If anyone with access to talk.politics should care to cross-post
this, I would appreciate it.

I received an absentee ballot for the state of Illinois.  For
the benefit of those who would care to make an informed choice
before showing up at the polls, I thought in advance I might
list ALL the presidential candidates, since it seems that there
are a lot of folks out there who truly believe there are only two.

In order as they appear on the ballot:

Bill Clinton and Al Gore (Democratic)
George Bush and Dan Quayle (Republican)
Andre Marrou and Nancy Lord (Libertarian)
Lenora B. Fulani and Maria Elizabeth Munoz (New Alliance)
James MacWarren and Willie Mae Reid (Socialist Workers)
James Gritz and Cy Minett (Populist)
John Hagelin and Mike Tompkins (Natural Law)
Ross Perot and James B. Stockdale (Independent)


Perhaps some of these are not on the ballot for some states.
Anyway, for all you couch potatoes out there who have been
groaning about being 'forced' to make that lousy decision
between Bush and Clinton (because the  media told you so),
you will now have time to research views of other candidates
before you step into that polling place.  Who knows, you
might even find out that you like one of them ...

Thanks for posting that list. I was wondering how to learn who
else was on the ballot, especially after reading an interesting
article in Nature (British science journal) of September 10 about
John Hagelin, of the Natural Law party. I had no idea he was
a presidential candidate.

The Nature article said he is a physicist who has made significant
contributions to quantum theory, and is now associated with
the school in Iowa run by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, to the
irritation of his physicist colleages.
