Excerpt
"My candidacy will bring blue-collar Democrats back to our party, the so-called Reagan Democrats.  I can also unite the 50 million Gore voters with the 3 million Nader voters.  My candidacy will rally traditional Democrats, as well as Greens on the environment, Natural Law Party members on sustainability, Libertarians on civil rights and the Patriot Act, and Reform Party members on trade.

"I come from America's heartland, a state, Ohio, with 20 electoral votes.  I defeated Republicans to be elected Mayor of Cleveland, State Senator and U.S. Congressman.  I'm a former big city mayor who has a record of challenging corrupt corporate interests when they tried to take over our city's public power system.

"I take a stand and I do not falter and that's what this election is about.  It is about our party's willingness to stand up, to speak out, to defend the public interest, to secure our nation, to protect the peace, to save and create jobs, to protect the health of the American people."
