Buddy Roemer For President
Buddy Roemer, former congressman and Governor of Louisiana, officially announced his entry into the 2012 Presidential Race. He plans to run a campaign free of Lobbyist, PAC and high dollar contributors. Roemer pledges to only accept $100 contributions. He has taken a moderate, common sense stand on many issues that affect most Americans. The enormous amount of money that politicians collect in the form of large campaign contributions buys an extraordinary amount of influence. Roemer's pledge to only take small contributions will free him from the influences of Corporations, Special Interest Groups and PAC's. Opensecrets.org, a website dedicated to disclosing the influence money is buying in Washington, reports that 2012 is no different. Almost $100 million has been raised by the candidates already campaigning for the 2012 Presidential Race. Will Buddy Roemer have enough money to even make the ballet in Iowa? Will this approach work? I would like to find out what you think?
