You can’t stop Libertarian presidential candidate Michael Jingozian…well, yeah, you can.

Anyway, click below for the full press release.

Libertarian presidential contender, Michael Jingozian, was met with overwhelming success at the New Hampshire Liberty Forum held January 3-6, 2008.  Michael Jingozian is considered by many as the leading non-Democrat or Republican candidate for President of the United States.

The Jingozian for President Campaign has gained national attention recently and has been featured on the front-page covers of the St. John’s Sentinel and the Portland Business Journal, which dubbed Jingozian “Don Quixote with an entrepreneurial streak.”  

Michael Jingozian debated other Libertarian Presidential candidates: Daniel Imperato, Alden Link, George Phillies and Wayne Allyn Root.  Jingozian addressed the attendees just before Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX).

Attendees discussed the Liberty Forum and Free State Project’s commitment to political and social action. The Jingozian for President Campaign had an active presence at the Forum. Their exhibit table attracted attendees and media, and became a gathering place to discuss the need to protect freedom and liberty, and at the same time, learn more about Michael Jingozian’s plan for America.

Michael Jingozian talked about his recent successes in the fight against legislation aimed at blocking ballot access for third-party candidates.  “With congressional approval ratings the lowest in history, the Democrats and the Republicans are terrified that voters will begin to look outside our current two-party system for leadership”, says Jingozian. “As a result, they are making it increasingly more difficult for independent and third-party candidates to run for national office.”

The Jingozian organization produced an Internet documentary to raise awareness of this issue.  The video, “Kiss Ballot Access Goodbye,” was nominated for a Sam Adams Sammy Award.  The Jingozian organization will customize it for any association needing to raise funds or collect signatures for the purpose of ballot access for their specific state.  This excited not only the attendees, but also, other exhibitors who wish to produce similar videos for their own causes.  The video may be viewed on YouTube or at their website: www.ResetAmerica.com/ballotaccess/.

In 2002, Michael Jingozian founded RESET America.  As Jingozian states, “RESET America is a viable plan to save our nation and liberties before valid solutions that are possible today are lost forever.  We are dedicated to replacing the stranglehold the Democrats and Republicans have on our political system by supporting independent and third-party candidates for public office.”

Jingozian feels that America is ready for a change.  “We hear from everyone that the two-party system is destroying our country.  We need to elect people who put honesty and integrity before political favors, opinion polls, and fundraising. Our nation is faced with a multitude of converging catastrophes. The two-party system has caused these problems and there is no chance that they will be fixed by the Democrats or Republicans who benefit by the status quo. What’s more, we are running out of valuable time to implement many currently valid solutions.”

Michael Jingozian is realistic about his chances to get elected in 2008 and has developed a five year plan to gain control of the White House in 2012.  Their goal in 2008 is to capture 5-7% of the popular vote and win the electoral delegates from the State of Oregon and perhaps Alaska as well.

“People are ready for a real change”, says Jingozian.  “Our problem isn’t with getting our message out or even convincing people to agree with us.  Our real problem is that intelligent and qualified people are reluctant to enter into our corrupt political system.”  Jingozian says he plans to change that.  “5-7% of the vote is a crack in the dam that will open the flood gates for more participation from concerned citizens who are not ‘For Sale’.”

Jingozian is the founder and CEO of AngelVision Technologies, Inc.  AngelVision is widely recognized as one of the nation’s best run companies and has received over 40 regional and national awards for innovation and management since 2006.  In 2007, they were voted “One of the 15 Best Small Companies to work for in Oregon.”  Recently, AngelVision was ranked the 120th fastest growing company in the United States by Inc. Magazine.  Jingozian was featured in the September 2007 article titled, “An Inc. 500 President?” drawing attention to his campaign that is “capable of uniting third-party voters.”

Michael Jingozian received his BS from NYU in 1983 with a 4.0 GPA in his major field of study, honors economics.  He received a MBA from Bentley College in 1991 and earned a Certificate of Advanced Study in Applied Science from Harvard University in 1993.  For his help in assisting small businesses, Jingozian received the Pinnacle Award, in 2006, for the Outstanding Mentoring of Fellow Professionals.  

The Jingozian for President Campaign is planning to kickoff a 30-point promotional campaign that includes Internet documentaries, endorsements, a national college bus tour, YouTube Videos and “RESET stamp pub nights.”  Some political insiders say that this movement has the potential to catapult all third parties, including the Greens, Working Families, Reform and yes, of course, the Libertarians onto the public stage.  

Jingozian addressed the Green Party National Convention in Reading, Pennsylvania in July 2007 regarding the urgent need to replace our two-party system.  At the time this article was written, the video of Jingozian’s speech on YouTube had received over 23,000 views making it one of the highest watched political speeches on the Internet for the 2008 Presidential election.  It can be viewed at www.ResetAmerica.com.
