Kelcey Wilson is an citizen who has been trying to get a run for president started as part of a Unity08 ticket for months now. But he hasn’t been able to, and it’s not because of a lack of effort on his part:

My first stop will be Washington, DC, which will be my home base while I collect signatures in Virginia and Maryland.

Maybe I will also drop in on the Unity08 headquarters while I’m there. I have been trying for three months to get Unity08 to approve a petition form for candidates, which they have suspiciously neglected to do so far. Since I have sent them two sample forms to approve, it shouldn’t be difficult. They claim to want to clean up politics, but by dragging their feet on this, they pretty much seem to be telling us that they want to give the Unity08 nomination to an establishment politician who already has large enough organization to go out and collect huge numbers of signatures quickly, or one who is simply rich enough to hire enough signature collectors. If they don’t get on the ball with that with in the next couple of weeks, they are sure to start to get some increasingly negative press. This organization seems to be preparing to shoot itself in the foot. What’s going on with Unity08? What’s going on behind their closed doors?

Good question. If Unity08:

1. Hasn’t got a form for candidates to gather petition signatures, and
2. Won’t even respond to Unity08 contenders on their own who want to start gathering signatures, but
3. Requires candidates to collect signatures
4. Has ten months to go until its supposed presidential vote,

then by gum, how is anybody but a connected insider who is filthy rich going to get on the Unity08 ballot?

If Unity08 were really a “grassroots” “people’s movement” (as it refers to itself), it would be embracing people like Kelcey Wilson. It’s not, which is another sign that it isn’t.
