Here's why it matters: Rocky Anderson, and the other political candidates who have glommed onto the Americans Elect Party, are doing so because Americans Elect is promising them a chance at ballot access. Ballot access was BOUGHT by Americans Elect. They paid professional petitioners to go around the 50 states, gaining ballot access for the Americans Elect political party. The money to pay for this came from corporate executives and Wall Street hedge fund managers. So, by joining with Americans Elect and seeking the help of their ballot access status, Rocky Anderson is taking a de facto campaign contribution from them. He's showing that he thinks it's great when corporate insiders control an entire political party, and that he's willing to work with them. See the problem? Rocky Anderson promised that he would fight against corporate influence over politics, but now he's actually helping to make it become even worse than it already is. Good question.

I read how big money people set up AE. What does that have to do with the candidates on AE? How does being a candidate on Americans Elect connect with big money?

He's joined Americans Elect, a political party that was created with cash from Wall Street hedge fund managers and is strictly controlled by a board of corporate insiders. Rocky Anderson's credibility just went out the window. How disappointing that we now see that Rocky Anderson has decided to embrace political support from Wall Street and from corporate insiders.

In 1975 I worked for Jimmy Carter. Rocky is very different than President Carter but they share the same penchant for honesty, integrity and telling it like it is.
