levels of power as the Senate. Things he has said and stood up against have proven time and time agains to seem prophetic, but not really. It's sensible analysis that isn't tweaked or tainted by powerful interests that corrupt our politicians today.

We would be stupid as Americans to lose this person as President when this country so drastically needs a voice, a champion of the average American who has been, for the most part, shut out of the policy process that makes all of America better.
