Bob, you have been running your campaign now for a while- you have 9 signatures last time i checked, ever wondered why? The internet is a place of assumed anonymity- people don't have to be who they are in real life when in a forum or chat room- for all people know you could be Charles Manson. I presume you are canvassing your local neighborhood for signatures? If you are then imagine the response you would get if you showed up wearing a balaclava and asking for their signature- thats the response you will get on the internet. You need to put a face to your campaign.
On your website you state, bold as you like, that you still take drugs. You just lost a large selection of the voting public right there, most parents wouldn't put a pot smoker in the whitehouse or indeed in number 10 Downing street, the ruling place of my own country (which in the past has housed all sorts of deviants and miscreants).
You let us know you have a poor memory *ALARM BELLS* "I did not have sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky", that this was caused by you aforementioned drug taking *OMG he used to be a junkie*, so in your opinion your country needs a pot smoking ex-junkie with a crappy memory in the white house.
Appearances matter, you just painted a breif outline of yourself for people to fill in- Pot smoking ex-junky who has a crappy memory but can ramble on about anything to any tom dick and harry about anything under the sun but what matters.
De-criminalise narcotics to save money so you can help narcotics vitims. you just increased your drugs problem a million times worse than it is today. That is unless you plan to limit the amount of narcotics the users can buy- in which case you get 1000's of injured shop workers who got beaten up for refusing a junkie another hit- That would also be unconstitutional as well wouldnt it, you would be denying them their right to polute their own bodys. I'm pro drugs by the way- some drugs are theraputic, i don't agree with mass legalisations of narcotics but i do think some drugs should be legalised- I can say this out loud, I am not running for presidancy nor Premiership.
National security and your troop dispositions. Don't you agree that the only way for their to be *World Peace* is to ensure that the unrest in the middle east, asia and the africa's end? How else is that peace going to be brought about peacefully if not for peace keeprs? You are one of the most powerfull nations on the planet- don't you think you should use some of that power to help guide and protect some of the rest of the world to become stable? If we, the English were to be attacked by China (Not going to happen but it's a good enough example) would you be reluctant to send us troops to aid us because it's not your war? I should hope you would but your policys don't seem to make that position clear.
What are you really in this for? A bet? The expected donations through PayPal? I just can't believe that you have thought this campaign through, or you are strongly deluded.
Never the less, i wish you all the best- No flame intended
