I'm looking forward to being on your show Monday!

A couple of personal things: 

I'm 36 years old and have lived in Oregon (Portland area) all of my life. Mostly worked in management positions - mostly call centers and some retail/service positions. Hobbies include loving Baseball and having coached youth baseball for 13 years. Single, never married. My parents have both passed (Dad in 2009 and Mom in 2011), I have my Grandma (94) and have 3 sisters and many Nieces/Nephews as well as their families who give me amazing love, support & encouragement. I grew up with a lot of cats.  I currently have one cat named Titan who is like a son to me. He turned 11 on Saturday.

Info on why I'm running for President: 

Hello my name is Ed Baker and I filed with the FEC and am a candidate in the 2016 Presidential Election. I'm not a member of any political party and am very serious about being an option for Americans to consider supporting that can win.

I'm not a career politician. One of the reasons I'm running is because of how frustrating I find it that immediately following a "State of the Union Address" we see a "Rebuttal" from the "Other side". I don't label myself as a "Conservative" or a "Liberal" "Left wing" or "Right wing"... I don't even know what that means and that serves me well. I look at each issue individually. I try to talk to many people, get as many facts as possible and ideas before I give my stance on that issue. I'm not interested in "party lines" or playing politics with peoples lives.

I'm very passionate about 9/11/01 and don't at all believe the official story to be fact. We have had both a Republican and a Democrat as President since then and both have told us not to question the official story. It seems to me that whoever gets the nomination from those two parties the winner will ultimately serve someone other than the people of America. I believe that if I win this election it will help to derail this evil agenda and in the process inspire other good Americans to run for local, state & federal elections to represent the American people.

I am not running on one or two issues but instead believe we can address every issue that needs looking at over a four year term. I want to find out who knowingly was involved in the planning, execution or cover up of the events of 9/11 and punish them to the fullest no matter what position they held that day or since then. I want to restore Freedoms that were lost as a result of 9/11. I want to get a handle on our illegal immigration problem. I want to end wasteful spending and reduce our $18.2 Trillion National Debt. Reduce the $50 Billion in Annual Foreign Aid and put our country and people first.

I want to prioritize Military, Veterans and their Families. I want to defend the constitution including Gun Owner Rights. I want to help neighborhoods fight back against Crime - Gangs/Cartels. No child should have to choose to join a Gang to survive.

Basically I want to help Americans be less dependent on Government. The remaining Government needs to be People helping American People to have Dreams, Goals & Opportunities to achieve them. These are just some of the important issues that I will focus on. Education, Jobs, ensuring our Food, Water & Air are safe, holding people in positions of authority to high standards so if they abuse their power they are punished significantly.

Nobody will agree with me on everything. When someone gets to an issue we differ on they often say "You just lost my vote" and I then ask: Is that really the Deal Breaker? Is there another Candidate that you will support who will represent you better on that issue? What about the other important issues we do agree on? Will that candidate represent you on those issues as well as I will? No matter what the answers to those I am always open to hearing other points of view on issues & will always re-evaluate my position on issues as I learn new information. I will never compromise my values in doing so.

I'm looking forward to being introduced to this audience!
