My intent

A government based on fear is not what I want. A government which is owned and operated by banksters, wall street racketeers and other scum is not what we want. A government of by and for 1% is not serving the people who produce the goods, fight the wars and try to just get by from day to day. So what can we do?

I don't know about the rest of you but this is what I am going to do. I am going to take my 16 heart attacks and stand up to the local political machine.I am going to take my two open heart surgeries and ask the people who has more heart, a paid off political hack or me. I am going to take my five times on the other side of death to demand change in our local, state and federal government. A change long over due. I am going to demand people start acting as stewards of the Earth instead of conquers. I am going to demand government listen to the needs of people instead of some idiot who's only reason is sheer greed. i am going to take on Presidents and political parties who are all owned and operated by the same few people. I am going to ask people to help me, advise me, support me and cheer me on.

Today without reservations, with no money except my Social Security check and Navy retirement, with no political organization to speak of, with no platform except to listen all the people to the best of my ability. With the ultimate goal of making this nation not a armed invader of the rest of the world but a nation all of us can prosper in and be proud of. A leader not in war on the poor, but a leader in standing for peace with all. Not by my self but withthe help from Christians who believe in living as Christ taught. Not by myself but with help from people who don't know if their is a god or not, but believe we can make this Earth better for our efforts. With the help of people tired of working twelve to sixteen hours a day, not to get ahead but just to stay even. With the help of teachers who put up with low pay, disparagement from the political hacks, and having to buy supplies out of their own pocket.  With the help of those living on just Social Security or disability chek, who don't even know if the food will last to the end of the month. With the help of the of the thousands of disabled Vets who have to beg the government  to get any help.

Today I stand up and say the hell with the Republicrat and the Democran same o same o party. I Robert N. (Bob) Smith am starting a campaign for Green Parties nomination and then to capture the seat of Tennessee's first Congressional District. I don't know everything, but a lot of wisdom resides in the people who I ask to support me. With them helping me to make bottom up government work, we will overthrow the Washington, Nashville or county and city strangleholds on our government and return power to all of us.

Anyone who agrees get a hold of me with your ideas, support and small ($250 max) donations. Give me a place to talk to your family and friends and above all sign up as Green Party and support me in what I am trying to do.  If you are younger, brighter and more able then I, stand up in my place, I will support you.

Thank's
Robert N. (Bob) Smith USN Ret. and Peacemaker
