They have a lot of problems to work out before a vote. I talked with someone today in Washington that said it might not be until after the election. Both sides want to deal with it at the same time they don't. More pressure put on them by the public faster the process.

Try candidates or party web sites.

My husband got his foot in the door by stating his stance on the issues by writing letters to the editor of our local paper.  He was approached by a political party to run for Congress in a newly apportioned district with no incumbent.  He ended up losing, but he got his name out there and that's what counts. Be ready for skeletons to be dragged out of your closet, and for people in your own party to sabotage your campaign....it will happen!!!

Surely you have a few ideas considering you were elected in the first place. Someone must think your up for the job. Just be you and the ideas will come flowing out

Let everyone know that in order to maintain a society that is orderly and law abiding, we should all participate in an election. It's important that we research candidates and laws prior to an election so that we know what we want. We have to make ourselves heard. Every vote counts!

Very good and very idealistic question. One gets to local seats of power by commanding money. You come up with it yourself. No money, no job. Used to be we had political machines, not much of that anymore. Money is king when you have to buy TV time and yard signs. \n\nAfter that, it gets worse. You have to become a senator or governor to get any chance of becoming a Presidential candidate. Look at the pathways to those power posts. \n\nSorry, it has not been possible that I know of since maybe Harry Truman (and even then he had a powerful Kansas City political machine that got him tapped as VP).\n\nNot much equality there. No real people. What is it that Doug Addams said in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Oh, "the job of the president is to distract us from who really runs things." That's right.

Of the three candidates who has a website listing in the list of nominations, none of them state if they are a member of a polticial party. My only advice would be to contact all of the candidates and ask if they have ever been, are or if elected intend to take the GOP, Dem, Green, Constituition, Libertarian whip or are they pure Independents?

Very perceptive grasshopper.  It is ridiculous, I think that Politics makes me nuts.  It goes all the way down to local government.  It is almost as soon as they get into office they forget about all the people and only care for the few. I hate to get started, you never know who's tapping into your conversations anymore: in the name of security we lose our voice.  You gotta say they have some slick moves.

You must look for great candidates that are running for office against those who are doing the work of the people.  I think that this is going to happen in 2006.  There are a lot of just regular folks running for office.  They have taken no money from corporations for their campaigns and therefore they owe no one their support.  Look at the voting record of some of these guys/gals that have been in office and that will tell you whether they are there for the people or for self.

Sometimes the requirements differ depending on the office.  Most offices will require you to submit some type of application and pay a fee.  You may need to pay a fee to cover the costs of printing your biography in the ballot pamphlet.  Some offices might also require you to submit a petition with a certain number of signatures.  You may need to run in a primary election if you are running for a partisan office.  You should check with local registrar of voters or other local election officials for more information.\n\nIn terms of conducting your campaing, be sure to study local campaigns.  There are plenty of people who are willing to sell their services.  You can buy campaign signs, solicit donations, knock on doors, do phone banking and all sorts of things depending on how much support you have.

lesser of two evils. It would help if better candiates actually ran for office. But unfortunately you have to be a compulsive liar to get the job.

well it depends on your candidates... just search for them in yahoo or google, and usually the first link you will see is there website... explore them and you will find a section on Issues.

Maybe the answer to your question is that all the honest people who would do a very good job don't have the funds to run for any political office.\nThe ones with the money have more then likely bought their way up the political ladder and with so much money to back them they also can't be trusted but are still in office.\nIf and when you ever do find this person that you are looking for please let me know so I can join in on trying to get him/her elected, okay.\nPersonally this task may take you into the 22nd century and beyond but good luck in your search anyway.

The only problem with it is that Condi doesn't have the political backing in the party to pull it off.  Why put up a candidate that doesn't have a chance?  Great premise though.  Let me know when the book comes out.
