Gene Amundson Prohibition Party:

Chuck Baldwin Constitution Party:

Charles Jay Boston Tea Party: "Why wouldn't I run? is the real question. I'm going to win if I get through to the end, because somewhere along the line, we're going to change some minds."

Jackson Kirk Grimes United Fascist Union: "We must end the reign of terror of the capitalist elite. To correct the flaws in modern society, the United Fascist Union recommends halting the monopolies on utilities; imposing strict censorship on the press; halting urban sprawl; and enacting rules of public conduct that police would enforce rigidly."

Alan Keyes America's Independent Party: "If you really want to see a change in government then we need to restore the credibility of the Republican party-a credibility that has been destroyed by the betrayal of promises to keep government limited and a betrayal that has resulted in outrageously high budget deficits."

Gloria La Riva Party for Socialism and Liberation: "As a worker and a union leader who represents workers who are losing their jobs left and right, my run for the presidency is against the corporations, the banks, and big money-the pillars of the American plutocracy."

Frank McEnulty New American Independent Party:

Brian Moore Socialist Party USA:

Ralph Nader Independent: "[Millennials] are the first generation that, when polled, say they're not going to be as well off as their parents. And the indicators are all coming down: millions of Americans not making a living wage, not even close-Wal-Mart wages, McDonald's wages, Kmart wages. Just think of that. This is the richest country in the world."
