running for president. there will be other good people run too. you have already said it s not well known. but shows like yours and dylan s give us a chance to explain if you want another choice, you can get on buddyroemer.com or americanselect.org and see how to do this. it s open to every voter. you don t have to change parties. you don t pay a fee. you go through a little sign up operation that takes about five minutes. and you could pick a president free to lead. now other people who will run, and there will be plenty of people running, won t have my issue. they won t be reform candidates. and i will make my case across the country that we need a reform candidate before we can do budget reform, tax reform, immigration reform. we must do political reform. i think washington is bought and
the largest segment of the american population described themselves as independent. and it s the only segment of democratic republican independent. it s the only segment that s growing. and when i travel across america, which i ve done for the last year, listening to people, they have the same anxiety regardless of their party. they don t think washington s broken. they think it s bought. my contributions, for example, i don t take anything more than $100. i take no pac money. i never have. i ve been elected a congressman four time, governor of louisiana, no pac money. no super pac money. $100 or less. do you know my contributions are 30% democratic, 30% republican and 40% independent. that s a that s what i m appealing to. if you think we need to rebuild america, tax reform, budget reform, immigration reform,
