Benjamin Goss, and the Goss4Governor.Com Campaign Team officially announced his candidacy run beginning with seeking the nomination of the American Constitution Party as the gubernatorial candidate for the 2010 election cycle along with the soft launch of their campaign website: Goss4Governor.Com.
When asked why he chose to run for political office in the midst of the most challenging time in our nation’s history since World War II, Candidate Goss responded with the following:
- One, it has been suggested several times over the past several years that I ought to consider running. At the time, the suggestion was outside of my thought process. However, with the onset of massive and significant economic and political upheaval, the time is absolutely ripe for change driven by powerfully persuasive candidates.
- Two, I was specifically asked to run during this mid-term election cycle by several close friends. After spending some time in thoughtful consideration, and with the complete support of my wonderful family, I agreed to throw my hat in the ring.
- Three, I have more executive managerial experience than Obama had prior to his run for the presidency. I have something to say about the abandonment of Constitutional principles which is being forced upon this nation, and it’s one word: “Stop.”
- Four, “It’s About Time” for someone needs to have the guts to stand up and say what needs to be said without sounding wishy washy. It’s time for someone to show that they are utterly committed to princples that matter rather than being overly concerned about what the next poll numbers are going to say.
- Five, “It’s About Time” for fresh vision, fresh resources and fresh answers by driving back to our foundational Constitutional principles which are the root of this great Republic.
The reality is that the Constitution Party does not need to dominate in an election. We only need to siphon enough votes away from the majority parties through educating voters of every affiliation as to the foundational issues at stake. From Democrat to Republican to 9-12′ers to Tea Partiers to Libetarians to Constitutionalists to the unaffiliated, everyone will respond if given the right information as to the policies of each candidate, the nature of their party, and so on.
