Write In Willie Nelson for President

Welcome. You've landed. This is the completely unofficial home page of the totally unofficial campaign to Write in Willie in 2008.And yes, sure, we could start a blog and put videos on U-tube, but who needs it? Maybe later, OK? OK. They've got Obama and McCain and Palin. Isn't that special? The rest of us have failing banks, high oil prices and higher food costs.

For the Rest of Us - Here's Willie!
Take back America!
Campaign Theme Songs Are Below

Oh hell yes, I would vote for Willie Nelson in a second if he was on the ballot in 08. - David A.

NOTE: Hey, Dave. Pay ATTENTION. This is a write in campaign.

I can't believe I found this...several months ago, after the primaries, we were at work and discussing politics. I said we should vote for Willie, so that was our topic of discussion from then on out. I can't wait to get my bumper sticker, and convince the rest of the world to see things my way!

I definitely would prefer Willie over the other candidates running by more than a country mile! We need someone with common sense that has a love of this country. We need someone who is not a sell -out, moving jobs and services to other country ( poo-poo on the free trade agreement). We need someone who will get this country back on a moral track (yes, Willie qualifies here too. He would give real meaning to compassionate politics). Let’s take back America, and make sure all residents living here are legal residents. We need a President who puts America first, and stops borrowing money from China (where does this money come from?) to finance BS, and who will bring back made in America by Americans. LONG LIVE WILLIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Count me in. I've been writing Willie in for President since my early 20's... I'm in my early 40's now and he's the only person I can think of
I WOULD vote for. At least he's honest.. and has common sense.
Something this country's been missing for a long time. Julie Chouray

There I was, wondering who to vote for now that the primaries didn't go my way, and then I heard the Willie Nelson campaign song! I never guessed that a wealthy old white man would have a shot at getting my vote, but unlike all the other wealthy old white men who've been running the show, Willie is regular guy with our best interests at heart. Besides, he'd greet the nation every day with a warm "Good Morning America", and when faced with skeletons from his past he'd just say, "There's Nothing I can Do About it Now" and get back On The Road Again and do his job..

Hey, the feds took Willie's house and stuff, but his friends helped him get it back. Help Your Neighbors.

Now Ralph Nader has joined the fray. Can he carry a tune in a bucket? Oprah has Obama. Bill, you can play backup sax. The Republicans have McCain (and formerly Mitt). Go figure. Did you notice that these folks are all exactly the same? Tell any one of them that voters want something and they tie themselves in knots trying to become it. Some of them are already gone. Now here's an idea: Tell them all to Take a Hike!

At a Farmers' Market the other day someone asked us if this Willie thing was a joke. The right answer? Have you seen what they are doing in Washington these days? That's the joke and the joke is on us.

Roy Nilson said, “Willie has the experience. He's been president -- of Farm Aid -- for years. We badly need a candidate who has the interests of the American people in his heart. We have nine months left to get this grass roots campaign cranking. Our values are threatened, the economy is a mess. This nation is deeply divided. We badly need someone who can heal our divisions and set us on a better course.”

Even Barak Obama agrees. "America is ready to turn the page. America is ready for a new set of challenges," Obama said is a recent speech. We couldn't agree more. But let's declare war on meaningless clichés first. The Democrats are treating Obama like a rock star. But can he sing? Play guitar? How about electing someone who already IS a rock star?

"The established parties have made a mess. It's time for the rest of us to step up and fix things. But we also have to meet and deal with the old challenges before we just declare, "... clean cups, move down," Nilson said.

Endorse Willie!

What Others Are Saying:

Dear Write In Willie:
You know, I Don’t Get Around Much Anymore but Willie was Always On My Mind for president. With our support It Should Be Easier Now for him to get On The Road Again and realize that It’s a Dream Come True. When it comes to gas prices, Willie knows It’s Not Supposed to Be That Way. We can’t be Waiting Forever! We need to get out there and have some Good Times, otherwise The Party’s Over.

I know that Willie would be a big fan of a GRASS roots campaign! -- JD

Nelson, a singer-songwriter, teamed with John Cougar Mellencamp and Dave Matthews and others to create the Farm Aid initiative to help family farms. He now heads a bio diesel fuel company. "Willie is a man who could chart a new course for all of us," Nilson, neither a singer nor a songwriter, said. "Besides, Willie already has a tour bus and a bunch of roadies."

And he has international experience. Just this spring, he is on tour in Norway, Sweden and Holland.

Stickers sold so far to NV, AR, PA, VT (That was easy), NYC, FL, CA, ID, TN, TX, MA, MN, NC, CO, FL, MI - heck at this rate we'll cover the US in no time flat.

Who said it?
“The battle in Iraq is noble, it is necessary, and it is just. And with your courage, the battle in Iraq will end in victory.” -- George W. Bush, March 2008.

BUSH-O-NOMICS: If we brought 150,000 soldiers and all those contractors back from Iraq, where would they find jobs today?

Nicollette Thompson endorses Willie for president in 2008. She's not the only one.

So. What do we know now? That John McCain Thinks it's safe to go out for a stroll in Baghdad - with a Division of friends from the First Cavalry - in body armor? That Nancy Pelosi is third in line for the White House. Well, O.K. But Dick Cheney is still No. 2. And George W still has 7 months to figure out how to spell L-E-G-A-C-Y.

Would you vote for a candidate whose name (Obama) turns into Osama every time Microsoft runs its spelling check on outbound e-mail?? Is he Bill Gates' love child? How scary is that? Guess what, folks. Mr. Obama grew up in Hawaii, spent his childhood in private college prep schools and graduated Columbia with a degree in Political Science. Meaning no disrespect, but that's hardly your typical African-American experience. It's more like being John Kerry for a day or something.

Here's an idea - let's plow all the donated money that the candidates got into something really useful like heating oil and food for people who need it. Another 10 months of campaign ads? Who needs it. We can do this ourselves. Just Write In Willie. It's free. It's easy. We can do this.

Great idea No. 2. Let's convert all the crops in the third world into biodeisel. Now THAT will get our energy supply out of the hands of those Arab states. Feed SUVs, Not people!

If you encounter more stupidity from the candidates - click here to let us know.

Here's a thought: Willie speaking in a recent Newsweek interview said, "If we took the billions we're spending for war and backed our farmers to grow fuel, backed wind machines, solar power, we could bring our troops home and be more secure."

Rafe is working on our theme song "Gotta Put a Texan in the Big House." Mostly because he wants to meet Britney Spears. When he's done, we'll play the tune here so Rafe can become famous and interesting. And yes, we've met Britney and we don't allow any trash talk about her at our house. We are hoping that things get A LOT better for her real soon.

A portion of the proceeds from our bumper sticker sales will go to help a Farm School project get started in Petersham, MA to help connect children in our region back to farms and farming. We are currently raising money to help purchase draft horse harnesses for Maggie and Molly, a team of American Cream draft horses on our farm and hay and grain for our herd of cows, goats and draft horses.

You can Make a Donation to the Draft Horse Harness Project using PayPal. Maggie and Molly (left to right) spent the summer working and hanging out with Duke from the Upper Peninsula so maybe we are looking at a blessed event or two in the near future. E-Mail your contribution via Pay Pal to roynilson@verizon.net . We are working on the business structure and tax exempt details now.

If you want to send a tax deductible donation, contact Roy and he'll tell you how to make that happen. Or just send some money to FarmAid or send some cash to The Farm School. They will do something good with it.

NOTE: www.petershamcommon.com and its endorsements are not affiliated with any political or business organization, any church, political party, trade union, any foreign country, country music organization or performer of any kind. This write in campaign is not endorsed by Willie. He probably doesn't even know about this. Let's give the president's job to someone who probably doesn't even really want it all that much. And yes, we know that Willie lives in Maui now, but does that really change anything?

We will reach out to other web sites to recruit them to the campaign. “We didn’t ask Willie what he wants us to do,” Nilson, no relation, different spelling, said. “We are going to get Willie elected by popular acclaim, as a write-in candidate.”
Our Candidate Pays His Bills

In 1990, the IRS gave Nelson a bill for $16.7 million in back taxes and took away most of his assets to help pay the charges. He released The IRS Tapes: Who'll Buy My Memories? as a double album, with all profits going straight to the IRS. Many of his assets were auctioned and purchased by friends, who gave his possessions back to him or rented them at a nominal fee. His debts were paid by 1993.
