The Most Important Elective Office in the U.S. Is Not the Presidency - It's the NYS Attorney General - the Nation's Sheriff of Wall Street, According to Libertarian Party Candidate Carl E. Person

NEW YORK, Aug. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Even though Obama was elected President less than two years ago, New York is in the middle of a campaign to elect (on 11/2/10) an official with more power than Obama to implement the changes voters believed, mistakenly, he would implement, according to Carl E. Person, Libertarian Party candidate for NYS Attorney General.

Person explains the basis for this awesome power:

• Elected and cannot be fired;
• Needs no new legislation;
• Has discretionary power and needs no approvals from elected officials;
• Raises $billions by filing lawsuits against wrongdoers (e.g., financial firms); and
• Renders his/her own legal opinions.

If the position is won by the Republican or Democratic candidate (elected prosecutors who did nothing with their power), this most powerful office will be ineffective, and the ever-increasing concentration and looting of our economy will continue, with reduced jobs, opportunity and hope for Americans, continues Person.

"If, however, I am elected," states Person, "I will have the power and willingness to start re-taking America, by many practical economic reforms (see my campaign website, http://www.carlperson4NYAG.com):

• Enforcing our rights at government expense, to stop their loss;
• Encouraging municipalities to appoint their own "Town Attorney General";
• Showing how to set up a tuition-free equivalency college for residents only;
• Showing how to set up an area-wide payroll administrator for small businesses;
• Showing how to set up local self-employment markets;
• Licensing local stock exchanges to provide local small-business financing;
• Encouraging renewable energy projects, manufacturing and farming;
• Showing how to set up locally-owned, non-usurious banks and credit cards; and
• Providing legal protection for persons creating sustainable communities."

"Federal, state and local governments could do any of these things, but don't. There's no interest by politicians who receive campaign contributions and assistance from corporations and groups opposed to economic reform, while getting richer and richer. If elected, I can start the grassroots economic reforms that are needed to save our democracy and the American way of life. Please tell your friends," concludes Person.
