Hello, I agree with you wholeheartedly and have began a Bull Moose movement of my own as well. Mine however is a political party as I do not believe our system is completely broken beyond repair, only taken advantage of thoroughly. Anyway I would like to talk with you sometime about getting us all on the same page. There are many of us but we are scattered, if we can unite we can create something special. I have only just begun my website but I have been thinking about this for quite some time. Let me know your thoughts and feel free to join our group on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/groups/bullmooseprogressives/ . See you out there.

Like so many others this election year, I have been appalled by the anonymous donors in pivotal campaigns. I am sick and tired of seeing cleverly disguised interest groups masquerading as “Concerned Voters of America” or “American Crossroads” or any other fronts trying to buy elections for certain candidates. This is not democracy. This is monopoly in its purist form. How dare they. How dare they have the nerve to buy elections when Wall Street is making record profits and unemployment is sky high. We need to take America back from the greedy corporations. We need a government that stands up for the people and not its wallets.

I understand you as a movement do not want affiliate yourselves as a political group, which I see as a mistake. This year is the year for Bull Moose Party. If the Tea Party (of all things) can get candidates elected, so can the Bull Moose party. The 1912 Progressive Party (aka the Bull Moose Party) had a platform that was way ahead of its time. It included:
Disclosure and limits on political campaign requirements
Registration of lobbyists
Support of woman’s suffrage
A recall election of an official by popular demand
Support of the referendum
and many more.

The Tea Party has used voter anger and frustration at Washington as their selling point. However, their answers (!) fall short. Their candidates are simply puppets used by David Koch and his cronies to put more coins in his coffers. We need a party that will stand up and fight against billionaires persuading voters. We need a party that battles for the common American. The Bull Moose Party is that party.

Listen, I’m nobody special. I’m just a 23 year old CU grad living in Boulder that has been fed up and jaded by modern politics. If you really want to send this message home with people, we need to go door-to-door, start calling people, start screaming from soap boxes that we have had enough. Summed up in the perfect quote: “I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore!!” Let’s begin a party that brings sanity back to Washington. A party that listens to the voters. A party that is willing to be progressive and honest. The Bull Moose Movement is that party.

Dear David,
Right on. I have no idea why you think the Bull Moose Movement agrees with the Tea Party. I don’t think there’s anything on this site to suggest that.
keep well,
Janos

I am disappointed in what has been termed, “Bull Moose Movement”. You have no idea which ideals and progressive ideas Teddy Roosevelt embodied. He would have thundered against the modern (so called) Tea Party and called them “Luddites”. He would have championed the ideals of the Green Party in preserving our national wilderness. The Old Trust Buster would have railed against BP, Goldman-Sachs,etc. and tightened government regulation against these theves.
He was kicked out of the Republican Party because of his progressive ideas. The Tea Party is simply a fabrication by the likes of Carl Rove and his slimy band of cutthroats. If you were true “Bull Moosers”, you would recognize the sham that has become right wing politics and support real progressivism and really support this country in helping it pull itself up by its bootstraps (another TR cliche).

Thanks Tammy! I appreciate the compliment. Bill McDorman and his organization Seeds Trust offer heirloom seeds for high altitudes and specialize in drought-tolerant, native varieties. A good group to know about!
