President Obama has not brought about the change I was hoping for and the Republicans running for President do not advocate changes I favor.  Therefore, I have decided to seek the Green Party of the United States Presidential Nomination.

I was a member of the working class for all the years I was employed .  It is the working class perspective I hope to bring to this race.  I do not want the Green Party to be the party of a small group of left wing  intellectuals.  I want to represent people who shop at Walmart as well as Macy's.  I want to represent working people such as teachers, factory workers, farmers, government employees, health care workers,  etc... 

There are many problems facing our country and to solve them will require some sacrifices from most of us.  Yes, we need to tax people who earn more than $250.000 a year more and people earning more than a million even more.  We may even need to ask people who are earning less than $50,000 a year to pay some additional taxes.  This extra tax revenue is needed to provide jobs, educational opportunities, and health care.

The Green Party needs to present Green alternatives to the policies of the Republicans and Democrats in power.  I hope to do this. 

I need support to continue this campaign.  If you would like me to continue this campaign, please send me an email expressing your support.

Sincerely,

Harley Mikkelson
