As I stated earlier this year, The Shamgar Report will profile third party presidential candidates from time to time. I have contacted a few and have had one respond, and even talked with him on the phone for a few minutes. Gene Amondson was the presidential candidate for the Prohibition Party in 2004. Mr. Amondson is a minister, talented artist, writer of children's stories, and has published a book of pie recipes. He is man of many talents. I also found Mr. Amondson to be a very pleasant man who lives by his convictions.
Below are few questions that I asked him over the phone.
Why the Prohibition Party? Why not the Constitution or The American Heritage Party?
The Prohibition Party approached me. A preacher friend got me involved.
Why run for President? Would you have a more realistic chance of winning if you ran for Congress or state legislature?
I am interested in working with Prohibition Party on national level.
Your Vision for America.
Prohibition will come again. 85% of most violent crimes are alcohol related. Prohibition will come again. Responsible drinking is like a pig eating with a spoon. Also we need to stop the advertising of alcohol beverages.
What to say when you hear people say that Prohibition is responsible for organized crime?
The Mafia was here before Prohibition and is still here.
Your opinion of Barak Obama.
He is a typical Democrat. He would vote for a monkey in a blue suit smoking a rubber cigar.
