I'm running for the President of the United States. One of the reasons I'm doing that because I feel the values of most of these people who are running for office, they have the Liberal Agenda or they wishy washy like Mitt Zombie. My name is Bob Green. I'm running in the New Hampshire Primary for President on a comprehensive energy plan: good for a thousand years and then some. It's based on thorium. My name is Fred Carter. I'm running for President as an Independent Republican. I've been in the political process for about 35 years, always behind the scenes. This is my first time as a candidate. My name is Michael Meehan. I'm the twenty- third name down on the Republican ticket here in New Hampshire. And I've, been here for two months now, 60 days, traveling up and down the state. There's gonna be a race for one America. Russia is planning an attack on America. Thorium is cheap, safe and we have abundant supply in the United States. As the first openly gay candidate, I'm, I'm running to make history, and to send a message to anyone who happens to be gay, or lesbian, or bisexual, or transgender, you can do anything you want in this country, you can even run for President. Somebody had to take time off from work. They had to leave their job, their family and, and they had to come out, and, and, and, spend time with the people going over, and over and over huh. Whose gonna be able to do something like that? And I had to do it, I had to do it. I'm running as a moderate who's pro choice, who's pro gay marriage, who wants us out of the war in Afghanistan, and I think that message is important if we're going to bring younger people in the party. We need to moderate our message and open up the flaps of this tent and let everyone into the Republican party. Somebody's got to believe, what if, what if an unknown like me can come out number five. Thank you.
