| Who is Joe Bellis? My name is Joe Bellis an resident of the state of Kansas. I have been interested in politics since I was a teenager. I my journey through the political spectrum has been guided by the insight of many great leaders. I taken the conviction of Goldwater, the candor of Truman and the values of Reagan to develop a political philosophy that is unique in today's politcal landscape. I have come to the understanding that our current two party system is broken. The candidates for both of the parties lie through their teeth and promise anything they can to get elected (or reelected). Once the election is over, business as usual is the theme. They represent only their own interests. Realizing that change is necessary and seeing that the Republican were no different than the Democrats, I bolted from the Republican and tried to push for change. I was a independent candidate for President of the United States in 2000 and again in the early part of the 2004 election cycle. (My stand on the issues for these elction can be viewing by clicking here). While these campaigns gained ground through use of the internet, they failed to raise the kind of money needed to battle the political machine. Mid 2004, my focus switched gears and I began an independent campaign for Kansas Third Seat Congressional Seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. I filled the empty ballot slot for the Kansas Liberterian Party. The theme of this campaign was very simple: I give you a solemn oath:
If elected, I will:
During these campaigns I have had the pleasure of meeting many great Americans,. Allow me to take a minute to thank all of your for support. Briefly in 2004, I was involved with the American Patriot Party and the state party in Kansas. I served as the National Vice Chairman of the American Patriot Party and Chairman of the Kansas Patriot Party. My role in building these organizations include: defining the issues that the party must address publishing a statement of beliefs developing a party platform recruiting members recrutiing candidates
After watching the political landscape and hoping to see promising change, I realized it was not going to happen within the two-party system. I ,joined the Libertarian Party of Kansas in 2008 and ran for Kansas Third District Congressional seat. I received more than 3 time as many votes as I did in 2004. As 2010 approaches I remain vigiliant. |
