The Bloomberg Story

The continuing stories about a possible independent presidential candidacy by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg prompted Jackie Salit to brief all of you on Mike’s history with independent voters and the independent political movement. The media assumes that if Mike decides to seek the presidency that he will automatically have the support of independents. Jackie's view is that nothing is automatic. Even a billionaire has to prove himself to independents. For the short term independents have to put the pressure on would-be independent presidential candidates so we can be clear on the records of those who might want to use our independent movement on a road to the White House.

I was part of Bloomberg's campaigns. I worked the East Side of Manhattan to get signatures so he could get on the Independence Party's Ballot line, Column "C". Mike called me and thanked me for the effort.
