> What I'm urging all of you to do, if you are eligible to vote in the upcoming U.S. Presidential Election, is this: If you're fed up with the Democratic candidate and you're fed up with the Republican candidate, don't vote for "the lesser of two evils" and don't vote for the party you've always voted for, just because you've always voted for them. Vote for either Buchanan (if you lean conservatively) or Nader (if you're of a liberal bent). Bush or Gore is going to be the next American President. By voting for Buchanan or Nader, you're giving what amounts to the third and fourth parties more support. Next election, they'll be able to be stronger and actually give the American public some choice.

Buchanon isn't listed on the ballot in Oregon.

Frankly, many of his actions in the last few months are the opposite of what I'd want a conservative leader to be. Bush *does* match what I want, though.

I read the libertarian position statement in the voter's guide and found that I agreed with every statement on it. Still, it didn't list their position on drugs, which is to make them all legal. That is the main reason I wouldn't vote for them. The Constitutional Party sounded very ... constitutional. They want no government that is not provided for in the Constitution, and while I often think that would be nice, there are some bureaus it would be hard to do without.
