Steele 1.3 Two-Party Tyranny & Battle for the Soul of the Republic
Robert David Steele, opening speaker at HOPE 01 in 1994 and invited back every time since then, will speak about his six week formal campaign as a Reform Party candidate for the presidency in 2012. He communicated with every presidential candidate less Romney and Obama, and will outline what he learned about “the system,” the personalities running for President, and several specific recommendations he has made to Occupy and others about how to reboot the Republic. His campaign website remains live at http://bigbatusa.org.
