To All Candidates for the Office of President of the United States

(Sample Letter)

Dear Senator McCain

We understand that you have applied for the position of President of the United States. On behalf of the Reality Caucus and the People of the United States we have undertaken to carry out some preliminary protocols so that those who may consider supporting your candidacy can have the requisite information needed to make an informed decision. With this e-mail you will find a form to be filled out and returned. The information will be cross checked by our researchers. It will then be posted so the public can be informed.

The coming election makes it essential that voters have no doubts as to the character, values, abilities, and intentions of the individuals who will be candidates. As an American you naturally share those concerns.

Our Caucus is made up of individuals from all political parties. None of us are affiliated with any campaign or support any specific candidate as of yet.

We are sure that when you consider the long time need for transparency in politics you will agree that these protocols should have been in place long since. The Presidency is a job. Ensuring the qualifications of the individuals who want the job should always have been on point.

As you look over the form included you will see the questions are far reaching. Add extra pages as needed. The last part is Issues. That is for you to lay out your program for the four years of your possible presidency, including how you intend to accomplish your goals. That is intended to give you the opportunity to show Americans what kind administration you would create.

The Reality Caucus is working in conjunction with the Iconoclast. The Iconoclast has a well earned reputation for placing the truth over any partisan consideration and you can be sure that will be the case here. Your responses should go to reality@lonestaricon.com.

Included is a query on your willingness to submit to a full, psychological battery given by qualified, eminent professionals. We hope you decide to participate in that as well as this is just one more issue of real transparency.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation to ensure that Americans can make an informed and responsible decision in 2008.

Cordially,

Melinda Pillsbury-Foster
Coordinator
The Reality Caucus
