Jesse Ventura Campaign Announcement, Saint Paul, Minnesota
“Hello there, St. Paul!
I would like to thank all of you for coming out here and hearing what I have to say. I would also like to thank the people of Brooklyn Park for electing me all those years ago as mayor, starting my political career. I would also like to thank the people of Minnesota for allowing me to serve the great office of the Governorship.
Now, I would like to go back in time to the date of November 3rd, 1998, the date when the great state of Minnesota chose me to be her Governor, when just weeks and weeks back, I was being called a spoiler, a joke, a man who could never make the way from wrestler to politician. The night that I won, I made a speech in which I outlined that I hoped my victory would encourage the Democrats and the Republicans to become less partisan. It doesn’t seem like the two parties picked this up. In fact, it seems like they saw what I said, and ran away from it at top speed.
Over the last couple of years, as the Reform party died, and it became very clear that there would not be a new American third party to change our corrupt two-party system, the people became dissatisfied. Our options have been between two awful candidates, and little option of another choice. Washington has become less able to work together, and more partisan, with the Democrats spitting in the face of the Republicans, and vice versa. And after taking a good long look at all of the major party candidates, I’m feeling pretty sad about the future of this country.
So, after a long month of talking with family, friends, and allies, I have decided to give another choice for America. I announce my candidacy for President of the United States as an Independent candidate. It is time that we show the Political Machine that change needs to be done, and not any fake change that has been promised in the pass, I mean real change. Change such as a bigger role for third parties by changing our system to an instant runoff electoral system, returning any budget surplus to American Citizens, ending the war on drugs, and getting America back on track! I’m Jessie Ventura, and I’m running on real change.
