Lets vote for a vegetarian President and Vice President !!!

[Guest guest]

Please forward this message to everyone you know.

 

A miracle is in the making, but it can't happen without YOU!

 

Dr. John Hagelin is in position to be the first third party candidate

since Lincoln to claim the White House. Even if the polls don't show

it, the needed elements are all in place.

 

This past week Doug Friedline, Jesse Ventura's campaign manager,

jumped aboard the Hagelin/Goldhaber train. In his speech at the NLP

convention, Doug pointed out that three elements are necessary for a

successful campaign--right candidate, right message, and right timing.

 

In John Hagelin and Nat Goldhaber, we certainly have far and away

the best candidates. John is a world-renowned physicist who really

understands how things work. And Nat is an extremely successful

Silicon Valley entrepreneur who knows how business works and how to

create success.

 

Both men are also highly conscious souls who have practiced a powerful

meditation program for decades. If they can't lead America into

deep harmony with natural law, then no one can. And they have the

right message--that government should be about what works and not

about what is bought by special interest money.

 

Their message is reform--true reform in campaign finance, in

education, in criminal justice--in every area of national life. Only

a smidgeon of this message carried Ross Perot to 20 million votes in

'92 and nearly won John McCain the Republican nomination this

year. 

It is a message that America is ready for--the timing is certainly

right.

 

Many of us feel deeply that, sooner or later, John will be

President. But, it is becoming clear to the majority of Americans

that we cannot wait four more years for real reform. By then our

nation will be suffering severe consequences from decades of

unsustainable programs.

 

What was especially inspiring about the NLP convention is that the

message came out loud and clear that John and Nat are the leaders of a

coalition " movement. "

 

Jim Mangia and Russ Verney, leaders of the Reform Party, were there.

Lenora Fulani and Doug Friedline, leaders of the Independence Party,

were there. This is not about one political party. It is about all

reform-minded people coming together in one effort.

 

Moved by the idea of coalition, people who watched the convention on

C-Span have been calling to offer their support.

 

One such person, an elderly woman doctor in central Florida, said

that she had watched the whole convention three times. She couldn't

believe what she was seeing. Her first question for me was, " What's

the matter with Ralph Nader? Doesn't he see what's happening here and

how he can help the movement by throwing his support behind John and

Nat? " She went on to say that Nader looks tired, that he just doesn't

have the energy for the fight, and that his message is just not big

enough. She then asked what she could do over the internet and on

her phone to help. I suggested that she first communicate her

feelings to Ralph Nader. And then to everyone she knows.

 

We have two months to do the impossible.

 

We now have many dynamic and creative people on board and I'm sure

that major endorsements will be coming. Mailings are being sent to

all past Perot supporters inviting them to join us. Millions will be

alerted by a phone campaign. And John will be speaking at

universities all across the country.

 

But, it is going to require that we each do everything possible to

get the message out.

 

What can you do?

 

First, make sure that everyone you know in America is aware of John's

campaign. Refer them to John's website, www.hagelin.org

<http://www.hagelin.org> where they can view videos of John in

action, read our platform, and make contributions.

 

You can visit Joe Simonetta's website at www.votejoe.org

<http://www.votejoe.org>. Joe is our U.S. Senatorial candidate from

Florida who will be leading walks for campaign finance reform in

different cities every Saturday until the election. We need help

with those walks.

 

And hold the vision of John in the White House. If we each do all

that we can over the next two months, we will create a miracle. As

the experiences of Jesse Ventura and John McCain have taught us,

America is ready for new leadership. And even in a corrupt political

system it is possible for those with integrity to win.

 

America is literally dying for a true reformer with a unifying

message.

 

So, let's get going!

Further notes on the convention:

 

I was especially gratified by the fact that we had eighteen bright and

enthusiastic supporters from Florida at the convention, including

all four of our candidates. Four years ago, I was the only

representative from Florida.

 

Russ Verney, founding chair of the Reform Party, pointed out that

exit polls in '92 showed that if all Americans had voted their

conscience, rather than for the " lesser of evils " , Ross Perot would

have won that election. He also pointed out later that if we can just

bring integrity back to the political process through campaign

finance reform, then everything else will take care of itself.

 

Friday morning, which unfortunately was not covered by C-Span,

featured the following speakers: Christopher Flavin, acting President

of Worldwatch Institute, Steven Drucker, Executive Director of the

Alliance for Bio-Integrity, Harvey Karp, spokesperson for the

National Academy of Pediatrics, and Harold Bloomfield, psychiatrist

and best-selling author.

 

If every American had heard these talks, we would be assured of

John's victory in November.

 

Harvey Karp pointed out that George W. Bush's slogan " No child left

behind " to honestly reflect his actions, should be changed to " No

child--period. " He also noted that Bush's relationship to the

environment was something like that of the doctor to his

patient-----when the doctor's name is Kevorkian.

 

Harold Bloomfield reported that research has shown that those who

serve life are ten times as happy as those who live for self.

 

And I can't remember who the speaker was, but someone made the

remarkable comment that " the ark was built by amateurs while the

Titanic was built by professionals. "

 

These are just a few of the many memorable quotes from the convention.

 

Neale Donald Walsch gave a keynote speech on Friday night that also

was not covered by C-Span, but which all Americans should have heard.

It was a rousing call to spiritual expression through politics.

 

Lenora Fulani gave a deeply moving speech about coalition that was

covered by C-Span.

 

At Friday night's banquet, Paul Fuarso had the place rocking with

his new campaign song for John entitled " Rock On Dr. John. " By next

morning Zanna Feitler of Ohio had envisioned all the details of a

great rock video based upon that song. If it hits the airwaves

anything like she has envisioned, it could capture America's youth in

a day.
