If you would like to support my campaign, please go to www.robertmilnes4president2008.com to volunteer and/or www.robertmilnes.net to make a donation. I am a declared candidate for the Libertarian Party presidential nomination in 2012. I am an Independent candidate seeking the LP and Green party nominations and any others in order to arrange the maximum number of ballots. I hope to be either in a position such as Nader 08 Independent ticket on well over 40 ballots or having my Independent ticket endorsed by the LP, GP, BTP and others which would be the ideal for future party ballot access. The Independent route seems the best in order to control the vp selection hence it’s character as a fusion ticket as well as to be able to proceed if the LP and GP fail to endorse the fusion ticket-as I expect. By fusion ticket I mean one Libertarian and one Green in order to combine rather than split each other’s niche vote. This and coordinating the downticket vote is The Progressive Alliance Strategy. I’m seeking a woman libertarian vp candidate to complement the ticket; preferably one from the south and an anarcho-capitalist. I believe Teddy Roosevelt was what we would now call an anarcho-capitalist libertarian. I’m hoping to do better than Teddy Roosevelt’s run in 1912 which although the best placing 42%/27%/23% of any third party or Independent still lost at second. We should try to learn from his run as well as what happened in 2008. My campaign in 2008 was hampered by my personal problems. I’m hoping to resolve them enough in 2009 to be able to begin a more customary campaign.

I have yet to hear from either Mr. Jingozian or Ms. Waymire. They still have a day and a half to send me something.
2 Mike Theodore // Dec 27, 2008 at 3:15 am
Peter, what email did you send to Jingo and Joy. I’ll ask Joy about it on facebook.

Robert, it’s nearly 4 years till Nov. 2012. I don’t suppose you’d consider running for city council or water board in the interim, to build a little credibility? As a few thousand people have already suggested.
4 G.E. // Dec 27, 2008 at 10:40 am
I highly doubt Milnes will be alive and/or outside of an institution or jail by the time the 2012 rolls around. The demons are undoubtedly calling him.
5 Karole Noymann // Dec 27, 2008 at 7:44 pm
I’m endorsing Robert Milnes for President and Cynthia McKinney for Vice-President in 2012 on the Libertarian/ Green fusion ticket. I will call the ticket the LiberGreenian Party.
I will write-in the names of Robert Milnes and Cynthia McKinney for President and Vice-President in 2012 even if they are not on the ballot. I urge others to do the same.
Since I live in New Jersey I will also write-in the names of Robert Milnes for Governor and Cynthia McKinney for Lieutenant Governor in 2009 (there will be an election for Lieut. Governor this time around). I feel they need all the publicity they can get in preparation for the 2012 campaign.

The symmetry of your proposal, Karole, is excellent.
7 paulie cannoli // Dec 27, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Karole, good idea, except that it should be called the Libertarian National Socialist Green Party – they already have a website
http://www.nazi.org/
Now, I know what you are thinking; they are actually not that racist, they believe in a multicultural reich based on pan-nationalism, and even have National Socialists for Israel.
http://www.nazi.org/community/columns/martinez/
I think this could be the winning ticket for Milnes.

The great thing about you, Paulie, is you never know when to stop. “You go too far!” Ha!
9 paulie cannoli // Dec 27, 2008 at 9:11 pm
Truly my weakness as well as my strength.
10 Ross Levin // Dec 27, 2008 at 11:13 pm

Folsom Prison Blues Lyrics
Artist: Johnny Cash (Buy Johnny Cash CDs)
I hear the train a comin’
It’s rollin’ ’round the bend,
And I ain’t seen the sunshine,
Since, I don’t know when,
I’m stuck in Folsom Prison,
And time keeps draggin’ on,
But that train keeps a-rollin’,
On down to San Antone.
When I was just a baby,
My Mama told me, “Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don’t ever play with guns,”
But I shot a man in Reno,
Just to watch him die,
When I hear that whistle blowin’,
I hang my head and cry.
I bet there’s rich folks eatin’,
In a fancy dining car,
They’re probably drinkin’ coffee,
And smokin’ big cigars,
But I know I had it comin’,
I know I can’t be free,
But those people keep a-movin’,
And that’s what tortures me.
Well, if they freed me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine,
I bet I’d move out over a little,
Farther down the line,
Far from Folsom Prison,
That’s where I want to stay,
And I’d let that lonesome whistle,
Blow my Blues away.

Karole, you’re encouraging Milnes’s hubris.
I’m sure Milnes thinks it’s perfectly natural for Cynthia McKinney to be his No 2.
But why would McKinney, a former Congresswoman and GP presidential candidate, accept second spot to Milnes?
That’s one of Milnes’s many problems. He thinks that far more prominent and famous people than himself, (Karen Kwiatowski, Angela Keaton) should be his VP candidate, rather than himself occupying the No. 2 spot.

Ohk Paulie,now YOUR trolling.
32 Steven Druckenmiller // Dec 28, 2008 at 6:58 am
He thinks that far more prominent and famous people than himself, (Karen Kwiatowski, Angela Keaton)
Neither remotely qualify as famous nor prominent. 99.5% of Americans are aware of none of the three.
33 Thomas M. Sipos // Dec 28, 2008 at 7:36 am
Steven, I never said Kwiatkowski or Keaton were famous or prominent. Just far more so than Milnes.
Like Brian Holtz, you need to work on your reading comprehension skills.
34 paulie cannoli // Dec 28, 2008 at 9:11 am
Ohk Paulie,now YOUR trolling.
Free association comedy. Some people have told me it’s funny.
35 Libertarian Joseph // Dec 28, 2008 at 10:00 am
Paulie is a green party troll. Notice how he always defends socialists? ha
36 Libertarian Joseph // Dec 28, 2008 at 10:04 am
Paulie, furthermore, your videos suck.
37 paulie cannoli // Dec 28, 2008 at 11:40 am
One last one here, and I’m giving this one a courtesy flush.

“These international bankers and Rockefeller Standard Oil interests control the majority of newspapers and the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of public office officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government.” – Theodore Roosevelt
39 HumbleTravis // Dec 29, 2008 at 7:52 am
“I believe Teddy Roosevelt was what we would now call an anarcho-capitalist libertarian”
What?! Theodore Roosevelt was an anti-trust proponent and I think it is safe to say he didn’t believe in the non-aggression axiom!
40 paulie cannoli // Dec 29, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Welcome to Milnes 101.
41 Ayn R. Key // Dec 30, 2008 at 9:01 pm
Milnes, don’t waste your time with the LP anymore. You’re ready for the big time. File to be the Republican candidate for President in 2012.
42 paulie cannoli // Dec 31, 2008 at 4:44 pm
Republican? Forgetaboutit.
Go for the *really* big time, beat Obama in the primaries.
43 Jay // Jan 5, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Robert I think you should give up this whole idea. You need to contribute in someway at the grass roots level and work yourself up. You have no qualifications for being president. You have no resume to speak of. You only paid dues to the NJ Libertarian Party twice, once in 2004 and once in 2007. You’ve never held a party office or position or even helped the state party in any way. I’ve never seen you at a General meeting or state convention.
44 paulie cannoli // Jan 6, 2009 at 5:49 pm
Jay,
Robert only has a certain amount of time he can devote to saving this planet. After all it is just one out of many where he does his important work.
Milnes can only help those planet that are willing to help themselves by supplying him with a female running mate, preferably a southerner, well-proportioned and available, constitutionally qualified for the office and ready to serve the ticket in whatever ways required of her.
45 Robert Milnes // Jan 29, 2009 at 12:02 am
You are all morons! I WILL PREVAIL!!!!!
46 Third Party Revolution // Jun 24, 2009 at 10:13 am
We here at Third Party Revolution endorse Robert Milnes in his candidacy for President of the United States, along with many other third party and independent candidates seeking offices nation-wide, ranging from local to federal levels.
47 Third Party Revolution // Jun 24, 2009 at 9:48 pm
So Mr. Milnes, have you stuck with the idea of fusing parties to form your “Libertarian Green Progressive Alliance”, or would you like to run as the nominee of a party that already seeks to do this, like the Libertarian National Socialist Green Party (http://www.nazi.org/), or the Progressive Libertarian Party (http://www.mjposner.com/plp/)?
48 Chandler // Dec 8, 2009 at 10:47 pm
How much money has Milnes raised? Like total, EVER?
49 Hola // Jan 7, 2010 at 9:28 pm
His house burnt down…
