the people speak back. It will spread like a wildfire--the passion for reality, real politics, real discussion, a real president. It will put all the other politicians to shame--or inspire them, depending on who they are.

I've been longing for this for more than twenty years--for someone who could do this. And Al Gore can. He has the name recognition. And it's an idea whose time has come.
