Tell pollsters what you really think

I don't know about you, but pollsters never call me.

If they did, they would get an earful.

When they asked whether I support John McCain or Barack Obama for president, I would proudly proclaim: "neither – none of the above."

If you get a call from a pollster between now and Nov. 4, I hope you will consider this healthy alternative to business as usual.

And, even more importantly, I hope you will mean it – and vote for your favorite third-party candidate or write in someone not on the ballot.

I am serious when I tell you this is the most patriotic vote you can cast this year.

I'm so serious, I have written a book called "None of the Above." I didn't do it to make money. If you want to make money on a book, you don't write one that will be outdated Nov. 5. You don't give yourself a time window of only four months to make sales. And you don't target a market of Americans probably limited to no more than 10 percent to 20 percent of the public.

But that's what I did.

I did it because I am serious about this campaign.

I did it because I want to awaken Americans who are sleepwalking politically.

I did it because I think this is the year for a quiet political revolution to take place.

Everywhere I turn, people are upset with the choices before them.

I have not met more than a handful of people who are actually excited about one of the two major-party candidates.

That tells me there is a chance for a political earthquake in the making. All we have to do is persuade 10 percent to 20 percent of Americans it's OK not to vote for one of the two major-party candidates.

It isn't wasting your vote to dissent. It is wasting your vote to give it away so easily and mindlessly to one of two candidates totally undeserving of our support.

We need to create a market for better politicians.

How do you create a market for better politicians?

By raising your standards.

If politicians can get your vote by simply being less objectionable than the other guy, you are never going to see great leaders again in America.

Raise your standards.

How long can we go on voting for the lesser of two evils?

How much evil can we stand?

I really hope you will give my book a chance. It's hard to make the complicated case for a political revolution in a column or two. I needed 65,000 words to do it. I think you will find "None of the Above" persuasive.

I want to make it not only socially acceptable not to vote for McCain or Obama, I want to persuade people it is the right thing to do, the moral choice, the best thing for the future of America.

If you order your copy today from WND's online store, we will send you at no extra charge, a personally autographed copy and a "None of the Above" magnetized bumper sticker which you can display if I win you over.

This is the year. Mark my words. Don't follow the lemmings. Think for yourself. Cast a truly independent vote this year.
