I Have Zero Political Experience

Much has been said about experience this election season. But aren’t you sick of experienced politicians? I am. I am tired of people who have been bought and sold, who owe favors for favors received, who have been sullied by the process of rising through the political ranks, and who have compromised their values while violating individual rights at every turn. I don’t want leaders with a lot of political experience. I’ll trust an honest person with an honest job before an “experienced politician” any day of the week.

So here I am, an absolutely inexperienced politician, starting his campaign and public life at zero; zero political experience, zero financial backing, zero recognition. In fact, I’ll carry this zero theme a bit further. I’m not telling anyone I know about this campaign. No friends, no family, no coworkers. I’m only publishing a website, sending out a few press releases and emails, and commenting on a few blogs to get the ball rolling. We’ll keep it a secret between you (the internets) and me, until word of mouth takes it around the horn and my acquaintances start asking me about it. This will be an internet experiment to see if an honest and intelligent person can come out of nowhere and compete with established politicians on the national stage.

And now it’s your turn. If you have something to say, or have a question to ask, speak up by leaving a comment. The slate is clean and we should get to know each other…
