Excerpt of Jesse Ventura's Speech in New Orleans, LA:
More of the same! As we have seen in both Republican and Democratic primaries, the establishment is in control! We need a president that is accountable to the people, not beholden to a party! Over the past few months while the two parties have been fighting amongst themselves I have been building a massive ground campaign for the presidency, relying on volunteers across the nation, now every state has a Ventura for President headquarters. Now today I come before you to announce my selection for Vice-President, former governor of this great state, Buddy Roemer!
Thank you Senator Ventura! Together our ticket is one of unity, one of the people's voice, one of consensus, of working for you, the American people. We are not dragged down by special interest groups, or parties, instead we are held responsible by the people we represent, and that is you! We must work hard, but our presence in this race will be known, and it will be known that we work for you! Run with us to take back the White House for the people!
