BUSH OR KERRY?

There are basically two options in the War on Terrorism. Bush and Kerry represent one option and most of the thirds represent the other. There are basically two options on constitutional rights. Bush and Kerry represent one and most of the thirds represent the other. There are basically two options regarding the American economy, socialism and eternal debt. Bush and Kerry represent one and most of the thirds represent the other. The more votes the thirds get, the less authority Bush or Kerry will have. We thirds are certainly not going to be heard if we don't vote our beliefs.

I'm voting for Charles Jay for President. I refuse to vote from fear. I have nic-named the PC Party Smiley face,
"Hope" from the Mormon song, "When dark clouds of trouble hang over us, and threaten our peace to destroy, there is Hope smiling brightly before us, and we know that deliverance is nigh."

Ken

KEN'S STATEMENT!

I have been very busy attending events to which I have been invited. In fact, last Thursday, at Murray High, I was the only candidate who received cheers along with applause after my speech. Both of my fellow gubernatorial candidates were absent and represented by stand-ins. I don't have any stand-ins. For us thirds it's a Catch-22. You don't get coverage unless you are well-known and you aren't well-known unless you get coverage. My campaign would look a lot different if it weren't sponsored virtually from my own pocket. That's another Catch-22. You don't get donations unless you have a chance of winning and you don't have a chance of winning unless you get donations. I've put thousands of dollars of my own money into the effort to get on the ballot and run my campaign. I had a Personal Choice Party booth at the State Fair for which I paid myself. I'm doing what I can. I hope the Internet can level the playing field for us little people with big principles. I might be a political success if I were to run as a Republican or a Democrat, but I could not live with myself knowing that because of me someone had voted for Bush or Kerry.

For example, Rod Decker will host a Main Street debate between Huntsman and Matheson on October 18th at 6:30 PM. I have not been invited. Dan Harrie can say I don't attend, but he should also mention that I don't get invited. Unlike Badnarik and Cobb, I have no plans to crash someone else's event. Nor do I expect the same coverage as the more popular candidates. I may not be elected, but I "win" every time someone "gets" the personal choice concept. I've seen enough "conversions" to consider my campaign a tremendous victory.

Ken

I want to help build a new political party with new answers. I want the Personal Choice Party to retain ballot status and quickly grow to the party in power in Utah, across America, and then across the world. The Internet is a political tool we must not ignore.

The "lesser of evils" con game is cheating you out of your personal choices. Imagine before the crucifixion of Christ that two criminals had been presented before the people along with Christ. Imagine you knew Christ had no chance of winning. Would you have voted for the lesser of evils then? Why do it now? As long as you play the lesser of evils game, you lose.

KEN LARSEN CAMPAIGN

Ken Larsen, Utah Gubernatorial candidate, is requesting information about establishments where people sympathetic to the victims of the drug war are likely to see and read a flyer he would like to distribute. His flyer is about his promise to end the drug war in Utah within 24 hours of taking office as Governor. He is thinking of two distribution times, once near the end of August, and again in the middle of October. His request is for a list of all stores and hang-out places between Payson and Ogden, especially Salt Lake County, where such flyers would be effective. He believes the anti-drug war crowd is at least 20% of the eligible voters and is hoping to give them a reason to register and vote this year. If you have such information available, including addresses if you know them, please send to:
  kencan@personalchoice.org


Thank You!
