I ran for office as the Lt Governor of Texas on the Reform Party ticket. A one meeting I gave a speech wearing a suit completely covered with fake dollar bills. Photographers all scrambled to get as many photographs as possible. I was making a statement with that money suit. The Reform Party was for strong campaign finance reform to end the revolving door of political prostitutes going to Washington. If people voted for third parties more often it would force the two corrupt major parties to be more honest and to actually represent the will of the people.
BTW #1: I also worked with other third parties like the Green Party. In Texas, there is a two party monopoly which makes it almost impossible for third party/independent people to run for office. The two major parties have rigged the ballot access laws to ensure they can keep control over the process. All the best...
BTW #2: I still have my 'money suit'! If I ever go to Washington DC I think I'd wear it everywhere. I would certainly blend in with all the other whores...
