Here is a listing on the Reform Party and affiliated candidates that are running this year in 2012 for their various State and federal offices
Reform Party supported candidateKathleen Curry recently made the decision to run for House District 61 because they need experienced, nonpartisan representation at the State House. She believes our elected representatives should be focused on the needs of the people in their district vs. the wishes of the Denver political establishment. The Colorado Reapportionment Commission’s decision to divide Gunnison and Delta Counties into multiple house districts is a great example of how the needs of the people on the Western Slope were not the priority of the decision-makers in Denver. As Kathleen Curry did for the six years she served in the State House, she will continue to provide strong leadership on the issues that are so important to those that live in the mountain communities – water, oil and gas development, agriculture, and tourism and recreation.
If re-elected she will continue to advocate for the people in her district. With regard to fracking specifically, she believe that the state’s policy regarding the disclosure of fracking components is the right thing. In order to verify whether or not there are impacts associated with the injection of fracking compounds one has to know what materials were used in the first place.

In New Jersey’s 12th district, I believe Kenneth J. Cody is the choice. He accepts no contributions and has supported parties like the reform party and green party. He is established in the 12th district too. The guy got outspent 4 million dollars to $800 in 2010 and yes he got over 2,000 votes – pretty amazing. Vote Truth, Vision and Hope on November 6th – Vote Cody.

There’s nothing on any Minnesota House or Senate candidates running either for state or US. Are there any candidates? Other than that, I’m aiming to fully support and vote only for the RPUSA during this election!

I hope that this is all for real, and not just a repackaging of the Republican(corporatist) party. You see, we (the people) do need a strong third party candidate who represents the middle class(the new slave class) of the USA, since the lower classes already have the democratic(socialist) party who represents them. The middle class has no one to fend for them! We truly are the new slave class in what is fast becoming a hardcore Fascist absolute authoritarian ruling elite! The job of the rising third party is to offset this repression of the individual and individual enterprise. The job of the new rising third party is to provide a check on the absolute authority pushed by this developing Fascist Government and it’s corporitist elite. Without an honest noticed effort to provide that check on behalf of the middle class, as far as I am concerned, this party is just another boxed and wrapped bundle of lies and misinformation.
