SUBJECT: GOALS FOR PEROT
Folks: I'm astonished! Ross Perot spent most of his time on
"Larry King Live" on CNN about a week ago explaining what it
would take to get him to run, and what he thought needed to
be done if he were to be given the chance. If you didn't see
it, you should bug your local TV station, or contact CNN, to
get a video of the discussion - it was most thought- provok-
ing, and made a supporter out of me! Jim B in OKC
SUBJECT: PEROT RUNNING?
You're right. We need to knock Congress on its ear. I will
vote for anyone that makes sense. I don't care what party
they belong to. Actually, I'd prefer independents that won't
sacrafice their own values and good judgment for the sake of
pleasing the party, or, go along with the party line. There
is too much energy spent on keeping or gaining power for a
party. >>
When I worked for Mr. Perot, he made it clear that he hated
office politics. He used to say "If it makes sense, DO IT!
If you see a snake, KILL IT!"
We need people in Congress that are willing to kill snakes
rather than those that are will sell out their values to the
power of their party.
Why don't you run?
Regards, David

dale, I am a EDS worker and I agree that "Uncle Ross" as we
call him would be a great choice to ran this country.Write
him in .

EXCELLENT IDEA DAVE, I'M HAVING "PEROT FOR PRESIDENT"
BANNERS MADE TODAY & SHALL TAKE THEM TO ANY CLINTON OR BUSH
APPEARANCES IN MY AREA (PHILA)
Clark: I wasn't aware that there was any movement afoot to
draft Ross. The very thought of that little bantam rooster
in the White House and taking on the old entrenched
politicos is so pleasing that it makes me laugh outloud. I
did hear that Ross favored Tsonga's economic plan over the
others. I'm supporting Tsongas but if Ross gets in there,
I'll smile and re-think the whole matter. Paul in Iowa
SUBJECT: ABOUT ROSS PEROT
George,
Wish I could help more, but I know very little. He
opposed the Gulf war, said our number one resourse "Our
children " should not be wasted in a war over oil. Also said
that he would use his own money for getting elected.
I too would like to learn more about him! Mike in CA
SUBJECT: ABOUT ROSS PEROT
Anyone who saw Ross Perot on the 8 AM 3/22 C SPAN interview
(it will be repeated there..) knows that HE is a serious
candidate IF WE ARE serious. Only if WE the PEOPLE get him
on the ballot in all 50 states within the allotted time
frame in each state - only then will he run. He will run
hard! Wants no money except for $5 from each person. His top
priority is JOBS so that people can be self sufficient and
proud of their work. He will name a VP almost immediatley -
"someone more qualified" than he is, not "an empty suit".
Must understand economy and debt, unlike present leaders.
Perot is an Independent - owes nothing to anybody. He will
spend whatever it takes to run a first class campaign - no
phony stuff - no formal dinners at $1,000 a plate to grant
favors and get favors. Our present status is that we have
another 400 billion in debt this year, making our total debt
now 4 Trillion. By 2000, the natl INTEREST on the debt could
consume the entire $ of the USA. TAX REFORM is vital, he
says. Should be simple and fair. Perot is critical of our
System, not as much of the people caught up in the system.
If we don't change thee System, things will get worse no
matter who we elect.
PErot pledges to bring the issues to the people OFTEN
through electronic media and to listen to the responses of
the PEOPLE. HE wants the words MADE IN USA to stand for
EXCELLENCE around the world . He believes when people know
more about the issues, theya nd people who have EXPERIENCE
(not politicians) will come up with the best solutions.
RE WAR: First you discuss with the nation and IF THE PEOPLE
believe war is the best answer, then you declare war. Not
like Iraq, where we used Hussein to do our work... then when
he went too far, war happened. THINK AHEAD ON ALL ISSUES is
what I get from him. Eventually, when crisis issues are
dealt with, I believe life enhancement issues will follow.
But he says we must begin IMMEDIATELY to resolve the
problems which affect ALL of us. If no jobs, then no taxes,
then no......First we turn this country around and resolve
probs one by one with input from American people.
Listen to C SPAN and judge for yourself.... KB in CA
SUBJECT: H. ROSS PEROT
H. Ross Perot is an unbelievable man. Anyone interested in
reading about him should get the book, "On The Wings of
Eagles" by Ken Follet. Follet is usually a fiction writer,
but he wrote this non-fiction work about Ross and his
efforts to get two of the men who worked for him in Iran out
of jail there just prior to our "hostage" crisis. He is
unbelievable. If there was EVER someone you could believe
in, he is it. He has sense, he is honest, he is everything
that government SHOULD be and ALL that it is not!
I signed on tonight specifically to see if there was a board
on this subject so that I could find out where and how I
could work for him in Arizona. I will call the 800 number
as soon as I sign off.
I URGE EVERYONE WHO EVER BECAME DISENCHANTED WITH POLITICS
TO FIND OUT ABOUT H. ROSS PEROT.
There is hope for this country after all!

CALL THAT NUMBER AND READ THAT BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Donna,
What a breath of fresh air!!!!!

SUBJECT: GIVE PEROT A CHANCE
Sherrill, I'am 35 and have not voted in a presidential
election yet. Given the choice of candidates my reasons were
obvious. But I've long admired Mr. Perot,and after reading
this closeup board I'am not alone. If he gets signed up in
all 50 states this will be the first time in my life I'll
get to vote. Spread the word and maybe we can make a
difference, if not for us then our children. michael in N.J.
SUBJECT: PEROT & BUSINESS
Allen, You make some good points! I have just watched the
replay of Perot's address to the Press Club, taped on the
18th. I had seen very little of him previously, but I must
say, I liked what I heard! What is not to like? He certainly
seems to understand the need for radical change. I believe
that he has the country's problems in scope. He doesn't over
simplify the problems, but he has very simple, well thought-
out, common sense solutions, to get us off square one! I
have been a Buchanan supporter, for the lack of a better
option, but my first impression of Ross Perot, is, the he is
far and away, the best option yet! I would like to hear more
of him, more about changes he would make, more about a
platform. If he is what he seemed to be, he would be great
for the country!

SUBJECT: PEROT & BUSINESS
Isn't it time, that we cease to allow political parties to
dictate who we must vote for? I agree with Perot, that the
parties are the power that produces "politics as usual!" We
need something different. He is a breath of fresh air! He
even caught my wife's ear. That takes some doing! Unless
there are chinks in his armour that have not come to light,
I can support him whole-heartedly! WW in Fla
SUBJECT: ROSS PEROT
Yes! Yes! I believe! It didn't take him long to convert me!
I am a registered Republican, but I am not happy with what
either party has to offer.I have supported Pat Buchanan, but
the party machine has pretty much squashed his candidacy. He
is a good man, and I would still support him over any other
candidate from either party, but Mr. Perot puts forward the
most common sense measures that I have ever heard, from any
politician, if you could classify him as a politician! He
will qualify if he throws his hat into the ring, but in the
past, he has not behaved like a politician. If he has had
long-standing designs on political office, he has certainly
kept the secret well! Bless him! He just might be this coun-
try's political savior!

SUBJECT: POSITIVELY PEROT
How truly exciting it is to know that it appears more
hopeful every day that Ross Perot will run for president as
a 3rd party candidate. It is time that all of
us--Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and those who
reside outside of these groups--seek an alternative to the
stultifying status quo mentality which pervades our
government today.
Spread the word, friends--Perot is the medicine which this
ailing country needs! We have a golden opportunity to
affect positive change.

SUBJECT: AN ANSWER = PEROT
While Perot is a registered Democrate he will not affilate
himself with eighter party if he runs for office. He has
refused to run a PARTY agenda. I have seen a lot about
Perot over the years and can confirm everything I have seen
Mark write about him. * PEROT in '91 *

SUBJECT: H. ROSS PEROT
Let's hope Prodigy gives some coverage to this man! It is
gratifying to finally have some hope that we can get someone
in the White House who can put this country back on track.
Perot has some great ideas, and, with a mandate from the
American people, could do some great things.
<<Dave in KC for Perot>>
SUBJECT: H. ROSS PEROT
You're not alone by a long shot. I'm just as impressed as
you are. Mr. Perot has promised that he will make a run for
the White House if a grass roots effort gets his name on the
ballots in all 50 states. I believe he is a man of his
word.I'm going to the Sec'y of State in Ala. to find out how
I can gt signatures to enter his name on our ballot. If you
would do the same in your state and others would also,<pgdn>
it would accomplish two things:1)It would help to gt Mr.
Perot to run and, 2) It would get some peopl who have never
really participated in the election process, other than
voting and complaining, to get up off their hands and make a
difference. Just the fact that his name shows up on ballots
will scare the bejeezez out of the "fat cats" in
Washington.He would be to most threatening kind of
opponent.The kind who has th backing of the people.
SUBJECT: H. ROSS PEROT
I believe the political establishment, including the
news media, should take Perot much more seriously than it
does today. He is potentially a more serious threat to the
two major party candidates than were the last two
independent candidates, George Wallace in 1968 and John
Anderson in 1980.
Perot must clear two hurdles.
First, he must get on all 50 ballots (Perot's condition
for running at all). That is a daunting task, but both
Wallace and Anderson were able to accomplish it when the
rules were slightly more restrictive than they are today.
Second, he must convince Americans they would not waste
their votes on him--something neither Wallace nor Anderson
could accomplish. But Wallace was never really more than a
sectarian and regional candidate, while Anderson fell into
the trap of sounding like a conventional candidate.

One thing about Perot---He is a self made Billionaire,
therefore he must be able to manage a budget and knows how
to save money. Maybe he is the leadership America needs to
clean out Washington and make America live again.

Jack -- I'm not only interested in getting Perot on the
ballot in S.C. -- I want him on the ballot in all States..
I'm in the process of trying to find out who to contact in
Florida to offer my help here to that end.
I suspect there are people like me in every State and
suggest *P members in every State who know anything about a
Perot movement in their State immediately post a bulletin >
to ALL advising them who to contact to participate.
If the mass of ordinary citizens, fed up with self serving
party politics, don't get going NOW, we'll suffer 4 more
years of decline and ultimate disaster, whichever one of
the primary candidates is elected in Nov. If we don't get a
"non-political" competent manager in the White House in '92,
who is without any political party-special interest
obligations, we will risk getting some charismatic political
opportunist in '96 with an emotional appeal to disenchanted
Americans -- who may be either another Huey Long or a Hitler
