My name is Tom Kirkman, and I present myself as a candidate for the presidency of the United States. Not as a partisan of the right or the left, but as one of you -- the frustrated majority of Americans who just want sensible solutions to the issues of our time. In asking for your vote, I ask you to take this giant leap with me away from politics as usual and declare your independence. Thank you. Good night and God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.

Tom
