I’m presenting you with an email I received today that basically lists all the “other” party candidates running for president. I don’t really want to post a lot about the presidential race or general politics because I feel some major disconnect from top tier politics. But, this is a response from someone who was advising someone else on whether or not they should vote for Ralph Nader because they believe in democracy and that a bipartisan system is not actually democratic.

Here is the email response:

Well, why Nader than.  There are several other political parties which you can vote for if your reason is only democracy.  If you ask me, Nader is the best choice of these third party candidates, but there are others who are out there.  Voting for any of them would show your steadfast belief in democracy.  Here are the main third party candidates (meaning they are on the ballots in enough states to possibly win enough votes in the Electoral College):

Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution party: http://www.baldwin08.com/
Bob Barr of the Libertarian Party: http://www.bobbarr2008.com/splash/?s0820
Cynthia McKinney of the Green Party: http://www.votetruth08.com/
Ralph Nader Independent or Peace Party: http://www.votenader.org/

But if you really want to prove a point you may want to vote for one of these candidates:

Gene Amondson of the Prohibition Party (yeah that prohibition): http://www.geneamondson.com/prohibition-party-2004.html

Roger Calero of the Socialist Workers Party: http://www.themilitant.com/2008/ElectionCampaign/platform.html

Charles Jay of the Boston Tea Party: http://www.cj08.com/

Alan Keyes an Independent (who ran for Republican and Constitution Party, but failed):http://www.alankeyes.com/

Gloria La Riva of the Socialism & Liberation Party: http://www.pslweb.org/site/PageServer?pagename=votepsl_home

Brian Moore of the Socialist Party: http://votesocialist2008.org/

Thomas Stevens of the Objectivist Party: http://objectivistparty.us/

Ted Weill of the Reform Party: http://www.reformpartyusa.org/

So there you go. I know this is a lot if you want a summary of this stuff you can go to:

But I would recommend taking a little bit of time to immerse yourself in these websites.
