I want to run for President of the United States. NO SERIOUSLY! Question in the details.?
4 things are required to become Pres'.
Must be born in the U.S.
Must have lived here at least 14 years.
Must be 35 yrs of age. I still have a few years yet, but it's never too early to start something this big.
Must be Elected.
I am most decidedly INDEPENDENT. Therefor, it would be best for me to run an independent party campaign, rather than try to win a party nomination. What I need to know is where to begin. I understand I will have to "jump through certain hoops" such as acquiring a certain number of signitures for nomination. etc... What I need to know is exactly what steps I need to take, with whom I may need to register, how many signitures are required, are they required to be on a specific form or letterhead who do they need to be from, and who do I give them to. also what are the other requirements?
If someone could provide me with this information, provide me with a link to a website where I can get this information, or both, I would greatly appreciate it.
I understand the money aspect, but putting that aside. What do I have to do.

It has been almost a century since a third party had enough traction to run a competive race. A party nomination would be best.
The first thing to do is volunteer for campaigns. Then donate money to mainstream canidates. Have friends that are way more intellegent than you because they are going to be your best advisors.
Read Edmund Burke, John Locke, Machevelli, the Federalist Papers, writings of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and least of all the communist manefesto just so you know what socialists believe.
Follow current events, but when you do ask yourself "why is this person lying to me?" It will help you figure out what a person's adgenda is.
Study Truman's decision on dropping the nuclear bombs in case you would ever have to make that decision.
Take up hunting, golf, and fishing. Those things will help you relate to everyone.

The requirements vary by state. Contact the Secretary of State departments in all of the states for details. Their websites probably have the requirements online.

Not to bust your bubble, but it would take more money than even Ross Perot has. He tried as an Independant in 1992 and although he got 19 percent of the popular vote he received no electorial votes.
