Political Wack Pack Idea: Vote For Person, Not Party
Libertarian candidate Jack Talbert, who legally changed his name to Thomas Jefferson, as part of a new initiative titled “The Thomas Jefferson project” to persuade people to vote for the candidate not the party.
The move has landed him on the first an 8 page Yahoos News article covering the oddest candidates of 2012.
From Yahoo! News:
Political wack pack: The oddest candidates of 2012With all 435 congressional seats, one-third of the Senate and thousands of state and local races at stake this Election Day, there’s bound to be some eccentrics. Yahoo News’ Max Zimbert rounds up some of the more unique candidates showing up this cycle.

“Whether you think it’s crazy or not, hopefully it gets people thinking about the founding fathers and Thomas Jefferson in particular and whether we have that form of government still,” Jack Talbert, now legally Jefferson, told the Topeka Capital-Journal.
His goal, according to the Libertarian Party of Kansas website, is to “launch the Thomas Jefferson Project … an effort to end gridlock due to party differences by introducing the concept of voting for the person, not the party.”
