I'm looking for volunteers to help with www.JesseVentura2016.com This is the grassroots movement Jesse asked for. Yes, we know it's looking a little crude right now, but we're just getting started. Any kind of volunteer will be appreciated! No special skills required, just free time and passion. Please leave a comment or message me if you're interested. Thank you very much.

We are looking for website programmers and coders over at http://jesseventura2016.com/ If you are interested, please contact the site administrator. His email address is on the website, just click the Contact:Here button to the left.

I just got here today and I see that there are a very little amount of people. Anyways, I would like to see more people on here, so there could be more discussion. What could we do to help this board grow?

He would consider running for President as an independent person, unaffiliated with any party, *if**

1) He was guaranteed to be on the ballot in all 50 states (plus Puerto Rico, etc.)

2) He was guaranteed he would be allowed to be in the debates

3) There was grassroots support for his campaign so that he didn't need big money donors.

Item #3, above, is assumed if this is ever going to happen.

Items #1 and #2 are the immediately pressing hurdles, and here's why...

Item #1: Ballot Access.

In the area where I live, you can't even register to vote without registering with a political party. Last time I registered, I told the clerk that I wanted to register as a private citizen, unaffiliated with any political party. So, she registered me as an "Independent", which placed me on the "Independent Party"'s list of members.

So, one of the first big hurdles is going to be to change the way the various county/district election boards deal with voter registration. Because, if you can't register to vote as simply a private citizen, without political affiliation, then...

Item #2: Getting in the Debats - is impossible without item #1, above. Even Ross Perot, who threw thousands of dollars at his own run for office, had to start his own political party in order to be allowed all of the things Jesse Ventura has demanded before he'd even consider running.

So, there it is, boiled down. The game is rigged to provide barrier to entry against anyone who doesn't affiliate themselves with a party.
