Bill McGaughey for President in 2004

Bill McGaughey aspired to help bring "freedom and democracy" to this country. His candidacy showed that the average citizen can run for President in the United States of America and get a fair number of votes if he (or she) has something to say. By an Orwellian twist, however, the chair of the so-called "Democratic" National Committee, Terence McAuliffe, decided not to allow McGaughey's name to appear on the South Carolina ballot though he had paid the filing fee and otherwise qualified. So McGaughey focused his efforts on Louisiana.

Regarding freedom, one of the greatest impediments to free speech is "political correctness", sternly enforced by the power elite. In a previous campaign in Minnesota McGaughey stood up to this intimidation and found that the state's largest newspaper imposed a complete news blackout of his campaign. In Louisiana, he decided to push economic issues. His position was that so-called "free trade" requires workers in high-cost economies to compete head-on against workers in low-cost economies.

If the leaders of the U.S. government really cared about our people, they would protect the nation's economy with tariffs while working to lower costs in such areas as education, law, and health care. So it falls to outsiders such as McGaughey to propose such measures. Ultimately, he thinks that the global economy must move to shorter work hours to provide full employment in productive enterprise to the billions of people who need material sustenance and to keep environmental degradation to a minimum.

Again, check out http://www.goldparty.org for an idealized model of a political party that might gain power in today's money-driven environment.

Bill and Lian McGaughey live in a neighborhood just west of downtown Minneapolis and have a daughter, Celia, who attends college at St. Olaf in Northfield, Minnesota.

Bill is running for President to address the long-term crisis in jobs. Additionally, he believes that the political scene has become excessively polarized with liberals and conservatives barely talking to each other. We have become an angry people.

Part of this has to do with efforts to muzzle free speech and enforce "politically correct" opinion. Refusing to be intimidated, Bill McGaughey is speaking out forthrightly on matters of gender and race. He is speaking out on the situation in Iraq. Through open, honest, thoughtful, multi-sided discussion and the courage to follow through, our nation can solve its problems.

Bill announced his candidacy for President in June. He calls this a "campaign from the back of the bus" - a good place for people to sit down together and shoot the political breeze in the time they have together.

This platform is an outgrowth of issues that Bill successfully raised in 2002 as a candidate for U.S. Senate in the (Minnesota) Independence Party primary: support for a 32-hour workweek and dignity for white males.. This translates into a new honesty in discussions of gender and race and a domestic and foreign policy which puts a priority on providing full employment in an environmentally sustainable way. Bill would back off from accepting further military responsibilities. He respects President Bush personally while disagreeing with most of the Bush Administration policies.

As you can see, the McGaughey campaign aims not only to win the White House but to change the political landscape.

He calls this a "campaign from the back of the bus" - a good place for people to sit down together and shoot the political breeze in the time they have together. Bill embraces "the politics of two ends": (1) an end to class warfare, especially practiced by the rich against poor people, and (2) an end to the politics of gender and race.
