perhaps true...but he did say if he gets on the ballot in all 50 states,
that he would run. He went back on the ballot shortly after he was
on in all 50 states. Some people object to him hiring people to circulate
petitions - so what? That doesn't force ANYONE to sign the petition.

WHAT? NOT TRUE! - again, become an INFORMED voter and read his book.
He lays out the issues CLEARLY and CONCISELY in his book. You will
see that for yourself IF you read the book.

I generally am a Republican but I wished to be very informed before 
the election. That why I watched the conventions and got copies of all 
the platforms. This way I can have the facts in front of me so that I can 
make an INFORMED decision.

Regarding Perot - I was neutral on him until I read his book. Thats what
swayed me and might sway you IF you read the book.

Perhaps he wishes to just recover the costs of printing and distributing
the book.

BTW, He is spending $Millions$ to get his message out - how does that differ
from giving his book out? I prefer he spend his own money so he is not
so beholden to the special interests, like Clinton and Bush.

Good for you - does this mean you have read all viewpoints and then
decided on Clinton/Gore? If so, GOOD for you. If not, SHAME on you.

They are a mess here as well in NJ - They are a mess nationwide as well.
By any measure!

Whats your opinion of Congress and
1-How they have ravaged the economy with all the spending bills?
2-How they exempt themselves from laws they impose on us?
3-The many scandals that pop up?
No wonder that recent polls show that most Americans simply don't trust
Congress, don't feel they are honest.

Imagine if all Americans chose not to be familiar with candidates for office
and just picked one for whatever 'gut' reason they had. What a nightmare that
would be!

Re: Clinton- I like Bill Clinton but don't like his overall approach of
    a more activist government with vague comments on how it will be
    paid for. Having suffered greatly through my Democratic Governor (Florio),
    I am hesitant to trust another one, i.e. Clinton. In addition, I prefer
    a less active government.
Re: Bush- far too many regulations went in under Bush. And the debt zoomed
    out of sight under Bush. Its now 4.1 $$$$$TRILLION$$$$$
Re: Marrou- really good ideas but we must get the debt under control first.
    I may yet vote Libertarian in the next election.
re: Perot- good concise plan, no sugar-coating. Lays out the issues
    and addresses each in turn. No easy medicine but it seems FAIR.

I have seen all four candidates talk on TV and have read all their
party's platforms and Clinton's PUTTING PEOPLE FIRST plan. Did you 
reject Perot without studying his plan carefully? Sounds like you were 
not objective. 

>>If not, you are NOT an informed voter.
>Thats your opinion...
>>I have read all four platforms and decided on Perot.
>You Perot people just might re-elect what we are all trying to unelect,
>think about it on the Nov. 3.

Its CLEAR you haven't studied Perot's plan - Read the book - it won't kill 
you. You will likely agree with many points he makes in the book. 
At least, you can make a more informed choice when you vote. Isn't that
what we want from ALL Americans - an informed voter? I'm doing my part,
what about you?
