Joe ‘Almost Presidential Library’ scene<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s the evening of Dec. 31, and I’m in Joe Campaign Headquarters &<\/em> Almost Presidential Library<\/em>, as 2025 winds down. I’ve run in seven successive election cycles for U.S. President, primarily as an independent candidate. I have logged some 150,000 campaign miles during that time. What’s more, accumulatively, I’ve logged some 250,000 cross country miles doing research for my position papers. And I have, concurrently, spent many nights, late, doing a significant amount of reading to supplement the research. The positions<\/a>, in all their dimensions (and there are many) are tremendously solid — and where the country needs to go at this time. This last year, 2025, I have spent numerous hours enhancing these positions even more, while tying them into how they would influence contemporary affairs. (*See the 2025 blog entries, etc.) The path the country is currently on, is simply not sustainable. This isn’t political rhetoric, it’s just the truth. The path is not sustainable spiritually. It’s not sustainable environmentally. It’s not sustainable… well, in virtually every way. What’s in those position papers<\/a> is the answer. Period. My hope for 2026 is that people wake up to see that, before it is too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
